Long before the White House, Melania Trump was a model who knew her worth—and it showed the night she met Donald Trump.
At a Manhattan nightclub in 1998, Donald, then divorced and dating, approached her for her number. But Melania had other plans. “Give me yours,” she told him.
That confidence set the tone for their relationship. In her memoir, Melania writes that she was captivated by his “natural charm” and “infectious energy.”
Their romance led to marriage, motherhood, and a term as First Lady. Yet through it all, Melania has maintained her independence. “I have my own mind,” she’s said—a reminder that from day one, she’s always called her own shots.
