WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump is seen sharing her husband, President-elect Donald Trump's expectations from his wife in a recently resurfaced video from 2005, the Daily Mail reported on Monday, November 25.

The video is from an interview on 'Larry King Live', where the couple appeared days after their wedding. They have been together since, and share a son, 18-year-old Barron Trump.

Melania Trump reveals Donald Trump's 'demands' before marriage

During the interview, Larry King asked Melania Trump, now 54, whether Donald Trump, now 78, had any "demands" or a "controlling" demeanor before their marriage.

She insisted that it was not the case, but admitted to adhering to some old-fashioned rules before exchanging vows.

"I knew what I was getting into," explained Melania. "Donald has his demands, but I knew this before I said I do."

"He (Donald) values loyalty, respect, and he has high expectations. There were things he expected from me, and I respected that," she continued. "Donald wanted a wife who would stand by his side but knew her place."

The former model added that one needed to be "strong and confident" to be with Donald Trump.

Second unearthed video reveals Melania Trump's daily diet

The 2005 Larry King interview was not the only video of Melania that resurfaced toward November end, stated the Daily Mail.



 

A 2019 video by Inside Edition was rediscovered by the public last week, which detailed the former and incoming first lady's daily eating habits.

According to the clip on YouTube, Melania preferred eating seven pieces of fruit each day, with her favorites being apples and peaches. She started her mornings with a breakfast smoothie containing spinach, carrots, blueberries, apple juice, and fat-free yogurt.

While her healthy food habits were a far cry from Trump's favorite diet of burgers and coke, Melania shared that she indulged in dark chocolate and ice cream at times but was careful about portion sizes.
