Last Slovenian romance

Another name tied to Melania’s past is Jure Zorcic, who met the now First Lady in 1991. According to Zorcic, he was riding his motorcycle when he spotted her walking and turned around to speak to her. “I had a moment and thought, ‘Wow, who is this girl? She is so beautiful,’” he recalled to ABC News.

“We met each other like in a movie,” said Zorcic. “I was on my motorbike, and she has been walking down a street. As I passed by her, I had a moment and thought, ‘Wow, who is this girl? She is so beautiful, I must turn back and follow her.’”

After sharing a coffee and a chat, Zorcic explained that the two dated for several months and vacationed with friends along the Croatian coast.

Years later, she left Slovenia to model in Milan and Paris.
