The Journey of Donald Trump and Melania's Relationship, 24 Years Age Difference
Melania Knauss met Donald Trump while attending a New York City Fashion Week celebration party at the Kit Kat Club, Times Square in September 1998.
As is known, Melania, who was 28 years old at that time, was a model.
Citing Biography, here is a timeline of the relationship between Melania and Donald Trump:
Exchanging Phone Numbers
Trump is in the process of divorcing from his second wife, Marpla Maples.
Trump (52) is known to attend the fashion event with Celina Midelfart.
When his cute friend went to the toilet, Trump met a beautiful model of Slovenian descent, Melania.
After a while, Melania and Trump exchanged phone numbers.
Even unmitigated, he gave all the contacts he had.
"The office, Mar-a-Lago, the house in New York, everything," Trump said of the moment.
Melania finally called after making Donald wait for a week.
They then dated for the first time at the Greenwich Village Moomba nightclub.
Several times Melania broke up with Donald
As their romance developed, Melania and Trump reportedly broke up several times.
The couple married after five years of being in a relationship.
In April 2004, two weeks after the end of Season 1 of Trump's hit show 'The Apprentice', Donald proposed to Melania with a diamond ring worth US $ 1.5 million.
They signed a prenuptial agreement and supported Trump's success as a TV personality
"We were together for five years, and these five years for whatever reasons have made me the most successful," he told tabloid columnist Cindy Adams.
Their wedding took place on January 22, 2005 in Palm Beach.
The bride appeared in a Christian Dior gown valued at US $ 100,000 which was decorated with approximately 1,500 crystals.
Calling Yourself a Friend to Trump's Other Children
In 2006, Melania became an American citizen and mother with the birth of their son, Barron.
Melania is also reportedly getting along with Trump's other grown children.
Apparently, Melania is only eight years older than Donald Jr. and nearly 12 years older than Ivanka.
"I don't see myself as their mother," she later told Harper's Bazaar.
"I am their friend and I am here when they need me," he added.
Accompanying the White House to the Suspected Affair
In 2016, Trump brought Melania into the White House as First Lady.
If Trump is re-elected in the 2020 US Presidential Election, Melania will be the First Lady again for the next four years.
Melania and Trump's journey has not always been smooth.
In fact, in early 2018 reports of Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels emerged that made headlines.
Melania then canceled a trip she and her husband had planned to Switzerland and arrived separately to her State of the Union address.
However, those expecting some kind of dramatic split have been disappointed.
The first couple appears to have recovered from the allegations, with Melania appearing on ABC News in October 2018 to brush off rumors of their unhappiness.
The account was confirmed in the January 2019 book by former White House assistant Cliff Sims, who reported that their relationship was stronger than "public perception."
