During New York Fashion Week, she crossed paths with Donald Trump at a party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald was immediately interested, but there was one problem: he had arrived with another woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melania later explained that when he asked for her phone number, she refused because he was on a date. Instead, she asked him to give her his number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She didn&#8217;t want to be just another woman he could call whenever he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald reportedly gave her several contact numbers, and Melania eventually decided to reach out. Their relationship developed, although they briefly separated in 2000 before reconciling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2005, they married in a lavish Florida ceremony attended by celebrities and prominent guests. A year later, they welcomed their son, Barron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Donald became president in 2017, Melania stepped into the role of First Lady, while continuing to keep much of her private life away from public attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their relationship has often attracted public curiosity, but its beginning remains memorable for one simple reason: Melania didn&#8217;t give Donald her number that night. She made him give her his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman who once considered him completely out of the question eventually became his wife and the First Lady of the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melania Trump Refused to Give Donald Trump Her Phone Number When They First Met\u2014And Her Reason Was Unexpected In 1998, Melania was pursuing a modeling career in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11155"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11157,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11155\/revisions\/11157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
