Melania Trump is set to become the First Lady of the United States once more after her husband, Donald Trump, won the 2024 Presidential Election. He’ll be sworn in for a second term in January.
During Donald’s first term in office, Melania kept a lower profile and avoided much of the spotlight her husband embraced as president. Her approach was sometimes met with criticism, and there were reports of tension between the couple, including a notable disagreement that reportedly led to a major argument.
This election cycle, Melania was rarely seen by Donald’s side during his campaign, sparking rumors that she might not even reside full-time in the White House. Speculation has circulated about the state of their marriage, although she did join Donald for a public appearance to celebrate his victory. While Melania smiled and kissed him during the celebration, a body language expert noted that she seemed reluctant to show any genuine emotion.
Now that the election is over, Donald Trump will be heading back to the White House, having defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Melania and other family members joined him onstage to mark the occasion.
Unlike her past appearances, Melania chose not to accompany her husband on the campaign trail, instead staying in New York, where their son Barron is studying at New York University.
Recently, Melania published a memoir with some surprising revelations. She expressed her support for women’s reproductive rights, openly disagreeing with Donald’s stance on abortion. In the memoir, she emphasized the importance of women having the autonomy to make their own choices without government interference.
Her book also reflects on her early days as a model, detailing how she met Donald Trump. Melania’s modeling career in New York led her to a chance encounter with Donald in 1998, who was captivated by her at an event. Initially, Melania wasn’t interested in dating him, especially given that he had arrived with another date. Instead of giving him her phone number, she requested his and agreed to call him later, reflecting her desire not to be just “another woman he called.”
Eventually, their connection blossomed, and she fondly described their early chemistry in her memoir. She also shared memories of their grand wedding, which she recalls as a magical day with celebrity guests and beautiful details.
As the Trumps prepare for another term, some insiders suggest Melania may not reside full-time at the White House. Sources close to her have hinted she’ll split her time between New York, Palm Beach, and the White House, with the latter unlikely to be her primary home.
At the election night celebration, Melania joined Donald onstage in Florida, and they shared a brief hug and kiss. Although some saw the gesture as affectionate, a body language expert noted that her interaction appeared hesitant, with little genuine emotion, possibly hinting at ongoing distance in their relationship.
During Trump’s first term, Melania’s tenure was marked by both high and low points. One notable incident involved a controversial jacket she wore to a migrant housing facility in Texas with the phrase “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on it. This drew sharp criticism, and reports later surfaced that Donald was furious about her choice of attire.
Recently, Melania faced backlash again after promoting a jewelry line linked to USA Memorabilia, which some critics accused her of using to profit off veterans.
