Former First Lady Melania Trump has made explosive revelations about her husband, former President Donald Trump, amid his ongoing campaigns for the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
In her recent memoir, Melania, which is slated to release on October 8, the former FLOTUS revealed her first encounter with Trump.
She disclosed that she first met with her now husband at a Fashion Week party in 1998, where she was attending with a friend.
In her first encounter with Trump, he was accompanied by another “attractive blonde” woman.
“I saw my friend wave at someone behind me. When I turned around, I noticed a man and an attractive blonde woman approaching us,” she wrote.
Melania recalled “‘Hi. I’m Donald Trump,’” to which she responded with, “‘Nice to meet you.’”
However she recognized his name, but didn’t know much about him, she noted, ““recognized the name, and I knew he was a businessman or celebrity, but not much else. He put his hand out to shake mine.”
She explained their interaction, saying, “His eyes filled with curiosity and interest, and, seizing the opportunity, he took the seat next to mine and started a conversation.
Melania revealed, “There was so much bustling activity around us, but his intent focus on our interaction made me feel like the centre of his world.”
Notably, the two would go on to date on and off before marrying in 2005, and they welcomed their son, Barron, in 2006.
