After Maples, 61, showed off her own Elie Saab gown for the gala, she flipped the camera to show Vice President JD Vance introducing Trump to the crowd.

Anderson also shared the video on her own social media page, captioning it, “Backstage with this beauty ready to watch some dancing.”

The model, 38, has seemingly been welcomed into the Trump family with open arms after she started dating Donald Trump Jr. in 2024.

Since then, the two have been spotted jetting off to Italy for a getaway and spending the holidays with the Trump family at Mar-A-Lago.

Their new relationship also confirmed that Don Jr., 47, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, had broken up after being together since 2018 and getting engaged in 2022.

However, the two women had an awkward run-in during the inauguration weekend when they were spotted attending the same events.

As for Maples and President Trump, they first got together in 1984 while he was still married to his first wife, Ivana.

After he divorced Ivana in 1990, the two continued their relationship before getting pregnant with Tiffany.

In 1993, two months after Tiffany was born, they tied the knot in a big ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. However, their romance was short-lived when he accused the actress of having an affair with their bodyguard and ultimately splitting in 1999.

Despite their complicated history, the two seemed to be on good terms after Maples attended most events during Trump’s inauguration weekend.
