Ivana Trump has reportedly said that her daughter, Ivanka, has a "fine" relationship with her stepmother, Melania.
In an interview with The Atlantic, "the first Mrs Trump", who is mother to Ivanka, Don Jr and Eric, said her daughter gets on much better with her father's third wife than shedid with his second wife, Marla Maples.
"She likes her (Melania) fine, because she didn't cause me to break up the marriage like the other one — I don't even want to pronounce her name,' Ivana said of Maples in an interview with The Atlantic.
Ivanka always had a frosty relationship with Ms Maples and now does not speak to her at all, reports news.com.au.
However, she is very close with Tiffany, her father's child with Marla.

Another senior source told the magazine that Melania and Ivanka Trump had a "desire to be mutually respectful" but said their relationship was not "affectionate".
Stephanie Grisham, the spokeswoman for the first lady, told the magazine that Ivanka and Melania have "always shared a close relationship and still do today."

Ivana married Donald Trump in 1977 but they split in 1989 when the now president began an affair with model Marla Maples.
