Happy birthday Melania Trump! Sunday April 26, the First Lady celebrates her 50th birthday in a special climate, because of the coronavirus epidemic. 32 years ago, the then model met her husband, Donald Trump. In 1998, Melania Knauss was 28 and he was 55. And when the eyes of the Slovenian beauty met those of the real estate mogul at a gala in honor of the renovation of the Grand Central Terminal in New York , it was obvious.
Just like at that party at the Kit Kat Club in Times Square where the two met. At the time, however, the President of the United States - although separated - was still married to Marla Maples, Tiffany's mother. Worse still, on that evening, Donald Trump was accompanied. But the one who will become his wife did not let herself be deflated. "He wanted my number but was with someone, so obviously I refused," she told Harper's Bazaar.
"I told him, 'I'm not giving you my number, give me yours and I'll call you.' I wanted to see what kind of number he was going to give me - if that was going to be his business card - what for I won't do business with you, I thought, "remembered the First Lady, who kept her word. In 1999, Donald Trump finally divorced his wife and the two began to flaunt themselves as a couple at social events or on television, where the current Potus had his show. Six years after their meeting, Donald and Melania got engaged before saying "Yes, I do" in 2005. For his third marriage, the real estate mogul had seen the big picture: they had invited more than 350 people (including Bill and Hillary Clinton) at Mar a Lago, the President's second home. For this unforgettable day, Melania Trump was sublime in a Dior dress designed by John Galliano at $ 200,000.
A tight-knit couple despite everything
The following year, Donald and Melania Trump became Baron's parents. And according to several American media, the birth of their son would have been the beginning of the end of their love affair. "A guest of one of the Trump houses, at the end of Melania's pregnancy, remembers Donald who tells him to have accepted this baby on the condition that Melania finds her body of yesteryear, we read in particular in Vanity Fair. She promised everything would be back to normal. There was no 'How are you feeling?', No opening doors so she wouldn't fall. Just a: 'It's you who wanted it '. " But if their marriage is, since that day, on the verge of breaking up, Donald Trump and the First Lady have always denied the rumors. It is united and in love that they are trying today to re-elect the president at the head of the USA next November.
