Trump's second wife Marla Maples is hoping to become a UN ambassador in Africa after her ex-husband's election, according to reports.

The 52-year-old model and actress, who was married to The Donald for six years from 1993, was spotted at Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday where the President-elect has been hosting future members of his administration. 

A source told the New York Post that she 'has been very interested in philanthropy for a long time,' and is keen on an assignment in Africa.

'She has volunteered in Africa and she has taken Tiffany [her daughter with Trump] there recently,' the source added.

It comes as speculation grows that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kusher could be handed a key White House role.

The 35-year-old businessman, who is married to Ivanka Trump, is reportedly being persuaded to join the inner circle by new White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and presidential counselor Stephen Bannon.

His role could be senior adviser or special counsel, but the possibility remains that he could take on an informal advisory role.

Trump's three eldest children Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump are all part of his Presidential Transition Team Executive Committee and will likely take control of his business empire come January.

Meanwhile, Trump's first wife Czech model Ivana, 67, has expressed a desire to become ambassador to her home country, telling the New York Post: 'I will suggest that I be ambassador for the Czech Republic.'

Trump's publicized infidelity with Marla led to his split from Ivana in 1991 after 14 years of marriage, causing a media frenzy.

Donald said 'I do' to Marla just two years later, a few months after the birth of their first and only child together, Tiffany, 23.

Their divorce was finalized in 1999, and Trump went on to marry his 46-year-old wife Melania, who is the mother of his 10-year-old son Barron.
