MELANIA TRUMP shot to global fame as the First Lady of the United States, after her husband Donald Trump triumphed in the 2016 Presidential Election – but what was she like before she met him?
Melania met the real estate mogul in
1998, two years after moving to New York, when she was working as a
model. The pair started dating and then married in 2005 – a year later
their son Barron was born and Melania became a naturalised US citizen.
She is a loyal supporter of her controversial husband, backing him up on
even his hardline immigration views.
She was born Melanija Knavs in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, and grew up in Sevnica with her father Viktor, who managed car dealerships, her mother Amalija who was a patternmaker, and her sister Ines.
She later attended secondary school in Ljubljana and studied at the university there for a year, before dropping out to pursue modelling full-time.
An ex-boyfriend of Melania’s spilled the beans to ABC News in March 2016 about what the future First Lady was really like back home in Slovenia.
Jure Zorcic met Melania in the summer of 1991when she was 21 years old.
He said: “We met each other like in a movie. It was a hot summer day, in between wars in Slovenia.
“It was the beginning of a new political era for us, the city was empty, blocked by the army.
“I was on my motorbike, and she was walking down the street.
“As I passed by her, I had a moment and thought, ‘Wow, who is this girl? She is so beautiful, I must turn back and follow her.’”
Mr Zorcic explained how he stopped his motorbike and started talking to Melania, before taking her for a coffee.
He said she was wearing a full leather outfit and that it was “the most fashionable piece” he had ever seen.
The couple dated for several months and spent summer days by the Croatian sea with some friends.
