Two days after being inaugurated back into the Oval Office in a historical comeback, President Donald J. Trump is celebrating another major milestone: his and First Lady Melania Trump’s 20th wedding anniversary.
From the Palm Beach Post: The numerical date 1/22/25 is a unique one for Donald and Melania Trump: On Jan. 22, 2025, the president and first lady celebrate a milestone anniversary, 20 years of marriage. This comes two days after the Trumps wrapped up Inauguration Day festivities.
Twenty years ago, Donald Trump and then-fiancée Melania Knauss, her professional modeling name, were busy with their lavish nuptials in Palm Beach, Florida − the wedding at Bethesda-By-the-Sea Episcopal Church, followed by a wedding reception in the “new” Donald J. Trump Ballroom at his private club.
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, according to her bio on the White House Historical Association’s website.
As Melania Knauss, she began her modeling career at age 16 and moved to New York in 1996. The couple met in 1998 at a New York fashion party, became engaged in 2004 and married in 2005.
Trump has posted multiple photos on his Truth Social account Wednesday morning, wishing the First Lady a Happy Anniversary, as well as sharing photos others have posted.
One photo is from their wedding. Trump wrote, “Happy 20th Anniversary to Melania!”

Melania Trump wore a vintage Harry Winston diamond brooch from 1955 as a choker with her gown at the 2025 inaugural ball. The brooch’s design reflected the dress’s concept of a ribbon encircling a bouquet of flowers, adding a historical element to her contemporary outfit. pic.twitter.com/Q3Jr1Z8q8i
