Melania Trump Shares What First Drew Her to Donald Trump

When Melania Trump first met Donald Trump in 1998, she was immediately struck by two qualities that would eventually draw her to him. In her memoir, Melania, published in October of last year, the former First Lady opened up about her initial connection with the businessman who would later become the 45th President of the United States.

Their first encounter took place at the Kit Kat Klub in New York City during Fashion Week. At the time, Melania, a Slovenian model, had recently moved to the U.S. to pursue her career. Donald Trump, on the other hand, had just finalized his divorce from his second wife, Marla Maples. Despite being on a date with another woman, Trump approached Melania and asked for her phone number. However, she declined and instead requested his number, a move that showcased her confidence.

A few days later, Melania called Trump, and their first date took place at his home in Bedford, New York. Reflecting on that time, Melania revealed that she was captivated by Trump’s charm and easygoing nature. “From the moment our conversation began, I was drawn to him,” she wrote in her memoir.

In a 2016 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Melania recounted the story, explaining how she insisted on taking Trump’s number instead of giving hers. She even joked about whether it was a business number, to which Trump responded by providing all of his contact details. His energy and vitality left a lasting impression on her.

The couple’s relationship blossomed, and Trump proposed at the Met Gala in 2004. They married the following year at his Mar-a-Lago estate and welcomed their son, Barron, in 2006. Throughout her time in the public eye, Melania has emphasized her independence and individuality, stating in a FOX News interview, “I’m standing on my own two feet, independent, with my own thoughts and my own ‘yes’ and ‘no.’”
