Former First Lady Melania Trump provided some sad news Tuesday in revealing that her mother, Amalija Knavs, passed away at the age of 78.

    “It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija,” Trump wrote in an X post. “Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity. She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.”Former President Trump recently revealed that Knavs was “very ill” while addressing supporters on New Years Eve. “Melania—great First Lady, so popular, the people love her—she’s now in a hospital with her mother. Her mother, Amalija, is very ill, but hopefully she’ll be recovering.”

    “But she’s been very ill, so I just want to say ‘hello’ to the First Lady—we just spoke, down in Miami, great hospital—and hopefully they’ll be ok, but it’s a tough one, it’s a very tough one. She knows probably about 95% of the people in this room. We just want to wish Amalija that she gets better as quickly as possible,” he continued.
