00:00More than 16 years after her divorce from President Donald Trump, Marla Maples is once
00:04again making headlines, but this time, the focus is not politics or past controversy.
00:11It is family.
00:13Maples recently shared a Valentine's post featuring her grandson Alexander, describing
00:17the moment as, love in its purest form.
00:20The post, shared from the Mandarin Oriental downtown in Dubai, showed her holding the
00:25baby and reflecting on how children shift priorities and perspective.
00:30She referred to Alexander as her tiny, joy-filled Valentine, writing that he holds her fully
00:35in the present and opens her heart to a deeper level of love.
00:39In her message, Maples emphasized simplicity and presence.
00:42She wrote that children remind people that love does not require grand gestures, only
00:47attention and intention.
00:50When we choose presence, we anchor more love in the world, she said, framing the moment
00:54as a reset from the noise that once surrounded her public life.
00:59Maples' relationship with Trump dominated headlines in the early 1990s.
01:03She married him in 1993, shortly after the birth of their daughter, Tiffany Trump.
01:08The marriage ended in 1997.
01:11In later interviews, Maples spoke about raising Tiffany largely on her own, explaining that
01:15while Trump loved his children, day-to-day parenting responsibilities primarily fell to her.
01:19She eventually moved to California to give Tiffany space to grow outside the New York media spotlight.
01:24Tiffany has publicly credited her mother for providing as normal a childhood as possible.
01:29Now, the spotlight has shifted to the next generation.
01:32Alexander, born in May.
01:34To Tiffany and her husband Michael Boulos is Maples' first grandchild.
01:38In recent posts, she has described becoming a grandmother as a profound life shift and a reminder
01:43of what truly matters.
01:45Decades after tabloid scrutiny defined her narrative, Maples is presenting a quieter chapter.
01:50One centered on family, reflection, and what she calls the purest form of love.
