Trump's Third Wife: Melania Knauss

Many believe that Trump's third wife, Melania, is nothing more than an extension of Donald's ego; however, all one has to do is listen to an interview with Mrs. Melania Trump with an open mind to see that she is articulate, intelligent and worldly and has many of the traits that Trump seems to like in a wife. Melania was born in Slovenia as Melanija Knavs, and is a former model acknowledged these days for having more than her fair share of good plastic surgery.

Journalists have also speculated that Donald was probably still married to Marla when he began seeing Melania, as it is known that they met and began dating in the late 1990s. As soon as he divorced Marla, Donald began promoting Melania's modeling career and taking her on television shows with him, which resulted in many modeling offers for her. The couple married in 2005, and the wedding received extravagant press coverage as the event seemed to be attempting to recapture the glory and expense of Donald Trump's first marriage to Ivana.

Melania has some formal education but does not seem very interested in applying her talents, unlike Ivana. She and Donald have one son together, and this seems to have kept her occupied for most of her time. Melania's early life is somewhat of a mystery, and early photos of her were almost impossible to find until Donald became President , but surgeons say she has had cheek implants and at least two nose jobs. She looks stunning these days and is aging gracefully.

Melania Before and After Her Final Nose Job

For their wedding cake, Trump got a five foot tall, seven-tier Orange Grand Mariner cake. It weighed 200 pounds and it was covered in 3000 roses made of icing and was one of the most expensive ever made, costing at least $50,000.

Melania Trump wore a Christian Dior dress designed by John Galliano which cost approximately around $100,000 in her wedding. The fabric used to make that dress was 300 ft. of white duchesse satin which was covered with 16 ft. oceanic veil. It took 550 man hour to complete all the embroidery.

The wedding ring of Melania Trump is worth $3 million which is 12 karat diamond with emerald- cut fine diamond set in Platinum. The ring is so good that it’s known as the “The Lord of the Rings”. It was designed by the London-based jeweler Lawrence Graff; his rings are famous for being simple and impeccably fine.

Lucky Trump had to pay only $1.5 million for that ring due to the deal he made; after all he is a businessman and deal-maker. The deal was that Graff’s would get huge promotion from Trump’s show “The Apprentice”. So, the ring was 50% discount for Mr. Trump than its retail price.

First Lady Melania Trump was married to President Donald Trump on January 22, 2005, at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Church in Palm Beach Florida which is an Episcopal Church. At the time of marriage, Melania was 35 years old, and Donald was 59. They dated for seven years long before getting married. In 2006 the couple was blessed with son Barron William Trump.

Melania is the second foreign-born First Lady of the United States, following Louisa Adams in 1825.

Lessons learned from his relationships

Donald tries to keep his family life somewhat private. Although after his affair with Marla Maples, his reputation became notorious and somewhat negative, it is obvious to those who truly pay attention to Donald that he is old fashioned at heart and regretful of the whole Marla Maples fiasco in his life. No matter how smart, savvy, and moral one is, it is not easy to keep one's head when fame and success reach mammoth proportions. He is human and therefore not perfect, but he does learn from past mistakes. The fact that there have been no women in his life since marrying Melania is proof of that. There are always scores of beautiful women offering him all he could ask for, but he has remained faithful. Had there been any slip ups it would certainly have it the press.
