Madonna denies asking Trump out on a date

A report in People magazine at the time published a quote, said to be from Trump's publicist, claiming Madonna had asked Trump for a date. But when the New York Times writer Vanessa Grigoriadis asked Madonna about it, she denied that it happened.

During the interview, she recalled that Trump called her incessantly while she was doing a photo shoot at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. "I did a Versace campaign with Steven Meisel at his house in Palm Beach," said Madonna. Trump's phone calls didn't stop. "He kept going: 'Hey, is everything OK? Finding yourself comfortable? Are the beds comfortable? Is everything good? Are you happy?'"

The music industry icon told the New York Times that she moved to Portugal with her four young children so they weren't in the United States while President Trump is in office.
