Melania Trump has mostly avoided the spotlight since Inauguration Day a month ago. The First Lady was hailed for her treatment of victims of the Los Angeles wildfires while traveling with her husband, President Donald Trump, but she has been rarely seen since. Melania’s whereabouts have become a recurring subject in recent years.

Melania has stated that her second White House term will be different. The First Lady won’t live in the White House full-time, and a new source has described her life. She doesn’t seem to have much time for politics.

Melania confirmed her position on her second term after Donald Trump won the 2024 election. She has spent the previous few years supporting Barron, her and Donald’s son, out of the spotlight.

Remember, Barron returned to New York and began studying at Stern Business School at New York University. First Lady Melania has indicated she will perform various jobs, but she won’t live in Washington full-time.

White House is my destination. You know I’ll be in New York when needed. I will be in Palm Beach as needed. My top priority is being a mother, first lady, and wife. After we take office on January 20, you serve the nation, Melania said Fox News.

Melania joined her husband on Election Day and Inauguration Day. Besides that, the US First Lady is rarely seen.

Melania has become a true American since arriving in the 1990s, although she retains her Slovenian ancestry. Melania and Donald visited with Governor Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles last month to discuss rebuilding wildfire-ravaged communities.

Melania Trump lauded for speaking Slovenian to wildfire victim

One user on X submitted a beautiful 30-second film of Melania comforting wildfire victims, including a Slovenian-speaking woman. Social media users lauded the First Lady for her kindness and native language.

The Daily Mail said that one user said, “Seeing Melania so much more involved this time around is amazing.” Another said, “When we speak to people in their native tongue, they feel heard, listened to, and loved! A remarkable First Lady.”

A third said: “First Lady Melania Trump comforts wildfire victims in her native language. Melania is beautiful and graceful with a ballcap.”

Melania missed the Super Bowl in New Orleans with her husband, and she has spent a lot of time in Florida since Trump took office. Melania might have been at the White House as Donald Trump greeted world leaders to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Melania has not attended Donald’s receptions for Netanyahu, Ishiba, King Abdullah II, and Modi, according to CNN. Donald signed executive orders and invited champion women’s sports teams to the Oval Office without her.

Where’s Melania Trump?

What Melania has been doing is secret, sparking suspicion. An unknown insider told People Magazine that Melania has been filming her Amazon documentary.

A political source told the news outlet that Melania’s withdrawal from the spotlight during Trump’s first month in office “should not come as a surprise because this is how she lives.” The insider said Melania “will never be a traditional first lady” and has “her own ideas on what she wants to do.”

According to People Magazine, the first lady “has been involved with moving ahead on her own projects, and recently she has been in the White House for that.”

“Melania has been busy shooting her documentary in several locations, including the White House,” a Miami political source told People.

Amazon stated they were filming a Melania behind-the-scenes feature on January 6. A follow-up documentary series is being made alongside the documentary, which will be released in theaters later this year.

According to Puck News, three sources say the licensing deal is worth $40 million. The film began filming in December 2024 and will be released in theaters and on Netflix in the second half of 2025.

Prime Video will share more details on the project when filming progresses and distribution plans are set, Amazon added. “We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers worldwide.”
