Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, and Melania Trump, former First Lady, have long captured the attention of the media, not only for their high-profile lives but also for their significant age difference.
With a 24-year gap between them, their relationship has sparked curiosity, debate, and fascination around the world. Despite the attention, Melania has rarely publicly discussed the age difference.
However, her remarks in her memoir and in interviews shed light on how the couple’s relationship began and why the gap never posed an obstacle to their connection.
Meeting for the First Time: A Night at the Kit Kat Club
The story of Donald and Melania’s first meeting dates back to 1998, at a party hosted at the Kit Kat Club in New York City.
Melania, a Slovenian model in her late twenties, was navigating her modeling career while Donald, then a seasoned businessman and real estate mogul, was already a prominent figure in the city’s social scene. At the time, Melania was 28 years old, and Donald Trump was 52, establishing the now-famous 24-year age gap.
