Contrary to her expectation, he gave her all his numbers. After some months of dating, Melania ended their relationship due to trust issues. However, six months later, they were back again. In 1999, their relationship became public knowledge as Trump boasted about their love life and Melania’s assets in The Howard Stern Show.
