The possible future first lady: Melania, the model who fascinated millionaire Donald Trump
"We have amazing sex at least once a day." This is how the one who could be the first lady of the White House, the former model Melania Knavs (45), expressed herself if Donald Trump (69), despite all the regrets -which are many-, were to become President of the United States.
Direct and probably with a lot of intention, Trump's partner was shown in early 2000 when their relationship had only just begun. It was the beginning of what today is a fully consolidated couple: they have been married for more than a decade and have a son.
If the probable situation occurred that her husband succeeded Obama, she would be the first American consort from whom all her 'intimacies' would be known because, due to her work, she has posed nude several times, something that is not an isolated or specific event but rather frequent in Melania's life.
Born in Slovenia in 1970 (when it was still part of Yugoslavia), she is the daughter of another model, Amalija, which allowed her to know the world of fashion since she was a child; Profession to which she would dedicate herself since the photographer Stane Darko discovered her at the age of 17 while walking through a shopping center.
Darko did not miss the shot: after the pose, Melania, who had already changed her real name to Knauss, signed a contract with a modeling agency in Milan. Paolo Zampolli, owner of the important modeling agency that led her to gain a foothold, signed her.
Thus began the career of the possible future first lady and of whom Zampolli said that she was very little fond of parties and that she preferred to stay at home.
They met at a party
In 1966 she set foot in New York and began to learn to reduce the modesty and shame, and the insecurity that she could not get rid of. Of course, she worked non-stop for years, and precisely for this reason and that is how she met her current partner.
It was Zampolli who took her to a party he organized at the Kit Kat Club on the occasion of New York Fashion Week in 1998, and where the millionaire Donald Trump was also. He was completely seduced by her.
After divorcing his second wife, Marla, in 1999, he began dating Melania, then 29, who was quickly labeled by the tabloid press: cheeky gold digger. "The press can be very cruel. You can't hug an apartment or a plane," the model replied.
But the definitive answer was given with a fact: she married him on January 22, 2005 in Palm Beach. And then it seems that the insecurities and shyness that it seemed she had were removed and she played the role of enchanted "woman". She did not hesitate from that moment to show images of luxury: in private planes or with ostentatious jewelry, on social networks.
For years, Melania has not thought about it when it comes to showing the Trump Tower suite that she occupies with her son (born in 2006). You have not missed the opportunity to start your own jewelry business.
Melania, who speaks four languages, has become, and in all fields: from political issues to how to go or be in an interview, the absolute advisor to her husband, whom she defends tooth and nail from the criticism she receives for their convictions.
