The stunning transformation of Tiffany Trump

Tiffany Trump is probably the most reclusive out of President Donald Trump's five children, who include Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Barron. The only child from Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, Tiffany has flown under the radar for most of her life. While she isn't as visible as her older siblings and hasn't gotten too involved in the political sphere, that doesn't mean that she doesn't lead an exciting life.

Tiffany grew up in California, on the opposite coast from most of her family. Her isolation from the Trump clan is part of why you haven't heard much from her, although the younger Trump daughter has been making waves for quite a few years. She may have been overshadowed by her older siblings until now, but all of that is starting to change as Tiffany comes into her own. From her early years on the west coast, to her current status as the president's daughter, Tiffany Trump's transformation into young adulthood has been fascinating to witness.


The media largely sided with Trump's first wife, Ivana, after the press revealed he was having an affair with TV personality Marla Maples. Later, their marriage and Tiffany's birth became tabloid fodder. The scandal had a big impact on Tiffany's life, though she was too young to know what was going on at the time. If it hadn't been for the scandal, her parents might never have married — something Trump himself admitted in a 1994 interview with ABC Primetime Live. "My life was so great in so many ways," he said. "The business was so great… a beautiful girlfriend, a beautiful wife, a beautiful everything. Life was just a bowl of cherries."

In a 2004 interview with Howard Stern (via Newsweek), Trump said that he wasn't exactly thrilled when his then-girlfriend became pregnant during their affair and that Tiffany had not been planned. "I'm glad it happened," he said. "I have a great little daughter. …But, you know, at the time it was like, 'Excuse me, what happened?' And then I said, 'Well, what are we going to do about this?' [Marla] said, 'Are you serious? It's the most beautiful day of our lives.' I said, 'Oh, great.'"
