Melania Trump is best known for her role as the First Lady of the United States, but it was her successful career as a model that first put her on the path to becoming a household name. In fact, her work in fashion was how she met her husband, President Donald Trump, in the first place.
In this episode of I Never Knew That, editor Catherine traces Melania's modeling career ahead of the release of her self-titled 2026 documentary, which arrives on Amazon Prime Video on January 30.
