Melania Trump is said to be “keeping to herself” and avoiding any talk about her husband’s legal problems.
According to sources close to the former First Lady, she is not happy with her husband’s ongoing drama with porn star Stormy Daniels over an alleged hush money payment made to keep Daniels quiet about an affair they had after Melania gave birth to their son.
Melania, 52, is reportedly simply getting on with her life at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Despite Trump’s pending legal issues, Melania is content living in Florida, surrounded by people who love her and avoids talking about what’s going on with her husband, a source close to Melania told People.com.
Melania, however, is said to disapprove of her husband’s alleged conduct and role in the payment, which stems from an alleged affair with the adult film star years before his 2016 presidential bid.
According to Daniels, her affair with Trump began just a couple of months after the birth of Melania and Trump’s son, Barron, in 2006.
The source close to Melania says she is still angry at her husband and does not want to hear another word of the alleged affair or the hush money payment. Melania knows very well who her husband is, and she reportedly keeps herself distracted from all his drama with her own family and friends.
Melania has been angry ever since she first got wind of the “Stormy saga” in 2018, when it was reported that Trump had had an affair and had arranged a $130,000 payment to keep the former porn star quiet.
Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen initially denied the allegations, but Cohen later admitted he paid the porn star at Trump’s request. Trump has also admitted to authorizing the payment but has vehemently denied the affair. Cohen went to prison for his role in the transaction.
Now, Trump is the subject of a New York grand jury investigation, which he claims could lead to his arrest.
Melania is not sympathetic to Trump’s plight, according to the source, but she hopes she can continue to ignore it and it will pass.
Despite the couple residing in separate quarters, the two often appear in public together at various events at the club or eating dinner.
The source says if Trump is ever indicted, Melania will manage just fine as she has her closest family and friends around her and is well cared for.
