Women and girlfriends who surrounded or lived with Trump undoubtedly influenced his life and career.
The newly elected U.S. president has been married three times, and numerous girlfriends, models, and celebrities have become part of his life.
His first wife, Czechoslovakian model Ivana Zelníčková, was not just a spouse but also a business partner. Their marriage, which began in 1977, lasted for 13 years, during which Ivana assisted her husband in business. With her help, legendary projects like Trump Tower and Trump Plaza came to life. However, their marriage ended in a high-profile divorce amidst scandals, including Trump's affair with actress Marla Maples, whom he officially married in 1993.
These relationships were also not without turbulent moments: the couple frequently made headlines due to love intrigues, particularly due to Marla's affair with her bodyguard. At that time, Trump was facing financial difficulties but did not change his lifestyle, which further complicated his personal relationships. The divorce occurred in 1999, and Marla's settlement was substantially less than Ivana's — just one million dollars.
Trump's next great love was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model. Their story began in 1998 when Melania initially refused to give Trump her number but later invited him on a date. The couple married only in 2005, and 11 years later, Melania became the First Lady of the United States. Despite numerous rumors and critical assessments of their relationship, Melania believed in his electoral victory and actively supported him.
Trump is also associated with other well-known women, such as model Carla Bruni, actress Victoria Zdrok, and even Princess Diana. However, the latter story became his greatest defeat. Although Donald actively tried to win the princess's heart, sending her bouquets worth a fortune, she never reciprocated his feelings. This, according to Trump himself, became his greatest disappointment in the romantic realm.
