Let’s start with some basics.
Born in 1970 in Slovenia, Melanija Knavs, known today as Melania Trump, spent much of her childhood in Sevnica, a town of less than 5,000 inhabitants. Her father was a member of the Communist Party, but had his daughter secretly baptized by a Catholic priest. From the age of 5, Melania worked as a model, first in Slovenia, and then in Milan and Paris, before moving to New York. There she eventually met Donald Trump, a businessman and celebrity 24 years her senior. They married in 2005, and together they had one son, Baron William Trump. Before becoming first lady, Melania founded successful jewelry and skincare companies.
