Melania Trump is a name known world-wide. Being married to the Former President of the United States of America and business mogul Donald Trump, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the public is interested in her private life. She, however, tends to stay out of the spotlight, which is also true for her son Baron and another person very close to the former First Lady, her older sister Ines Knauss.
Growing up, the two sisters shared a very strong bond, and today, that hasn’t changed even a bit.
The sisters were born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, but grew up in the small railway town of Sevnica. Their father, Viktor, who was a car mechanic and chauffeur, and their mother, Amalija, who worked as a pattern-maker at a clothing factory, were able to provide a good life for Melania and Ines.
“I grew up with a beautiful family and had a wonderful childhood,” Melania Trumpsaid. “My mother and father taught us the importance of education, hard work and family.”
Viktor and Amalija took their daughters on vacations in France, Italy, and Germany. Today, they live in the States but they still own their home in Slovenia which they visit several times a year.
The two sisters were always dressed impeccably as their mom spent hours designing and making clothes for them. Later on, Melania designed the clothes her mother sewed for her herself.
She was very pretty,” Tomšič, who has run a local hospital to which Melania donated $25,000 after marrying Donald Trump, told GQ in 2016. “She was always very fancy.”
At the age of 16, Melania was scouted by fashion photographer Stane Jerko who spotted her leaning on a fence while leaving a fashion show at the Festival Hall.
