A March ad from an anti-Trump Super PAC that featured a photo from Trump's wife Melania's modeling days in which she posed nude prompted a \"War Over the Wives\" between Ted Cruz and Trump.
Trump threatened to “spill the beans” about Heidi Cruz, and the Texan senator went on to quote “The American President” in her defense.
The drama appeared to reach its peak when Trump retweeted a less than flattering photo of Heidi Cruz side-by-side with one of his wife that read “the images are worth a thousand words.”
When asked about the retweet by CNN's Anderson Cooper during a town hall event in Wisconsin earlier this week, Trump claimed there was no problem.
\"I thought it was a nice picture of Heidi. I thought it was fine,\" Trump said.
When pressed, Trump went on to say Heidi Cruz is \"a pretty woman\" before noting that he believes he didn't start the feud.

In less than three hours on Wednesday, Trump took three different positions on what should happen to women who get abortions if the procedure were banned. The flurry started when he suggested that women who undergo abortions, if there were a ban on the procedure, should be punished.
The controversial statement was made during a taping of a town hall held by MSNBC, a portion of which was released by the cable network ahead of the full town hall, which aired Wednesday.
Trump later backtracked his position in two statements, the last of which stated that should abortions be ruled illegal, \"the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman.\"
On Thursday night, Trump told Fox News \"It could be that I misspoke,\" he said of the initial comment, adding, \"But this was a long, convoluted subject.\"
