In an interview with ABC News, Melania's ex-boyfriend Jure Zorcic said that she had early dreams of moving to Europe instead of America.

Remembering Melania as a “very fashionable”, he said, “She wanted to live abroad, in Italy, France, a life of fashion,” adding that she never mentioned about moving to the US. “I think it was very far from our minds at that time.”

A relationship between Zorcic and Melania lasted from 1991 to 1996. While opening about how they both met, he said, “We met each other like in a movie.” According to him, he was on a motorbike, while Melania was walking. “I was impressed by her beauty from the very first moment. She was very nicely dressed, and her behavior was classy. She was tall, had long hair across her face - I could hardly see her eyes - such style!”.

According to reports, Melania's wedding dress, which was created by John Galliano for Christian Dior, cost $100,000. The Clintons, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel, and Tony Bennett were among the prominent people that attended the wedding.
