Long before she became the First Lady, Melania Trump was just a young woman from a small town in Slovenia chasing her modeling dreams. She eventually made it big in the U.S., met Donald Trump, and the rest is history. But according to her ex-boyfriend from back home, her path could have looked a whole lot different.<\/p>\n

In the \u201890s, a teenage Melania left Slovenia behind and headed to New York City. She grew up in modest surroundings in Sevnica, where she discovered her love for fashion and modeling early on. That\u2019s also where she had her first serious romance\u2014with a guy named Jure Zorcic.<\/p>\n

Jure recently opened up to ABC News about their time together, and his stories paint a pretty romantic picture. He says they met like something out of a rom-com: He was zooming by on his motorbike, spotted her walking, and was instantly smitten. \u201cI was blown away by how beautiful she was,\u201d he remembered. \u201cShe dressed so elegantly, carried herself with real class. Tall, with this long hair half-covering her face\u2014you could barely see her eyes. Total style icon!\u201d<\/p>\n

Her ex says America was never part of the plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

They hit it off right away, grabbing coffee and chatting. Jure insists Melania wasn\u2019t your average Slovenian girl\u2014she had big ambitions. But here\u2019s the kicker: He claims she had zero interest in moving to the States back then. \u201cShe dreamed of living abroad, sure, but in Europe\u2014like Italy or France, immersed in the fashion world,\u201d he said. The idea of America? \u201cThat was nowhere on our radar.\u201d<\/p>\n

She did work in Paris and Milan first, building her portfolio. When she finally told Jure about the New York gig, he was caught off guard. \u201cShe said it was for a hair care campaign\u2014that\u2019s what took her there,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

They crossed paths again in 2000, but things felt different. Jure was shocked when she switched to English mid-conversation instead of their native Slovenian. \u201cI teased her, \u2018Have you forgotten you\u2019re Slovenian?\u2019\u201d he laughed. And get this: \u201cNo one back then could\u2019ve imagined she\u2019d end up living the high life on Fifth Avenue in Trump Tower\u2014not even her!\u201d<\/p>\n
