Donald and Melania Trump: A timeline of their relationship
President-elect Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump have had a long-standing partnership, with Melania largely staying out of the public eye during his political campaigns. Trump, who was officially named the Republican nominee for the 2024 election, has expressed that he prefers to keep Melania away from the media, calling her a “private person” and adding that the campaign trail is “so nasty and so mean.”
The couple first met in 1998 at a New York City event, and by 1999, Trump’s second divorce was finalized, following his split from Marla Maples. Trump’s previous marriage to Ivana lasted 15 years, and they had three children together. Despite a brief breakup with Melania in 2000 when Trump sought the Reform Party nomination, the couple reconciled by February of that year.
In 2004, Donald Trump proposed to Melania, marking the next chapter in their relationship.
