Melania Trump revealed her thoughts on her and Donald Trump's age gap, after admitting what she 'really liked' about him when they met for the first time.
It's no secret that Donald Trump has been married quite a few times - three to be exact.
And it turns out that he was actually on a date with another woman, on the day he met his now-wife, Melania.
The president ended up ditching his date when he came across the model, who initially refused to give him her number.

But after much persuasion, which I'm sure Trump was excellent at, Melania took his number, promising to give him a call.
In her recent memoir, Melania, the First Lady revealed what she thought about the rather large age gap between the two, and what she first thought of her future husband.
She wrote: "He was a bit older than me, but I, at the age of twenty-eight, felt an instant connection with him."

At the time of their first meeting, Donald was 52, and Melania was 28.
And it seems there really was love in the air, as the couple have now been married for over 20 years.
She added: "He projected a sense of authenticity. He had a zest for life that was infectious.
"He was successful and hardworking, but also so down to earth and real. I really liked that about him."

While reflecting on the night they met, Melania admitted that felt 'giddy' when she arrived home - noting that his 'work ethic and success were admirable'.
The mum-of-one said: "After returning home, I was giddy with joy. It’s truly a rare feeling to instantly connect with someone on such a deep level.
"I was immediately at ease in Donald’s company, as if our souls had known each other for a long time. Our chemistry was undeniable, and our connection felt natural."

She also noted experiencing a new side to the entrepreneur, after the birth of their son, Barron.
Melania wrote: "Watching Donald interact with Barron was heartwarming as well.
"His connection with his son showcased a different side of him that I had not seen before.
"The relationship was filled with love and admiration and it was truly touching to witness."

Melania is now 54, and her husband, currently serving his second term as president of the US, is 78.
