Melania and Donald Trump seen in rare, raw footage at 1999 event years before marriage

Rare raw footage showed Donald Trump and Melania Trump at an event in 1999.

Then known by her maiden name, Melania Knavs, the first lady issued a statement from the White House in 2026 indicating that she met her future husband at a New York City party in 1998. The statement was used to "denounce false smears" about ties between the Trumps and Jeffrey Epstein.

The couple later married in 2005 during a wedding ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida.
