Melania Trump Reveals Where She Plans To Live During Her Husband's Presidency
The former first lady's living plans have been the subject of much speculation ahead of Donald Trump's second term.
Melania Trump suggested she will live mostly at the White House when her husband becomes president again, following months of speculation over where she intends to spend the bulk of her time during her second stint as first lady.
âWhere will you be spending most of your time? In the White House? Palm Beach? Here in New York?â Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump in an interview that aired Monday morning on Fox News.

âI will be in the White House,â she replied. âAnd you know, when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach.â
âBut my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife,â she added. âAnd once weâre in on January 20, you serve the country.â
It had been rumored that the former first lady might not live at the White House full-time with Donald Trump during his second administration. CNN reported in November, citing sources familiar with her thinking, that she was unlikely to reside primarily in Washington, D.C., and was more likely to split most of her time between Florida and the Trumpsâ Manhattan penthouse.

Melania was absent from the spotlight during much of the 2024 presidential campaign, but became significantly more active in the final stretch as she promoted the release of her memoir.
