At the time, the city was still glowing from hosting the Summer Olympics. </p><p>A young Donald Trump took a trip north, showing up unannounced at a fashion show where Czech model Ivana Zelníčková, whom he'd met earlier that summer in New York, was walking the runway. Ivana later shared in her autobiography "Raising Trump" that she was taken aback when she saw him in the audience. </p><p>"I was walking the runway in a fur coat when I noticed a tall blond man in the audience," she wrote, according to the Montreal Gazette.</p><p>"He'd somehow found out about it and come to Montreal to surprise me. It made me slightly uncomfortable that he had information about me that I hadn't given him—a hangover from a communist childhood, perhaps—but I was flattered."</p><p>Trump's surprise appearance in Montreal ignited a romance that led to their marriage and ultimately made Ivana and Donald one of the most talked-about couples of the 1980s. Together, they built a sprawling business empire that became a cornerstone of Trump's public image and set him on the path to the presidency in 2016.</p><p>Together, Ivana and Donald became parents to three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, forming the family that have played a central role in Trump's political image.</p><p>With the U.S. election approaching, it's interesting to note that no matter who wins, whether it's Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, Montreal will have played a part in shaping their lives—even if it's just a tiny part!</p><p><em>Love this?
