For over two decades, Melania and Donald Trump’s relationship has fascinated the public. From their first meeting in 1998 to life in the White House and beyond, their journey together has been anything but ordinary.
A Chance Meeting That Changed Everything
It was Fashion Week, 1998, when Melania—then a rising model—received an invite to a party at the Kit Kat Klub in New York. Initially, she wasn’t interested, preferring a quiet night at home. But something made her change her mind.
That night, amidst flashing lights and industry elites, Donald Trump walked up to her table.
“Hi, I’m Donald Trump,” he said confidently.
Melania recognized his name but knew little about him. They struck up a conversation, and despite being there with a date, Trump was clearly intrigued by Melania.
Before the night ended, he asked for her number. She refused—but countered with a bold move.
“Give me your number,” she said. If he was truly interested, he’d have to prove it.
