Melania: 15 things you didn't know about Mrs Donald Trump
From nude photo shoots and a creepy phone call to a $100,000 wedding dress and a secret half-brother

She is the only first lady to have posed nude
Three years before she met Donald Trump, Melania posed nude alongside for a French men's monthly magazine. The "bombshell" photo set, obtained by the New York Post, shows her lying naked in a bed alongside Scandinavian model Emma Eriksson.
Photographer Jarl Ale de Basseville, who took the pictures, says the images are "beauty and not porn", adding: "I always loved women together because I have been with a lot of women who desired the menage a trois."
