In December, numerous American media wondered why Melania Trump was absent from some appointments. Her husband, former US President Donald Trump, explained a little later: his mother-in-law was sick and his wife supported her in this difficult time.
However, Melania Trump’s mother’s health did not improve. Now it is known: Amalija Knavs has died at the age of 78. Her daughter confirms the death on X – and dedicates moving words to her.
It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija.
Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth and dignity. She was completely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson and son-in-law. We will miss her further…

Melania Trump took care of her mother
In recent weeks, Melania Trump sat at her mother’s bedside watching, but the 78-year-old lost the fight for her life. «Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always presented herself with grace, warmth and dignity. She was devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson and son-in-law. We will miss her dearly and will honor and love her legacy,” Melania Trump mourned online. There is no information yet about the cause of death.
Melania Trump supported her parents’ immigration to the United States. To become American citizens, Amalija and Viktor took the oath of office in 2018 – during the presidency of their son-in-law Donald Trump. The Slovenian immigrant, a former car dealer and textile factory worker, had previously lived in the US as permanent residents. Their lawyer said at the time that they applied for citizenship themselves and received no special treatment.
Melania Trump, born Melanija, spent her childhood in Sevnica, Slovenia, a rural industrial town. When she attended high school in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, she changed her name to Melania Knauss. She also started modeling at that time. In 1996 she finally went to New York and two years later met her future husband Donald Trump. The two married in 2005.
