 <\/p>\n

Melania Trump once opened up about the night she first met the man who would end up becoming her husband, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

That fateful encounter took place at the Kit Kat Klub in New York City during Fashion Week back in 1998.<\/p>\n

At the time,\u00a0Trump<\/a>, 78, was newly separated from his second wife, Marla Maples, while Slovenian-born model\u00a0Melania<\/a>, 55, had recently moved to the\u00a0States<\/a>\u00a0to pursue her career.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a 2016 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the First Lady\u00a0recalled<\/a>\u00a0that Trump and his date had come to greet Melania at a table in the VIP section and, despite being on a date with another woman, he asked her for her number.<\/p>\n

“He wanted my number, but he was with a date, so of course\u00a0I didn\u2019t give it<\/a>\u00a0to him,” she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Clearly unimpressed with the move, she then reportedly told him: “I am not giving you my number; you give me yours, and I will call you.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to see if it was a business number. What if it\u2019s business?”<\/p>\n

Melania also\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0GQ that she also ‘didn\u2019t know much’ about Trump, adding: “I had my life, I had my world. I didn\u2019t follow Donald Trump and what kind of life he had.”<\/p>\n

Trump responded by offering Melania all his numbers which caught her attention, and she was soon struck by his ‘vitality’ and ‘energy’.<\/p>\n

She also opened up about the first meeting in her\u00a0memoir<\/a>\u00a0published last October, titled\u00a0Melania: A Memoir.<\/em><\/p>\n

Echoing her sentiments from the Harper’s Bazaar interview, Melania explained that she declined Trump’s initial number offer and instead asked him to give her his number.<\/p>\n

The model ended up calling him a few days after their first meet and eventually the pair went on their first date at his Seven Springs property in Bedford, New York.<\/p>\n

She outlined the\u00a0two attributes<\/a>\u00a0of the Republican she was most ‘captivated’ by at the time.<\/p>\n

“From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature,” the mum-of-one wrote in the memoir.<\/p>\n

The pair continued to date and, after several years together, Trump proposed at the 2004\u00a0Met Gala<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They then tied the knot the following year at Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate before welcoming their first son together, Barron, in 2006.<\/p>\n

Before Melania, Trump was married to late Ivana Trump – whose body is\u00a0buried in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf course<\/a>\u00a0– between 1997 to 1990 and the pair had three children; Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.<\/p>\n

He then married Marla Maples in 1993 before calling it quits in 1999. The pair share one daughter together, Tiffany Trump.<\/p>\n
