Former first lady Melania Trump’s mother, Amalija Knavs, has died at the age of 78. Amalija had been ill for some time.
Melania was missing from a Trump family Christmas photo featuring her husband, former President Donald Trump, and three of his five children because she had been at Knavs’ side in the hospital.
“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija,” Trump wrote on X Tuesday.
“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.”
