If Donald Trump is re-elected President in 2020, he will give his second inauguration
speech on January 20th and celebrate his wedding anniversary with Melania Trump two days later
on January 22nd.
As far as imaginary weeks go, that's not too shabby.
Even in the public eye, Melania remains a reluctant First Lady, and even less is known
about her personal life before she became a Trump.
But was there a man before Donald?
Well, one man named Jure Zorcic claims he dated the former fashion model when she was
21 and still living in Slovenia.
In 2016, Zorcic spoke to ABC News about his relationship with the future First Lady.
"We met each other like in a movie, it was fascinating how we met."
Zorcic even remembers the exact moment the two met.
"I have one moment, wow who is this girl, she’s so beautiful, I must turn back.
I must follow her."
Zorcic claims he dated the future Melania Trump for several months and spent the summer
of their romance mostly hanging out with friends.
The relationship reportedly ended when Melania left her home country to pursue her career
as a fashion model in Paris, Milan, and eventually New York City - which is where she met Trump.
In a way, Zorcic's story sounds like something out of a fairy tale -and there's a chance
that might actually be the case.
Hope Hicks, a former spokesperson for Donald Trump, told The Daily Mail that Zorcic's story
about Melania Trump's alleged former flame was pure "fiction."
She added:
"This is yet another person trying to use Mrs Trump's name for publicity.
The facts are not accurate."
On the other hand, Donald Trump's own romantic exploits, including his multiple marriages
and rumored affairs, have been tabloid fodder for decades.
In 1977, he married Ivana Trump, with whom he shares three children - Ivanka, Eric, and
Don, Jr.
Even they divorced in 1992, Ivana told Jim Axelrod at CBS Sunday Morning in 2017 that
she and her ex-husband still talk about once a week.
According to the former model, Trump asked her advice on using Twitter.
She encouraged him to embrace the platform, telling him that the media would "twist every
single word" he said if he didn't find a way to communicate directly with the public.
The fact Ivana and Trump still speak regularly might seem particularly impressive considering
their marriage ended dramatically due to Trump's affair with Marla Maples, who is the mother
of Donald Trump's fourth child, Tiffany Trump.
The couple married in 1993 and divorced six years later.
Despite the circumstances of their early relationship, Maples explained on the Journeys of Faith
With Paula Faris podcast that she never considered herself "a mistress" to Trump.
She said:
"It was two people that came together that truly loved each other in a period of time.
I wanted him to see how loved he could be for his soul, not for his money."
Of course, Donald Trump didn't stay single for long.
He met Melania Trump in 1998 and the couple married in 2005.
Of course, it's now common knowledge that adult film star Stormy Daniels maintains she
began an affair with the real estate mogul the very next year.
A month before the 2016 general election, The Wall Street Journal reported that a lawyer
for Trump "arranged a $130,000 payment" to Daniels in exchange for her silence about
the affair.
Daniels went on to sue Trump in an effort to be released from her non-disclosure agreement,
but The New York Times reports that the suit was dismissed by a judge in 2019.
In February 2018, The New Yorker published an investigative report into Donald Trump's
alleged 2006 affair with former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal that started when Barron Trump,
Donald and Melania's only child, was just a few months old.
The report found that American Media, a publisher that owns the National Enquirer and has close
ties to Trump, bought the exclusive rights to McDougal's story, and killed it from being
made public.
But as far as Melania Trump's opinion is concerned, none of these affairs are much of a big deal.
In 2018, she sat down with ABC News to discuss the controversies surrounding her husband's
love life.
"It is not a concern or focus of mine.
I’m a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about."
