—Chuck Harper, Avondale Estates
A: Maples, who grew up in the North Georgia town of Cohutta, hasn't spoken publicly about Trump's campaign, but their daughter Tiffany Trump, 22, has been photographed with her siblings at campaign stops.
Maples, who was married to Trump from 1993 to 1999, raised Tiffany in California. Maples moved from Los Angeles to New York last summer, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported last month.
“I’m so happy to be Tiffany Trump, happy to be in the family I’m in,” Tiffany said on “20/20” in November.
She also said that Trump “always says, ‘I’m really happy that you got your mom’s hair, not my hair.’ ”
Tiffany is a student at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump’s alma mater.
