Her Faith Is Important
Since the Kennedys were in the White House, there were no more Catholics until Melania became First Lady. Following Melania’s trip to the Vatican, her spokeswoman confirmed that she was baptized in secret in Slovenia. After meeting the Pope, she described the experiences as “one I’ll never forget.”
Second Non-American First Lady
Did you know that Melania is just the second First Lady that was not born in the United States? The first was John Quincy Adams’ wife Louisa Adams, who was born in London, England to an American merchant father and English mother. Louisa was the sixth First Lady and served from 1825 until 1829.
