Marla Maples makes her way to the pop culture with her infamous "best sex" line. As this statement shocked the many and even made headlines in the 1990s, she later denied its authenticity. Being known as Donald Trump's second wife, what's the real story behind her notorious revelation and past romance with the President of the United States?
The New York Post published the infamous headline about Donald Trump and his ex-wife, Marla Maples. She called the then-future president the "best sex" she ever had. The 56-year-old actress was by far known for that statement that made her part of the pop culture.
In an interview with Page Six in 2018, she took back her infamous line, insisting she never said that. However, she uttered her denial with a wink, so she might only be making fun of denying her first claim. But who knows?
Marla Maples once again insisted that she never said Donald Trump was her best sex and might be someone else swore that but not her. "[But] is it true? I'm not going to talk about that," she disclosed. "The truth will come out, just not here," she promised, followed by the wink.
At the time, Vanity Fair noted that Marla Maples might be hinting at a new revelation. She might do a tell-all interview, but the year came and went, she did nothing. There were even rumors that she would release a memoir before the presidential election, but nothing came out, too. Surely, people wanted to hear what she would say, especially about Donald Trump after his mediocre tryst with porn star Stormy Daniels emerged.
Marla Maples and Donald Trump's affair made headlines in the 1990s. Their romance was considered to be high-profile after they started their relationship in 1989, while Trump was still married to Ivana Trump. According to Elite Daily, he tried to bring her to the family vacation in Aspen, but he failed to hide it from Ivana.
In 1993, Marla Maples gave birth to their one and only child, Tiffany Trump. After two months, she and Donald Trump got married. Their bond only lasted for six years. Just like his first marriage, they also ended up in divorce.
Marla Maples raised Tiffany on her own in California. In a leaked Howard Stern interview, Donald Trump was surprised that his then-wife got pregnant. Although he was glad that he had a little daughter, he questioned what happened and what they would do about it. When Maples asked if he was serious, insisting her pregnancy was the most beautiful day of their lives, he only said, "Oh, great."
After their divorce in 1999, Marla Maples told The New York Post that she was happy to be away from Donald Trump, adding that she was trying to move as far away from him as she could. She admitted that she thought she could change him, but she couldn't, and she was less willing to put up with his behavior when she became a mother.
