Melania Trump, born Melanija Knavs on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, is the wife of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Raised in a modest household, she pursued a career in modeling at a young age. She worked in Milan and Paris before moving to New York City in 1996, where she achieved significant success as a fashion model. Melania became a U.S. citizen in 2006, a year after marrying Donald Trump. They have one child together, Barron Trump, born in 2006.

During Donald Trump's presidency from 2017 to 2021, Melania served as the first lady of the United States. She became only the second first lady born outside the U.S., following Louisa Adams, the wife of John Quincy Adams. Melania focused her efforts on initiatives centered around children’s well-being and cyberbullying prevention, which she encapsulated in her "Be Best" campaign. This initiative aimed to promote healthy living, encourage positive social behavior, and combat online bullying, especially among young people.

Melania Trump’s role as first lady was marked by several high-profile events, including her appearance at state functions, visits to foreign countries, and hosting events at the White House. She was involved in holiday celebrations at the White House, particularly the annual Christmas decorations, which often garnered media attention. Additionally, she made visits to hospitals, schools, and military bases during her tenure.

Prior to her role in the White House, Melania was actively involved in her own business ventures, including a jewelry line sold on QVC. She also had her own line of skincare products. After Donald Trump left office in January 2021, Melania and her family relocated to their residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where she remains relatively private.
