As the story goes, on June 26, 1991, a photo of Trump and then-girlfriend Marla Maples was splashed across the front page of the New York Post accompanied by the blaring headline, “IT’S OVER.” The Post story alleged that Trump was leaving Maples for Bruni—a report Trump himself confirmed the following day. But Bruni was adamant that ‘it was all a lie’, and that she’d never spent any alone time with the boastful real estate mogul. Her version of events was corroborated in the Trump biography Lost Tycoon, which claimed that after she rebuffed him, Trump began spreading a ‘rumour’ that he and Bruni were in a relationship.
“Actually, the whole situation was very vague and just did not exist. So I was very surprised when he went to the press,” Bruni said even as she talks on music, Melania’s nudes, and those pesky Donald Trump Rumours in a conversation with Daily Beast.
