Remember when Ivana Trump famously criticized Marla Maples, Donald Trump's other ex-wife, for appearing on Dancing With the Stars? She called Marla a "disgrace" and accused her of having "no class." Well, guess what? The tables have officially turned. Ivana herself just waltzed onto the Italian version of the show, Ballando con le Stelle, proving that sometimes life is full of unexpected twists.
Let me paint you a picture. There she was, the mother of three, stepping onto the dance floor in what Page Six described as a "partially see-through red dress." Now, this is the same woman who once declared, "I wouldn’t go on that show, dancing in those tiny dresses with the boobs and butt hanging out." But hey, people change, right? And Ivana sure seems to have embraced her inner diva.

From Critic to Competitor: Ivana's Dance Debut
When Ivana walked onto the stage, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. You could feel the energy in the room as she and her partner, Samuel Peron, took their first steps together. But here's the kicker: Ivana’s ex-husband Rossano Rubicondi also made an appearance on the series. Can you imagine the drama? Though to be fair, if Donald Trump were there, it might have been a ratings bonanza. That man knows how to draw a crowd.
Back in 2017, Ivana wrote in her book, Raising Trump, that Marla appearing on DWTS while her ex-husband was running for president was "disrespectful." She even claimed she was offered "a mint" to join the American version of the show but turned it down. So what made her change her mind this time? Maybe it was the allure of Italian charm—or perhaps just a good slice of pizza and some spaghetti.

A Family Legacy: Ivana and Donald's Turbulent Marriage
Ivana and Donald Trump were married from 1977 to 1992, a union that produced three children: Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. Their marriage, however, was not without its scandals. Marla Maples entered the picture during Ivana and Donald's marriage, and their relationship was famously rocky. Suffice it to say, Ivana and Marla don't exactly see eye to eye. But now, with both women having graced the dance floor of DWTS, they might just have something new to bond over.
