Before that, he wed Ivana Trump, and together they had three children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. He later married Marla Maples in 1993, and they welcomed his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump.
Now, the woman who claims to be Trump’s “secret” daughter has come forward publicly, making headlines by demanding a DNA test in a dramatic new development.
Who is the ‘secret’ daughter?
Necla Ozmen, 55, who lives in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, is the woman behind the legal filing.
Court documents say she was born in 1970 and is officially registered as the daughter of Sati and Dursun Ozmen. However, she claims she later discovered she had been adopted, alleging that the woman who raised her, Sati, revealed the truth in 2017.
According to Ozmen, a so-called “baby swap” occurred at a Turkish hospital around the time of her birth. She alleges that Sati delivered a stillborn child, and that another woman in the hospital—an American named Sophia who had just given birth—gave her newborn to Sati to raise.
The question of why an American woman would give up her baby under such circumstances remains unanswered.
Why does the woman believe she is Trump’s daughter?
Ozmen claims that Sophia gave her away because she was the child of what she describes as a “forbidden” relationship with President Trump.
She also alleges that Sophia showed Sati a photograph of Trump at the time she handed over the baby. Now, Ozmen is seeking a paternity test to determine her biological father and says she wants the opportunity to speak directly with the President.
Speaking to DHA Press, Ozmen said: “I don’t want to cause him any trouble. I just want to know the truth.”
“I just want to know whether he is my father,” she added. “I would like him to speak with me. I can prove through a DNA test that he is my father, if he agrees.”
The 55-year-old said: “I believe he is a good father. I believe he will not turn me away either.”
The court has is reported to have rejected her lawsuit on grounds that there is not enough evidence to back up her claims.
However, Ozmen is appealing the decision, and has further sent petitions to courts in the US.
