Where is Melania Trump? First Lady’s absence ‘getting worse everyday’ as Donald attends NCAA without wife
Melania Trump’s frequent absences from public events alongside former President Donald Trump continue to fuel speculation about their marriage, with social media buzzing over her latest no-show at the NCAA wrestling championships. The former president attended the sporting event with billionaire Elon Musk for the second time in three years, but Melania’s noticeable absence has reignited questions about their relationship dynamics.
Online commentators have grown increasingly vocal about the former first lady’s whereabouts, with one X user asking pointedly: “Where is Melania? Is Trump even still married?” Others noted this appears to be part of an ongoing pattern, with Melania having skipped multiple high-profile events including the 2024 Republican National Convention during Trump’s campaign.
The speculation has been further fueled by reports that Melania has chosen to remain living in New York City with their 18-year-old son Barron, who is currently attending New York University, rather than residing full-time at the White House. This unusual living arrangement for a presidential couple has led to rumors about the state of their marriage, though the Trumps have never publicly addressed these claims.
Despite her absence from campaign events and recent public appearances, Melania has maintained some official presence, including hosting guests at the White House around the time of the State of the Union address, as shown in photos she posted on her X account on March 11. Her selective public appearances appear carefully calculated, with the former model prioritizing her son’s upbringing over political obligations.
Meanwhile, President Trump has been filling his schedule with sporting events since returning to the White House, including appearances at the Super Bowl in New Orleans and the Daytona 500 in Florida. His choice to attend these events with high-profile figures like Musk rather than his wife has only amplified questions about their relationship status among observers and critics alike. The situation continues to provide fodder for media speculation about one of America’s most scrutinized political marriages.
