Melania Trump (born Melanija Knavs, anglicized to Melania Knauss, on May 6,
1970) is a model from Slovenia and is the wife of the prolific American
business executive and real estate magnate Donald Trump, who is 24 years her
senior and whom she married on January 22, 2005.
She was born in Sevnica, Slovenia, at the time when it was part of (the
former) Yugoslavia. She grew up in a home where her father and mother made
sure she was well-educated with the intention of success in life on their
minds. This meant many hours of studying books when she was young.

In 1999, she met Trump at a fashion event. At the same time she secured a
big modeling job for Allure magazine.
Her notoriety was raised a few notches after appearing on the Howard Stern
show with Trump and revealing their naughty sex life. This led to a nude
layout in British GQ magazine, including the cover shot in January of 2000.
She was considered a supermodel in many parts of Europe, although she did
not achieve that level of fame in the United States.
As Melania's relationship with Trump grew, Melania continued to do modeling,
but also became involved with the social set of New York. Their relationship
received increasing publicity after the launch of Trump's successful
business-oriented reality television show, The Apprentice.
Trump and Knauss became engaged in 2004, and married on January 22, 2005 at
Bethesda by the Sea Episcopal Church in West Palm Beach, Florida, followed
by a reception at Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate. Their wedding ceremony was
widely covered by the media, with the fact that Knauss wore a $200,000 dress
frequently noted.
Recently, Knauss has appeared in a comic TV advertisement for Aflac
insurance, in which she and the Aflac mascot, a duck, voiced by comedian
Gilbert Gottfried, exchange personalities via a Frankenstein-like mad
experiment. She has appeared as a guest host on The View.
On September 27, 2005, the Trumps announced that Melania is pregnant with
Donald Trump's fifth child. |
