5. Meeting Trump

The brunette beauty met her husband Donald Trump back in 1998 at a party during fashion week. He was 52 and she was 28. He had a date with him that night, but he asked for Melania’s number anyway, but she refused to give it and instead asked him for his. “If I give him my number, I’m just one of the women he calls,” she told GQ. “I wanted to see what his intention is. It tells you a lot from the man what kind of number he gives you. He gave me all of his numbers.” She waited a week before calling him.

3. Aging Gracefully

The former model denies having had any plastic surgery or Botox. “A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything. I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body,” she told GQ, “I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.”
