Melania Trump’s absence from the public eye has sparked growing concern among her supporters. The former First Lady, known for maintaining a relatively private life, has not been seen since January 24, when she accompanied her husband, Donald Trump, on trips to California and North Carolina. Since then, she has remained out of the spotlight while the former president continues his busy schedule, signing executive orders, attending press conferences, and making public appearances.
Her absence became even more noticeable during the Super Bowl weekend when Trump was seen cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs. Many expected Melania to be by his side, yet she was nowhere to be found. Instead, his daughter Ivanka attended the event, further fueling speculation about Melania’s whereabouts.
Her continued absence from key White House-related events has only deepened the mystery. She has missed several important meetings, including those with foreign dignitaries such as King Abdullah of Jordan, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She also opted out of exclusive political spouse gatherings, including a dinner hosted by Trump for Republican senators and their spouses at Mar-a-Lago.
Adding to the intrigue is her unusual silence on social media. Typically known for sharing updates on her initiatives and public appearances, Melania has posted only twice on X since her last public outing—once to share her official portrait and another time to express condolences over a tragic plane and military helicopter crash in Washington. On Instagram, she has remained just as inactive, sharing only her portrait.
The Daily Mail reached out to the White House’s East Wing for an explanation, but no official response has been provided regarding her prolonged absence.
However, those familiar with Melania’s nature are not entirely surprised. Even during Trump’s first term, she often chose to maintain a lower profile and did not accompany him to every event. It is believed that she spends a significant amount of time in New York, particularly at Trump Tower, where her son Barron attends school and spends his free time.
Despite the speculation, Melania has made it clear that she intends to fulfill the role of First Lady on her own terms. Rather than adhering to traditional expectations, she has focused on personal projects, including her jewelry line, an NFT collection, and an upcoming documentary about her life. Reports suggest that Amazon has offered her a staggering $40 million for the project.
Though she has remained out of the public eye for nearly three weeks, one thing is certain—Melania Trump continues to move strategically, ensuring that her brand and influence remain strong, even in her absence.
