Melania Trump quickly shot down questions this week about whether she would return to modeling soon, insisting she and her president-elect husband had more important matters at stake.
The first lady, who had a long international career as a model before her husband entered politics, asked “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday whether she would agree if asked to be on the cover of a fashion magazine. asked.
She said she's not too keen on posing for photoshoots, at least for now.
“You know, I've been on the cover. I've been on the cover of Vogue, I've been on the cover of a lot of magazines,” Melania said.
“And, you know, for me, there are a lot of important things to do besides being on the cover of a magazine.
“I don't think anyone's life will change if I appear on the cover,” the 54-year-old mother added.
Kilmeade jokingly replied, “Can I withdraw the question?”
Melania was born in Slovenia and began her modeling career in Europe before moving to New York in the mid-'90s.
She and the future president met at the Kit Kat Club during New York Fashion Week in 1998, when she was 28 and he was 52.
She famously posed nude for a French adult magazine in 1995, and she did it front and center again on Donald Trump's private jet. Published in British GQ magazine in 2000.
Earlier this year, she defended her nude modeling.
“Why am I so proud of my work as a nude model?” she said in an ad for her best-selling memoir, “Melania.”
“The more pressing question is why the media chose to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot,” Melania said.
