Melania Trump's quiet confidence: Life beyond the spotlight
Associates of Melania Trump have shared insights into her behaviour behind the scenes. They observed the US President's wife at the White House and during official trips. What conclusions did they draw?
The stylist and photographer had the chance to work with Melania Trump during Donald Trump's first term in office. They have no doubt that the 54-year-old has gained a lot of confidence during this time, yet she remains authentic.
Hervé Pierre, who manages Melania Trump's wardrobe, revealed how often he was surprised by her practical approach to life. Despite not having to do so, she always insisted on personally packing for trips.
I immediately told her that she couldn’t do that and it was my job to do it, and she answered: ‘I always pack myself so I am sure what is in my luggage,’ he confessed to "Hello".
Regina Mahaux also confirmed that the politician's wife is grounded in reality. In her opinion, Melania does not exploit her position and is always kind to those around her, regardless of their status.
The photographer described the US First Lady as a hardworking person who takes her mission seriously. Every day, she starts at 6:00 AM and retires to bed only after midnight. The reserved media image of a strong woman does not align with how she treats her loved ones—in her view, she is empathetic and fulfils her roles as both a wife and mother.
I always think she's like the Queen of England – she would never whine, I've never seen her complain and when things are wrong, she says what she has to say [but] nothing mean, nothing rude [...] She will also make a coffee for you herself. So if you have a vision of a woman surrounded by servants, you are wrong—we read in "Hello".
Does Melania Trump dislike her husband? They've been together for 20 years
The artist noted that this is the secret to Melania and Donald Trump's successful marriage, having been together for two decades (they married on 22 January 2005). From her observations, the relationship is built on mutual support and understanding.
Although the views of those closely associated with the couple are favourable, not everyone sees Melania Trump's marriage so positively. Critics point out that the couple rarely show public affection and suggest that the former model may not be fond of her husband. What do you believe is the truth?
