Melania Trump is turning 50 next month. If her husband wins the reelection this coming November, she will remain as the First Lady of the United States for another three years. This means her life will be exposed further before the public.
However, many experts and analysts noted that Melania is seemingly the only First Lady who lives a very private life. As it happens, throughout her existence, she was said to value her privacy so much since she was a kid.
According to Express UK, Melania Trump was born as Melanija Knavs in Slovenia to the Knavs couple, Viktor and Amalija. The family of four was said to live a normal life as the patriarch worked as a car dealer while her mother was a children's clothing designer.
As a kid of a clothing designer, sources shared that Melania learned to model clothes when she was 5-years-old. It was revealed that she, along with the other worker's children in the factory, always participated in fashion shows in the city.
A decade later, Melania Trump, reportedly, moved on to doing commercials. But, it was at the same age when she was discovered by a Slovenian photographer, which seemingly paved the way for her modeling career to start.
Between her studies and career as a model, she, reportedly, chose her calling in the modeling industry. As a result, she dropped out of her course in design and architecture, and moved to Milan, where she launched her "international modeling career."
As per Cheat Sheet, it was only after a few years when she made a name for herself. When she was 22-years-old, she joined a competition for a Slovenian magazine, Jana called "Look of The Year." Although she was only a runner-up at the end of the competition, her network expanded which allowed her to work with several photographers and models in the international scene.
After four years of being successful in the field, Melania Trump moved to New York in 1996. Two years later, she, reportedly, met Donald Trump and likely started their relationship leading to their marriage in 2005.
Despite the 24-year age gap, the couple has been together since then. They also immediately had a son, Barron Trump, who is now the youngest Trump in the family.
Amid all the spotlight given to her, especially in recent years since she is now the official First Lady of the United States, sources and experts emphasized how much Melania has lived a low-profile and private life. She was even reported to limit her circle of friends to preserve her privacy.
