Melania Trump opened up about meeting Trump at a NYC nightclub in 1998

The First Lady once revealed the two things that made her attracted to Donald Trump when they first met back in 1998.

Writing in her memoir published last October, titled Melania: A Memoir, Melania opened up about her relationship with the Republican president-elect.

Melania recalled the moment she first met Trump in a New York City nightclub.

The fateful encounter took place at the Kit Kat Klub in New York City during Fashion Week.

At the time, Trump was newly separated from his second wife, Marla Maples, while Slovenian-born model Melania had recently moved to the States to pursue her career.

Trump and his ‘attractive blonde’ date came to greet Melania at a table in the VIP section and, in spite of being on a date with another woman, he asked his future wife for her number.

She, however, declined and instead asked him to give his number to her.

Melania ended up calling him some days after their first meet and eventually the pair went on their first date at his Seven Springs property in Bedford, New York.

Opening up on the interaction, Melania, 54, outlined the two attributes of the 78-year-old she was most ‘captivated’ by

“From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature,” she wrote in the memoir.

Melania previously opened up about the meeting in an interview in 2016 with Harper’s Bazaar, recalling: “He wanted my number, but he was with a date, so of course I didn’t give it to him.”

Clearly unimpressed with the move, she then reportedly told him: “I am not giving you my number; you give me yours, and I will call you.

“I wanted to see if it was a business number. What if it’s business?”

Trump responded by offering Melania all his numbers which caught her attention, and she was soon struck by his alleged ‘vitality’ and ‘energy’.

The couple continued to date and, after several years together, Trump proposed at the 2004 Met Gala.

They then tied the knot the following year at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate before welcoming their first son together, Barron, in 2006.

Melania has previously made a bold statement ahead of Trump’s return to power.

She told FOX News: “Maybe some people see me as just a wife of the President, but I’m standing on my own two feet, independent, I have my own thoughts, I have my own ‘yes’ and ‘no.’”
