Before marrying Donald Trump, Melania Trump, a former European model, was born in Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia. She became a U.S. citizen in 2006 and the first naturalized First Lady in 2017.
Numerous rumors have circulated about Melania Trump during her time in the White House. These rumors have been widely discussed in tabloids and online.
One claim suggested a photo depicted Melania's grandmother as a Soviet soldier. This was proven false; the image was actually actress Janet Leigh in the film "Jet Pilot."
Another rumor falsely accused Melania of plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech. This accusation surfaced after similarities were noted between Melania's Republican National Convention speech and Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech.
Finally, a bizarre claim emerged that President Trump used a body double for Melania. This rumor was debunked by comparing the altered image to the original CNN broadcast.
