Long before she became First Lady, Melania Trump was a young woman from the small Slovenian town of Sevnica, chasing a modeling career. She would later achieve success in the United States, meet Donald Trump, and step onto the global stage. Yet, according to a former boyfriend from her hometown, her path once looked very different.
In the 1990s, Melania left Slovenia as a teenager, determined to enter the fashion world. She grew up in modest circumstances, but her interest in modeling and style appeared early. During this time, she experienced her first serious relationship with a young man named Jure Zorcic.
