Melania Trump’s early months as First Lady during her husband’s second term have been shrouded in mystery. She decided to leave the spotlight for a while to work on her Amazon documentary and stated she wouldn’t be living full-time at the White House. This shift in approach raised questions about her absence, with some social media users expressing frustration.
Before Donald Trump’s campaign, it was rumored that Melania had no interest in being First Lady again. However, she returned to the role despite previous doubts about her readiness. During her first term, she focused on her Be Best campaign, but many noticed her limited public presence during her second term.
Melania has split her time between Mar-a-Lago and the White House, and a source revealed that while the Trumps share quarters in both places, she leads her own life. She also spends time in New York with their son, Barron.
New reports have sparked speculation about her marriage, with some claiming she is distant from Donald Trump. In Michael Wolff’s book All or Nothing, he describes their relationship as strained, with Melania reportedly refusing to accompany him on the campaign trail. The book also claims that Melania lives separately from her husband, mainly at Trump Tower.
Despite these claims, Melania has not addressed them publicly, and her absence has left people wondering about her role as First Lady and her marriage. In February, she made a brief return for the Governors Ball but soon retreated again to work on her documentary, which is set to release later in 2025. This absence has sparked increasing questions online about her whereabouts.
However, Melania returned to the public eye in April, appearing at the Women of Courage Award Ceremony, where she delivered a speech celebrating bravery and love.
