Melania had grown up in a modest home in the town of Sevnica and found her passion for modeling very early. And as she grew up, she also found love for the first time in Jure Zorcic.

They were a couple in the 1990s, and in an interview with ABC News, he spilled some quite fascinating details on their early romance.

Zorcic said he and Melania “met each other like in a movie.” He was on a motorbike, and Melania was walking, and he remembered how he was “impressed by her beauty” and her style from the moment he first saw her.

“She was very nicely dressed, and her behavior was classy,” Jure said about Melania. “She was tall, had long hair across her face – I could hardly see her eyes – such style!”
