Throughout her time in the public eye, Melania Trump has largely maintained privacy around her personal life. While her role as First Lady and her recent appearances alongside former President Donald Trump have drawn renewed media focus, one steady and quietly influential presence in her life remains her close bond with her sister, Ines Knauss.
Ines, Melania’s slightly older sister, has deliberately kept a low profile. She values her privacy, leads a quiet family life, and seldom appears in the media. Despite their different lifestyles, the sisters share a close and meaningful bond.
People who know Melania well say that Ines has been one of her most trusted close friends for many years. Their relationship goes beyond just family — Ines is someone Melania often relies on for help, advice, and encouragement, both in her private life and during public events. Whether it’s talking about parenting decisions or getting ready for official appearances, Melania appreciates her sister’s viewpoint.
