First lady Melania Trump finally stepped into the limelight this week to debut her anti-cyberbullying initiative, "Be Best."
Her campaign has been puzzling to some, given her husband's affinity for insulting his opponents on Twitter, and others ridiculed her for releasing an educational booklet that was virtually identical to one the Obama administration published.
But despite the criticisms, the first lady is generally well-liked among the public and is far more popular than her husband, polls show.
Though Trump is much more private than her predecessors, and spends much of her time away from the spotlight, 57% of Americans have said they have a favorable impression of her, according to a CNN poll released Monday.
Here are incredible facts about Trump that set her apart from other first ladies:
She is only the second first lady in American history born outside of the United States, in Slovenia. The only other foreign-born first lady was Louisa Catherine Johnson, the wife of John Quincy Adams, who was born in England.

Trump is also the only FLOTUS who grew up in a Communist country, back when Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia. Though money was tight for many people in the small town of Sevnica, people who knew Melanija Knavs back then said she was "always very fancy" and "never wore anything from the store."

Trump is the only first lady to be her husband's third spouse. Donald Trump was previously married to Marla Maples until 1999, and before that, Ivana Trump until 1992.
