The couple doesn’t always agree on things. In her memoir, Melania even revealed she passionately defends abortion rights, which her husband doesn’t support. She’s emphasized that she’s an individual with her own thoughts and doesn’t always agree with what her husband says or does.
Régine Mahaux, Melania’s official photographer, has shared insights about her. He said she’s good at balancing her husband, has strong family values, and is committed to her family. He also noted that she’s a different person now compared to eight years ago, more free to make a statement.
This time around, Melania won’t be staying in Washington full-time as her son Barron Trump, who’s studying at Stern Business School, is the most important person in her life. A source told People Magazine that she doesn’t believe she has obligations in the political world and only does things at the White House if she has the time and interest. The source also compared her approach to navigating the spotlight to that of Donald’s previous wives, saying she’s smart like Ivana but more traditional in staying under the radar like Marla.

When it came to the Super Bowl, Melania Trump’s absence confused social media users. Many took to the social media platform X to ask why she didn’t accompany Trump. Some were concerned while others made snide remarks. Exactly why she didn’t attend isn’t known, though Donald released a statement before the game saying that his wife “joins me in sending our best wishes for a great Super Bowl Sunday.”
