Donald Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana, was indeed messy, but they maintained a semblance of friendship for the sake of their children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Following their split, Ivana carved her own path as a writer, with her novel “For Love Alone” being published in 1992, two years post-divorce. However, during a TV discussion about her book, the conversation veered unexpectedly toward plastic surgery.
Despite being asked, the former model turned businesswoman denied undergoing any cosmetic procedures. However, subsequent reports suggested otherwise, indicating that Ivana sought enhancements following Donald’s affair with Marla Maples, who would become his second wife. According to former People magazine reporter Sue Carswell, Ivana’s decision to undergo cosmetic procedures was driven by her discomfort upon learning about Donald’s relationship with a younger woman.
Joni Evans, an ex-publisher, corroborated this, noting Donald’s disdain for Ivana’s altered appearance. Evans recalled a notable incident during Donald’s book tour where Marla unexpectedly emerged from a private area of the plane, shocking everyone on board. Despite the scandal, Donald saw the media attention on his personal life as advantageous, adopting the belief that “all publicity is good publicity.”
“But instead of arguing with her husband, [Ivana] flew to California to get some cosmetic enhancements to impress [Donald].”
The dynamics within the Trump family have continued to attract attention, with rumors swirling about Ivanka Trump’s alleged cosmetic enhancements amid reported tensions with her stepmother, Melania Trump. While the Trump women have addressed these rumors, they remain a subject of fascination and speculation.
