Melania Trump has mostly kept to herself during her second term as First Lady of the United States. Reports have suggested that she and Donald Trump are living ‘separate lives,’ and soon, she might take a step to distance herself from her husband even more. The first lady’s time in Washington could be up, as it’s been claimed she considers leaving the White House for good.
Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship has been front-page news for a long time. While the couple recently celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary, questions about their marriage have long been brought up.
Trump author Michael Wolff, whom Donald isn’t a fan of, has previously claimed that Melania ‘hates’ her husband. Moreover, the President and First Lady of the United States are said to have separate bedrooms at the White House.
In March last year, Wolff claimed they basically don’t live together.
“She doesn’t live with him. They spend very little time together. Whenever she was at the White House or at Mar-a-Lago it’s like she’s a guest. She basically lives in Trump Tower now,” he said on the Daily Beast podcast.
Melania Trump clearly stated that her second term as First Lady would be different from her first. She said she would not be living at the White House full time, but instead divide her time between Washington, Florida and New York City.
Melania Trump ‘considering White House exit:’ source
Now, a new bombshell rumor could change everything at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. According to journalist Rob Shuter, Melania is quietly planning to return to New York and leave Washington for good. Sources close to her say life in the capital never suited her.
“D.C. was always temporary in her mind,” one source told Shuter on his Substack. “Melania is a New York woman.”
Melania still regularly travels to Florida to spend time with family and to fulfill job obligations. The sources close to her suggest she wants to make “The Big Apple” her main base again.
And perhaps the timing isn’t a coincidence. Melania – who reportedly earned $40 million by selling the rights to her newly released documentary film to Amazon – is reportedly launching a major lifestyle and luxury brand simply called Melania.
Could move to New York City
Sources describe it as an ‘ambitious, Oprah-style venture—offering everything from premium fragrances and skincare to luxury home goods and high-end fashion, alongside more accessible branded collectibles.’
“This is about turning Melania into a global luxury brand,” a source added. “New York is where that happens—not Washington.”
