Marla Maples is undoubtedly looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with her daughter Tiffany Trump, and the mom couldn’t resist sharing a throwback picture of her only child visiting Santa Claus.
The 54-year-old, who is President Donald Trump’s second ex-wife, got into the holiday spirit on Thursday when she took to Instagram to post a heartwarming photo of herself holding Tiffany while she and her late mother, Ann, sat on Santa’s lap.
Marla paid tribute to both her mom and daughter when she captioned the image, writing: ‘#tbt to a precious moment with Mom (our dearest angel of Christmas), a man called “Santa” and this littlest bit of Holiday Magic @tiffanytrump who brings the Joy!’
