Megyn Kelly believes President Donald Trump has no place to comment on other people’s marriages.
“Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had,” Kelly, 55, claimed on the Friday, May 22, episode of the “Hodgetwins” podcast. “He met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers. I’m from New York.”
During her conversation with cohosts and conservative commentators Keith Hodge and Kevin Hodge, Kelly insinuated that Trump, 79, was “proud of the affair” for a moment after it was “all over the papers.”
As for Donald’s current relationship with his wife, Melania Trump, Kelly isn’t sure how strong the marriage truly is.
“If you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, that’s great. You’ve got bigger issues than I can solve here,” she claimed. “The nerve for him to be judging someone else’s relationship. …. It just shows you he’s got chutzpah.”
Us Weekly has reached out to the White House for comment.
Kelly’s accusations came when she was having a broader conversation about Donald’s reaction to former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent’s resignation from the administration over the Iran war.
“Kent, horribly, lost his wife,” Donald wrote via Truth Social on April 16. “Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion.”
Joe’s first wife, Shannon Kent — who was a technician for the United States Navy — was killed in a suicide bombing in 2019. Joe met artist Heather Kaiser a year later, and the two married in 2023.
In her latest podcast appearance, Kelly also reminded listeners of the allegations that Donald may have raped his first wife, Ivana Trump, who died in 2022.
In the 1993 biography Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, reporter Harry Hurt III alleged that Ivana told some of her closest confidantes that, “He raped me.”
Donald has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “obviously false” and “incorrect.”
Ivana herself retracted some of the language around the incident, saying she felt “violated” at the time, but she did not mean rape “in a literal or criminal sense.” During her ex’s 2015 presidential campaign, Ivana said the story was “totally without merit,” according to the Daily Beast. (The publisher has since deemed the book too “dangerous” to reprint.)
“I don’t know whether that’s true or not,” Kelly said in regards to Ivana’s initial allegations. “I’m just saying, clearly not a great relationship there.”
