Donald and Melania Trump share an intimate nighttime routine
Donald and Melania Trump have been married for over 20 years and, despite ups and downs—including a brief split early in their relationship—they remain together. Rumors often suggest Melania is distant or unhappy, but insiders say the couple shares a nightly dinner ritual that keeps their bond strong.
They first met in New York when Donald was a rising real estate mogul and Melania was a model. Initially, she refused to give him her number, but Donald persisted. Eventually, their connection grew stronger, though they briefly separated in 2000, partly due to his political ambitions. They reunited and married in 2005.
Over the years, they’ve faced criticism for their seemingly distant public appearances. Melania’s former friend claimed their marriage works because she doesn’t pressure Trump like his previous wives. Meanwhile, author Michael Wolff alleged Melania “hates” her husband and rarely appears with him in public.
However, body language experts noted affectionate behavior between them at Pope Francis’ funeral, and an insider says they still eat dinner together every night, even if they sleep in separate rooms—similar to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Staff reportedly saw their relationship as warm and not tense, suggesting their marriage may be stronger than it appears.
