Melania Trump Skips Stepdaughter’s Baby Shower in Miami

MIAMI, Fla. — Melania Trump was notably absent from her stepdaughter’s baby shower on Sunday, attended by other members of the Trump family in Florida. The event celebrated Tiffany Trump‘s upcoming first child with husband Michael Boulos.

Sources close to the family reported that while members of the extended Trump clan gathered for the occasion, Melania chose to spend the day with her 19-year-old son, Barron, who is nearing the end of his first year at New York University.

“It wasn’t surprising that she didn’t attend,” said a Florida-based source. “Melania has her own schedule, even on weekends, and there wasn’t any particular reason for her to go to Tiffany’s baby shower.”

Tiffany’s mother, Marla Maples, posted a heartfelt tribute on social media. “A beautiful day celebrating my daughter Tiffany’s 1st baby shower surrounded by love, family, and dear friends. Thank you, Ivanka, for hosting such a stunning and heartfelt gathering—a memory we’ll cherish forever,” she wrote.

Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana, organized the shower. Despite the complicated family history, which includes Ivana Trump’s divorce from Donald Trump in 1989 upon learning about his relationship with Maples, the family appears to have mended some past conflicts.

Photos shared from the event showed several family members, including Eric Trump’s wife, Lara, and Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, celebrating together among vibrant decorations.

Tiffany hinted at the baby’s sex by wearing a floor-length blue dress and posted on social media, “1 month to go!” accompanied by a blue heart emoji, suggesting her due date is approaching. Her husband, Michael Boulos, is the son of businessman Massad Boulos, who also serves as a senior adviser to Donald Trump.
