About Melania Trump

She changed the spelling of her name to Melania Knauss and traveled to Paris and Milan to seek modeling work before meeting Paolo Zampolli, who hired her and sponsored her immigration to the United States in 1996. She worked as a model in Manhattan, where she began dating Donald Trump shortly after Zampolli introduced them in 1998, while Trump was married to Marla Maples. Trump worked to get Knauss more modeling jobs, and she supported him during his 2000 presidential campaign. They married in 2005, and the following year had a son, Barron Trump. Knauss started her own jewelry brand, Melania, in 2009. After encouraging her husband to run for president in the 2016 presidential election, Melania Trump made only rare campaign appearances, instead helping Donald with strategy. She received major press coverage during the campaign when erotic photos from her modeling years were republished, and again when a speech she gave at the 2016 Republican National Convention was found to be plagiarized from a similar speech by Michelle Obama. In the month leading up to the election, she defended her husband following the release of the Access Hollywood tape that mired his campaign in scandal.
