WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump has allegedly "demanded her own bedroom" in the White House because she "can't stand" her husband, President-elect Donald Trump.

She is set to serve her second term as FLOTUS after the MAGA spearhead defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 election.

Melania Trump finds husband Donald Trump 'revolting'

The first lady is usually portrayed as a modest, quiet, and private individual. This is a far cry from her opinionated, humorous, and frequently upbeat husband, who will succeed Joe Biden as president in January 2025.

Melania has been the talk of the town ever since she turned down outgoing First Lady Jill Biden's invitation to tea at the White House and there have been rumors that she will split her time between Florida, New York, and Washington, DC, while her husband is in office.

The former supermodel made stringent demands of having a separate bedroom before her husband's return to the White House in January 2025, as shared by an insider with Radar Online. 

The source, who is close to the Trump family, also shared with the outlet that Melania's desire to live apart is not new.

They stated, "It was no secret that Donald stayed in the White House master suite and Melania occupied a two-room suite on the third floor during their first-go round there."

"They'll now basically go back to something along those very same lines — if not in the very same rooms," the insider added.

They went on to say, "To put it succinctly, Melania finds Donald revolting," considering they were coming up on their 20th wedding anniversary in January.

It has long been rumored that Melania doesn't like sharing a bedroom with her husband, which has fueled speculations about their marriage and whether or not she even likes being married to the divisive figure.

However, Trump's spokesperson refuted the veracity of these claims regarding their sleeping arrangements.

Trump's recent presidential campaign trail, where Melania sparingly participated and attended only two significant events—the RNC and the Madison Garden rally in New York—saw an increase in rumors regarding the status of their marriage.

Observers also noticed that she avoided his attempt to embrace her, displaying little or no public displays of affection and distant interactions with Trump. This was seen by some as a blatant sign of the couple's lack of warmth.



 

Melania Trump plans to split her time between Florida, New York, and Washington, DC

Melania Trump will apparently split her time between Florida, New York, and Washington, DC, during Donald Trump's second White House term. 

Insiders told CNN that she has developed a close-knit group of friends in Florida over the last four years and would like to spend more time there.

This decision is said to have affected her choice not to stay full-time in the White House, unlike past first ladies. 

It is also anticipated that Melania will live in Trump Tower in New York for a significant portion of the year in order to stay near her son, Barron Trump, who enrolled at New York University to study at the Stern School of Business.

These plans imply that the former model might prefer spending extended periods away from her husband and might not be seeking to fully embrace life in the White House for a second time.

Melania will probably travel frequently to attend presidential engagements, even though she is not anticipated to live in the White House full-time with her husband.

Melania Trump quietly 'renegotiated' marital agreement with Donald Trump

Sources revealed to Page Six that Melania Trump "quietly" renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump in anticipation of his possible second term in office.

"Over the last year, Melania and her team have been quietly negotiating a new ‘postnup’ agreement between herself and Donald Trump," an insider told about the couple who got married in 2005.

"This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement," the source added, before clarifying that it isn't because the former first lady is leaving.

"Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son, Barron," noted the tipster.
