Early life, family, and education
Melanija Knavs was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Viktor Knavs (born March 24, 1944), a girl's father, was from Rade, and she operated car and motorcycle dealerships for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer. Amalija (née Ulnik) (born July 9, 1945) was a patternmaker at the children's clothing company Jutranjka in Sevnica and worked as a patternmaker. Melanija and other children of workers at the factory attended fashion shows that showcased children's clothing as a child. She has an older sister, Ines, who is an artist and her "longtime confidant," and an older half-brother who she has never met—whom she claims she never knew—from her father's previous marriage.
Knavs grew up in a modest apartment in a housing block in Sevnica, Lower Sava Valley. Her father was a member of the League of Communists of Slovenia, which advocated a state atheism programme. However, as was normal, he had his children secretly baptized as Catholic. Melania carried her rosary and begged the Pope to bless it when the Trumps visited Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2017.
When Knavs was a child, she and her family moved to a two-story house in Sevnica. She grew up in a high-rise apartment in Ljubljana as a high-school student. She attended the Secondary School of Design and Photography in the city and spent a year at the University of Ljubljana studying architecture and interior design.
Personal life
When the president and first lady visited Vatican City in May 2017, she identified as Catholic. She was the first Catholic first lady of the United States after President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline. When she visited the Vatican, Pope Francis blessed her rosary beads and planted flowers at the feet of a statue of Mary at the Vatican's children's hospital.
In order to fix a benign kidney disease, she underwent embolization, which is a minimally invasive procedure that specifically blocks a blood vessel. The procedure was reported as safe and without complications.
President Trump declared that both he and Melania had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on October 2, 2020, and that quarantine would be initiated immediately. She said she was having "mild signs" later that day but that "overall feeling good" was the case.
Career
When she posed for Slovenian fashion photographer Stane Jerko, she began modeling at five years old and began doing commercial work at sixteen. She adapted the Slovene version of her last name "Knavs" to the German version "Knauss" when she first began modeling as a model. Knauss, a child in Milan, Italy, has joined a modelling company. She was named runner-up in the Jana Magazine's "Look of the Year" competition in 1992, which promised to its top three contestants an international modeling contract. Knauss modeled for fashion houses in Paris and Milan, where she first met Metropolitan Models co-owner Paolo Zampolli, a friend of her future husband Donald Trump, who was on a scouting trip in Europe in 1995. Zampolli urged her to visit the United States, where he said he would like to represent her. In 1996, Knauss moved to Manhattan. In Zeckendorf Towers in Union Square, he arranged for her to share an apartment with photographer Matthew Atanian.
In a sexually explicit photo shoot for the January 1996 issue of Max, a now defunct French men's magazine, with Emma Eriksson, another female model. She also performed nude for the UK version of GQ magazine in January 2000, noting on the front naked save for diamond necklaces, reclining on fur, aboard Trump's custom-fitted Boeing 727. "Melania was one of the most popular models in 2016," Donald Trump said, and she shot several photo shoots, including for newspapers and major magazines. [The Max photo] was taken for a European magazine before I learned Melania was present in a German newspaper before. Images like this one are extremely popular and common in Europe."
Melania Timepieces and Jewelry, Melania's jewelry line, was launched in 2010 on QVC. Melania Marks Skin Care Collection was also available in high-end department stores. According to a financial report from 2016, her companies earned between US$15,000 and US$50,000 in royalties this year. The two jewelry and skincare companies under license had ended their relationship with her in 2017. In her official White House biography, her businesses and products were listed on the inauguration day, but they were quickly deleted. According to a White House spokesperson, her companies are no longer operational, and "the First Lady has no intention of using her position for profit and will not do so."
In 2021, she started a non-fungible token project.
