Over the years, Melania Trump and her older sister, Ines Knauss, have maintained a close and supportive relationship. As Melania Trump returned to the public eye during Donald Trump’s second term as President of the United States, interest in her private life has grown once again.
The media continues to follow everything from her style and health habits to her family connections. One aspect that has drawn particular curiosity is whether Melania has someone she fully trusts and confides in.
According to multiple reports, she does—and that person is her sister, Ines Knauss. Ines, who was born in Slovenia like Melania, prefers to live a private life out of the public spotlight.
She has stayed mostly behind the scenes, and not much is publicly known about her personal or professional life. While some reports claim she lives in Slovenia, others have documented that she spent years living in New York City, close to Melania.
Despite not appearing in public together often, Melania and Ines are believed to share a strong bond. Several sources have described Ines as one of the few people Melania completely trusts.
They are said to keep in regular contact, and Melania has reportedly sought her sister’s advice on topics such as fashion and parenting, especially in raising her son, Barron. Although Ines avoids media attention, she continues to support her sister in both personal and private ways.
