Donald Trump First Met Melania When He Was Still Married To Marla Maples

Before you get too excited, things weren’t anywhere near as dramatic between Marla Maples and Melania Trump. Yes, Donald Trump met Melania while still married to Maples, but by that point, they were only together in the legal sense, as they were still hammering out the details of their divorce. Either way, Donald was ready to move on, and Melania came into his life at the perfect time. 

Donald famously met Melania at the now-defunct New York City KitKat club, and apparently, it was love at first sight, per Vanity Fair. Donald was actually supposed to meet someone else that night, but he couldn’t take his eyes off Melania. “There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania,” Donald explained during a 2005 interview with Larry King. “I said, ‘Forget about her. Who is the one on the left? And it was Melania.” Melania and Donald hit it off that night, but the future first lady was well aware that Donald was still very much married (and on a date), and she wanted to take things slow. 

During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Melania claimed that she wouldn’t give Donald her number that night. Instead, she wanted his. Melania thought she’d better understand his intentions based on the type of number he gave her — business, home, etc. Donald, in turn, gave her every number he had. Melania called one of them a few days later, and the rest is history.
