Melania Trump insists she’s her own person, more than window dressing in her husband Donald Trump’s run for the White House.
That’s one thing the Slovenian-born former model has made clear, even as she’s stayed largely in the background as her husband’s No. 1 fan ahead of the Republican National Convention where Trump is poised to accept the party’s nomination for president.
So who is she? According to her official biography on the Republican National Committee’s website, Mrs. Trump is an “aqua-eyed beauty” with “natural elegance” who has “a passion for the arts, architecture, design, fashion and beauty.”
But most Americans probably know her better as Trump’s third wife who is 24 years his junior and who once posed pregnant in a gold bikini on the steps of her husband’s jet.
“I have my own mind,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published in January. “I am my own person, and I think my husband likes that about me.”
