Melania Trump

Melania Trump grew up in the industrial town of Sevnica in what was then Yugoslavia, the daughter of Viktor Knavs, who worked in automobile sales, and Amalija Knavs, a patternmaker for a children's clothing manufacturer. She took an early interest in fashion and began modeling as a teenager. She later studied design and marketing at the University of Ljubljana but left before completing her degree to pursue a modeling career.

She worked as a model in Milan and Paris before relocating to New York in 1996. She appeared in advertisements and magazine photo shoots, and the professional name Melania Knauss became familiar in fashion circles. She became a naturalized United States citizen in 2006.

She married businessman Donald Trump in 2005, and their son, Barron, was born in 2006. When Donald Trump became president in 2017, she assumed the role of First Lady, becoming only the second foreign-born woman to hold the position, after Louisa Adams. In 2018 she introduced Be Best, a public awareness campaign focused on children's well-being, online safety, and the dangers of opioid abuse.

She generally kept a lower public profile than many of her predecessors, concentrating on family, official hosting duties, and a limited set of initiatives. After her husband won the 2024 presidential election, she returned to the position of First Lady in January 2025. She is known for a measured public manner and for protecting her family's privacy.
