Melania Trump has largely stayed out of the public eye since her husband, Donald Trump, assumed office for his second term. While she received praise for her work with victims of the Los Angeles wildfires during a visit with her husband, she has since been rarely seen in the spotlight, raising questions about her whereabouts and activities.
During this second term, Melania has expressed that her role as First Lady will be different from her first. She has made it clear that she will not be living in the White House full-time, balancing her time between Washington, New York, and Palm Beach. “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,” Melania said during a Fox News interview.
Though she was visible on Election Day and Inauguration Day, Melania has kept a low profile otherwise, especially in the early part of Trump’s second term. Her limited public appearances have sparked curiosity and speculation about what she’s been doing.
One significant project she has been involved in is a documentary, reportedly filmed in part at the White House. Sources suggest that the film, which has been in production since late 2024, will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Melania’s life, including her role as First Lady and her day-to-day activities. The project, backed by Amazon, is expected to be released in theaters and on Netflix in 2025, with reports indicating the licensing deal could be worth up to $40 million.
In an interview about the documentary, Melania described it as an opportunity to share her story, explaining, “I wanted to make a movie about my life. My life rocks. I told my agent I had an idea, so please negotiate a deal for me amid the chaos.” She also revealed that the documentary would include footage of her transition into the White House, showcasing the preparations involved and how the process differs this time around.
While Melania has kept a more private and independent life, she has expressed a desire to be more involved in certain causes, particularly her Be Best campaign, which focuses on combating childhood bullying and promoting mental health. She has hinted at expanding the campaign in her second term and working with streaming platforms to further its goals.
Additionally, there’s speculation about Melania influencing her husband’s diet. Sources suggest that she’s working with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to help Donald Trump adopt healthier eating habits, emphasizing lean protein and vegetables over fast food. Melania has always been known for monitoring her own diet, and it seems she is extending this influence to Trump’s eating habits as well.
While Melania Trump’s approach to her role as First Lady is certainly unconventional, it appears she is focused on her own projects, her family, and her personal goals. Whether it’s promoting her campaign, working on a documentary, or supporting her husband’s health, Melania continues to shape her own path while maintaining a relatively low profile.
