It was the talk of New York City and now Ivana Trump is revisiting Donald Trump and Marla Maples' public affair for the sake of her new memoir.

In Raising Trump, set to be released next week, the 71-year-old US President's first ex-wife, 68, opens up about the first time she was confronted by Maples, 53, on the scenic slopes of Aspen.

"This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said 'I'm Marla and I love your husband. Do you?'" writes Trump.

"I said 'Get lost. I love my husband.' It was unladylike but I was in shock."
