It turns out that First Lady Melania Trump has an intimately close confidante.

She is 48, an artist, and lives close by in New York.

Any guesses who she is?

Well her name is Ines Knauss and she is actually Melania’s big sister. Ines lives within two blocks of Melania in, of course, a Trump building.

The First Lady has broken with tradition of her position (at great expense to taxpayers) by snubbing the opportunity of living in the White House.

Melania’s sister has avoided a lot of attention from the press. She is  the President’s sister-in-law and yet very few photos of her have appeared in the tabloids. Knauss was Melania’s maid of honor at their wedding and yet has been pretty much left alone.

The sisters seem to love each other very much. They have similar stories. Both women left Slovenia for the United States in the 1990s. This move was to chase careers. Melania pursued modeling while Ines attempted to be a fashion designer. Their mother had been a fashion designer for children. Their father was a car dealer. Melania found out later that her father had a son from a previous relationship, so they also have an older half-brother.

It seems the sisters are very close, supportive, and protective of one another. There is obvious loyalty noted by those who have seen them together. A friend and Milan fashion designer Luisa Beccaria has commented to The New York Post that:

“Ines is a very dedicated sister. I realised that Melania was very close to her family when I saw them all there supporting her after Barron’s birth, Melania had all the professional help she needed at that point, but it was her sister she trusted.”

Ines posts proud pictures of her sister on Facebook and in 2014 Melania posted her sister’s artwork on Facebook:

Obviously the sisters are very tight. She could well be the reason why Melania prefers to be in New York over D.C.

Editorial note: The video incorrectly describes Ines Knauss as Melania’s younger sister. Ines is the older sibling by two years.
