Their paths first crossed in September 1998 during New York Fashion Week. Melania, a model originally from Slovenia, had just returned from a trip to Paris when a friend invited her to a party at the Kit Kat Klub.

Initially hesitant due to exhaustion, she ultimately decided to attend, drawn by the excitement of Fashion Week and the chance to reconnect with industry insiders. As the night unfolded, the club’s lively atmosphere set the stage for an unexpected introduction. While enjoying the event in the VIP section, Melania noticed a man approaching her table.
It was Donald Trump, who introduced himself confidently. Although she recognized his name, she knew little about him at the time. Despite being accompanied by a date that evening, Donald focused his attention on Melania, engaging her in conversation about her life, travels, and background.
When he asked for her phone number, she declined, instead suggesting that he give her his. Somewhat surprised, he agreed, saying, “I’ll give you my number if you promise to call me.”
Following that night, the two reconnected over lunch, where Melania learned more about Donald’s previous marriages and children.
Rather than passing judgment, she approached their dynamic with an open mind and enjoyed their time together. As they spent more time in each other’s company, she became drawn to his energy, ambition, and authenticity.
“Donald had a work ethic and success that I admired. He had a zest for life that was infectious,” she later reflected. Despite their 24-year age difference, they developed a deep connection.
She also noted that the public perception of Donald differed from the private man she came to know, describing him as thoughtful and considerate behind the scenes.
However, their relationship wasn’t without its challenges. In January 2000, as Donald launched a bid for the Reform Party presidential nomination, they briefly parted ways. Their separation was short-lived, and by February, they had reconciled, continuing to build their relationship.
By 2004, Melania had moved into Trump Tower, embracing life with Donald — cooking for him and supporting him in his daily life. However, the future First Lady still wanted a sense of privacy despite dating such a well-known man.
“I made a conscious effort to keep our relationship out of the spotlight. The press followed him constantly, but I preferred to keep things low-key,” she once shared.
That same year, Donald proposed to her at the Met Gala, making the already grand event even more memorable. Less than a year later, on January 22, 2005, the couple exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony at Mar-a-Lago. Melania stunned in a custom Dior wedding gown, capturing the essence of elegance and luxury.
