Marla Maples, an American actress and television personality, was married to Donald Trump from 1993 to 1999. Their relationship began while Trump was still married to his first wife, Ivana Trump. Maples and Trump met in 1984 and had a highly publicized relationship, which included at least one breakup. They have one daughter together, Tiffany Trump, born on October 13, 1993.
According to Maples, the 1993 Long Island Rail Road shooting caused Trump to reevaluate his life and propose to her. The couple married on December 20, 1993, at New York's Plaza Hotel, in a ceremony reportedly attended by 1,000 guests, including Rosie O'Donnell and O.J. Simpson.
However, their marriage faced challenges. In 1996, Trump fired his bodyguard, Spencer Wagner, after a police officer found Maples and Wagner together under a lifeguard stand on a deserted beach at 4:00 a.m. Both Maples and Trump denied that she was having an affair, despite reports in tabloids.
The couple separated in May 1997 and divorced on June 8, 1999. Under the terms of their prenuptial agreement and divorce settlement, Maples is bound by a confidentiality agreement regarding their marriage, limiting public knowledge about the specific reasons for their separation.

While the exact catalyst for their divorce remains private due to confidentiality agreements, reports suggest that the couple's differing priorities and personal issues, including allegations of infidelity, contributed to their separation. Maples reportedly sought $25 million in their prenuptial agreement but ultimately agreed to $1 million if they separated within five years, plus another $1 million to purchase a home.
