Since stepping back into the role of First Lady after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Melania Trump has remained in the public eye. From her diet and fitness routine to her relationships with friends and family, nearly every part of her life is under constant scrutiny.

One question that’s drawn particular curiosity: Does Melania have someone she trusts completely—someone she can turn to without judgment? The answer is yes, and it’s not a celebrity or public figure. It’s her older sister, Ines Knauss.

Ines lives a quiet life in Slovenia, far from the media spotlight. She’s married to a businessman, has children, and has always preferred privacy, which is why little is known about her. Despite rarely being seen together in public, Melania and Ines are extremely close.

Melania considers Ines her closest confidante, relying on her for both personal and professional advice—including guidance on fashion and parenting her son, Barron. The sisters stay in regular contact, whether through visits or long-distance calls, maintaining a deep bond built on trust, love, and unwavering support.
