Did Melania Trump always have her eyes set on the White House? According to her alleged ex-boyfriend, maybe not!
Before she was First Lady, Melania Trump was a young model with dreams of a glamorous life in the fashion capitals of Europe—at least according to her supposed former boyfriend, Jure Zorc. In a tell-all interview with ABC News, Zorc shared juicy details about their time together from 1991 to 1996, revealing that Melania never imagined a life in the U.S.
A European Dream
“She wanted to live abroad, in Italy, France—a life of fashion. She was very fashionable,” Zorc spilled, reminiscing about their time together. He described their relationship as a whirlwind romance, painting a picture straight out of a Hollywood flick.
“We met each other like in a movie,” Zorc recalled. “I was on my motorbike, and she was walking down a street. I had to turn back and follow her.” The former beau admitted he was instantly drawn to Melania’s elegance and poise.
“I was impressed by her beauty from the very first moment. She was so stylish, tall, and her long hair covered her face—such mystery!” he added.
Donald Trump’s Love at First Sight
Interestingly enough, Melania seems to have a knack for making unforgettable first impressions. Former President Donald Trump has also described their first meeting as love at first sight. The then 52-year-old business tycoon met 28-year-old Melania at a New York nightclub in 1998.
Trump, who was on a date with another woman at the time, admitted in a 2005 interview with Larry King that Melania immediately stole his attention.
“There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania. I was supposed to meet this supermodel, but I said, ‘Forget about her. Who is the one on the left?’ And it was Melania,” Trump recounted.
For Melania, the chemistry was mutual. “It was great energy. We had a great time and started to talk. Something was there right away,” she revealed.
Celebrating 20 Years of Marriage
Fast forward to today, and Melania and Donald Trump recently marked their 20th wedding anniversary on January 22, 2025. The former president took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a throwback wedding photo, captioned, “Happy 20th Anniversary to Melania!”
President Trump also paid tribute to his wife on the official POTUS account, posting a heartfelt message: “Celebrating 20 years with my beautiful wife and our incredible First Lady, Melania. You’re an extraordinary wife and a wonderful mother. Happy Anniversary, @FLOTUS.”
A Life of Change and Influence
From a young model dreaming of Parisian runways to becoming the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump’s life has taken an unexpected journey. Whether or not she always envisioned herself in the White House, there’s no denying that her elegance and poise have left a lasting impression on the world.
Social Media Buzz
As expected, the internet had a lot to say about the revelations. One user commented, “Can you imagine Melania ruling Milan instead of the White House? Wild!” Another joked, “From catwalks to the Oval Office… talk about a plot twist!”
