Melania Trump (nee Melanija Knavs) was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, which at the time was part of Yugoslavia on April 26, 1970, a town of about 23,000 people located in southeastern Slovenia.

She began modeling when she was five years old, and went professional at the age of 16. She has won several international modeling competitions, and worked in Italy.

She met Donald Trump shortly after moving to New York in 1998 at a fashion party, and eventually began dating him.

They did not marry for almost 7 years.

Not only is she famous as the wife of the President of the US, but also as an accomplished model, speaking several languages, and also for speaking her mind.

Her son, Barron, is also fluent in English and Slovene.

Shortly after the election Melania is quoted on her husband's tweets that she had rebuked him "all the time" but that "he will do what he wants to do in the end."
