Melania Trump is in her girl boss era, and she isn’t going to let anyone or anything ruin it for her. This includes her husband, Donald Trump, as well as any of the first lady duties she’s expected to perform during her husband’s second term as the President of the United States. With son Barron Trump grown up and attending college at NYU, Melania is free from childcare responsibilities and can now focus on her own goals. We love a woman with main character energy.

While Melania has obviously not revoked her role as the president’s wife, sources told People: “She will never be a traditional first lady. That isn’t who she is. They added that Melania has “her own ideas on what she wants to do.” According to the source, this includes devoting her energy to her own projects, such as her upcoming Amazon Prime Video documentary. Interestingly, this documentary is being directed by Brett Ratner, whose oeuvre includes “Rush Hour,” “Red Dragon,” and “X-Men: The Last Stand.”
Another source revealed to the outlet, “Melania has been busy shooting her documentary and that has taken place in several locations, including the White House.” If true, this means that, while Melania and Donald are together in the same place, they’re not actually together, since her focus is on the untitled documentary. According to the New York Post, Donald will make a cameo in the film along with Barron.

Considering how much money Melania Trump is slated to make from this documentary — at least $28 million of her $40 million deal with Amazon, according to The Wall Street Journal — it’s not much of a wonder why Melania is so concentrated on this project. She hasn’t completely ditched her first lady responsibilities, however, despite not attending Super Bowl 2025 with her husband.

Recently, she ended her month-long absence from the White House to attend the National Governors Association Dinner and Reception event. She and President Donald Trump wore similar outfits to the shindig, and Donald praised his wife for the preparation she did. “She worked very hard on making sure that everything was beautiful. And she’s very good at that,” Donald told the room of politicians (via CNN).
Nevertheless, it bucks tradition to have a first lady not hang around the White House, but it seems like Melania is going to do what Melania is going to do — her husband tends to operate the same way. She does manage to show up for important events when it matters.
