He’s in her corner! Donald Trump will be cheering on his second ex-wife, Marla Maples, as she competes on season 22 of Dancing With the Stars.

“I think it is wonderful,” Trump, 69, tells Us Weekly in a statement. “I am very happy for her and think she will do very well.”

The GOP presidential front-runner and Maples, 52, were married from 1993 to 1999, and share daughter Tiffany, 22.

No word yet on whether Trump will attend a live taping of the ABC show, but he’ll have a presence regardless. “During Latin Week, Geraldo [Rivera] is planning to do a dance where he’s dressed up like Trump and his partner Edyta [Śliwińska] will be dressed as Melania!” an insider exclusively tells Us.
