Melania Trump’s Quiet Past: The Untold Stories Behind the First Lady’s Early Life and Loves

Another figure from her pre-Trump years is Jure Zorcic, a man who met Melania in 1991 while riding his motorcycle through Ljubljana. “I saw her walking down the street and thought, ‘Who is this girl? She’s so beautiful,’” Zorcic told ABC News.

The two began seeing each other, often spending time with friends on the Croatian coast. Their connection ended when Melania left Slovenia to pursue her modeling career abroad — first in Milan, then in Paris.
