Melania Trump’s secret dating history finally
Melania Trump: From Slovenian Roots to First Lady
Before becoming First Lady, Melania Trump lived a quiet life far from fame.
Born Melanija Knavs in Sevnica, Slovenia, she pursued modeling in Ljubljana, Milan, Paris, and New York, where her life changed forever.
She met Donald Trump in 1998 at a Fashion Week party. Though initially hesitant — “He’s here with a woman.
I am absolutely not giving him my number,” she told a friend — the two later began dating.
Known for being “not a party girl,” Melania focused on her career until marrying Trump in 2005 and welcoming son Barron a year later.
Before Donald, Melania reportedly dated Peter Butoln, her “first real love” in Slovenia,
and Jure Zorcic, who recalled, “We met each other like in a movie.”
By 1999, Melania predicted Trump’s future, saying, “He would be a great president.”
From small-town beginnings to global prominence, her journey remains remarkable.
