Does she have a best friend with whom she can confide without fear? She does, it turns out. She has likely been mentioned in the media before, and you are all probably aware of her by now. She isn’t an actress, singer, or other public figure, though. Ines Knauss, Melania’s sister who resides in Slovenia, is actually her best friend. Ines is older than Melania and would rather live a private life out of the spotlight. As a result, not much is known about her or her family.
