Adding to the mystery, her last social media appearance was a portrait posted on the @flotus Instagram account last month, prompting fans to question her whereabouts.
“Does anyone know where Melania is now? She was right by his side & now she’s gone. I miss her being here!” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “Where is Melania? It’s been quite some time since she’s been in public.”
Melania Trump Addresses Speculation
Putting the rumors to rest, Melania issued a statement this week, confirming that White House tours would soon resume following the administration’s transition period.
In the press release, she expressed enthusiasm about reopening the historic residence:
“The President and I are excited to reopen the White House to those interested in the extraordinary story of this iconic and beautiful landmark. There is much to learn about the American Presidency, the First Families who have lived here, and our Nation’s rich history from a firsthand experience at the White House.”
She further emphasized the importance of continuing the long-standing tradition of public access:
“This opportunity is unique among nations around the globe—a tradition we are honored to continue for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come each year.”
Balancing Family and Public Duties
Before breaking her silence, speculation swirled that Melania had been spending time in New York, where her son Barron Trump is currently attending NYU’s Stern School of Business. This theory gained traction after a recent Fox News interview, in which she addressed her living arrangements.
Melania revealed that over the next four years, she and Barron would split their time between Washington, New York City, and Palm Beach, Florida, while prioritizing family commitments.
“I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mum, to be a First Lady, to be a wife.”
As she navigates her role in the White House, it’s clear that Melania remains focused on her family while balancing her duties as First Lady. Though she may not always be in the public eye, her latest statement reaffirms that she is very much present in both her personal life and her official responsibilities.
