WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump has made one thing clear about her son Barron Trump; he will always come first in her life despite her responsibilities as first lady.

The 56-year-old shared the personal message in the first trailer for her upcoming two-part docuseries, offering a glimpse into her life as a mother, wife, and public figure.

Melania Trump says Barron will always be her priority

Speaking about her 20-year-old son, Melania said, “He’s my priority. He will always be my priority.”

The first lady also spoke about the risks of being close to political power, saying, “Everybody wants to be close to power, and sometimes [it] could be very dangerous.”

The trailer features behind-the-scenes clips of Melania visiting Americans affected by natural disasters and joining President Donald Trump at the White House and aboard Air Force One.

She also addressed media attention surrounding her, saying, “The media, they want gossip. For me, it’s noise.”

Melania Trump keeps her personal life with Barron out of the spotlight

Although Melania regularly makes public appearances, she has largely kept her personal life with Barron away from the spotlight.

Insiders have previously claimed she keeps Barron separate from Trump's other children. He also skipped his half-brother Donald Trump Jr's wedding in the Bahamas in May.

A source told journalist Rob Shuter that Tiffany Trump was the only one of Barron's siblings to attend his 20th birthday party in March.

“They’re not close — at all,” the source claimed, adding that Melania controlled the guest list.

“Melania is in charge, and she wanted this to be about Barron — not about Donald Trump, and not about his other children,” the insider alleged.

Melania previously praised Barron in her January Amazon documentary, describing him as a young man with an “incredible mind” who understood the importance of “maintaining composure, integrity, and self-discipline.”

“Although I guide him, it’s very important that he lives the life that he wants to live,” she said.

New docuseries follows Melania Trump's earlier Amazon documentary

‘Melania, The Series' is set to release on Prime Video on November 20. Its first episode will focus on family and trust as Melania prepared to return to the White House for Trump's second term, while the second will explore her experience as first lady.

Amazon said the project would offer viewers content that had not previously been shared publicly.

“MELANIA, The Series takes audiences beyond what they have already seen, with content never before shared with the public,” the company said.

The two-part series follows Melania's earlier Amazon documentary, released in January, which faced criticism over its content and production costs.

The film reportedly earned between $10 million and $16 million at the box office against an estimated $75 million investment. Amazon reportedly paid $40 million for the rights and spent another $35 million on marketing and its theatrical release.

Melania and director Brett Ratner defended the spending. Ratner told Deadline that such an investment was not unusual for a documentary, adding, “You put the money on the screen.”

Melania also defended the project, saying, “We achieved what we wanted to achieve for cinematic viewing, in the theaters, and then we have a doc series coming out.”

“And so we are very pleased with it. The Amazon team was so fantastic. So I am very proud of the motion picture,” she added.
