President Trump blocked publishers from releasing a book by his ex-wife Marla Maples detailing their relationship, a report suggests.

His once mistress wrote a tell-all about their 1989 affair and subsequent marriage, but it was put on hold before the election, and has now permanently been put on ice.

A source in the publishing industry told Page Six that the President declined to give his approval, effectively killing the book's release.

Maples posted a picture with Ricky Schroder while in Washington, DC two weeks ago for the President's inauguration. A source in the publishing industry told Page Six that her book, detailing her relationship with the President, was officially 'sunk' when Trump declined to give his approval

Maples worked with a ghost writer to put together a draft, but after the election lawyers reportedly became concerned that the president-to-be would sue, and would not sign off on the book deal until she received approval from her ex-husband.

Unsurprisingly, he did not give his approval, reported Page Six.  

The memoir, 'It's About Time,' was supposed to cover her 1989 affair with New York's real-estate royal, their six-year marriage, and the birth of her daughter Tiffany Trump.  

Maples, who famously said Trump was 'the best sex I've ever had', signed a non-disclosure agreement as a part of their divorce settlement in 1999.

The agreement was the cause of the lawyer's concern, and guaranteed she could not deliver a manuscript as detailed and descriptive as one that she had promised.

Insiders say that the project is indefinitely on hold. 

Maples has tried to deliver a memoir like this before, in 2001 when Harper Collins commissioned 'All That Glitters is Not Gold'. However, that book never made it to print either, according to Page Six.
