Ivana Trump now says she's 'glad' Melania is first lady

Ivana Trump, ex-wife of President Donald Trump and mother to three of his children, ruffled feathers in an interview with Good Morning America where she said she was the "First Lady." She said she had a direct number to the White House, but didn’t want to call him there and create any kind of jealousy with Melania.

The comment prompted first lady Melania Trump’s office to make a statement calling the joke "self-serving noise."

However, on Fox and Friends, this is what Ivana Trump had to say:

"You know, I’m glad Melania is there, and I’m here."

Ivana Trump also revealed that the president asked her to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, but the Czech native declined as she did "not want to be in Prague for the next 4 years."

The first of the 45th president’s three wives, who was married to Trump from 1977 to 1992, is promoting her new book "Raising Trump" about being the mother to Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka Trump.

Ivana also says she sees the first lady from time to time and there's "absolutely no problem."
