Melania Trump explains why she doesn't want to have more children with Donald Trump
First Lady Melania Trump is the mother of one of Donald Trump's children and the stepmother of four of them. Although Melania is now happy with her son Barron, she once revealed that she would like to have more children, but her busy schedule would have complicated matters.
Melania Knauss, a former model born in Slovenia, never had the ambition to become the first lady of the United States when she married real estate mogul Donald Trump in 2005.
Then 36, Melania becomes Trump's third wife, as he had previously been married to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples.
She also took on the role of stepmother for Trump's four children from previous relationships: Donald Jr, Ivanka, Tiffany and Eric.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BARRON
However, Melania wanted to experience motherhood, and in 2006 she gave birth to her only child, Barron Trump.
Melania has said on several occasions that Trump enjoys being a father, but his busy schedule - which he always had even before taking over the White House - took a toll on his time with Barron at times.
In 2015, Melania told Parenting magazine that Trump never changed their son's diapers, but she agreed with that.
"It's not important to me. What matters is what works for you",
Knowing who you are with is very important. And we know our roles. "
As an active mother, Melania made sure to provide her son with the best possible education. He was brought up in three languages - English, French and Slovene, Melania's mother tongue - and she also made sure to let his creativity run free.
BE A PARENT
In a 2013 interview with ABC News, Melania described her son as very energetic and cute.
"I call him 'Mini-Donald'",
She also admitted that while she was open to the possibility of giving Barron a baby sister or brother, her schedule was already full, as she looked after both Barron and her husband.
"I don't like to say never, but my life is very busy",
"We are happy, and I have my two boys' hands full - my big boy and my little one!"
Two years later, Mr Trump launched his presidential campaign and having children certainly marked the spirits of the couple, who focused on more important issues.
"It's my choice not to be here",
Melania told Barbara Walters about her absence during Trump's campaign in 2015. And she continued:
"I am 100% supportive of my husband, but we have a 9 year old son together, Barron, and I am raising him, and this is the age he needs a parent at home."
Melania also mentioned in an interview with People that not having a nanny to help her care for the children was a conscious decision, as she wanted to be there for her child, help him with his homework. and take him to his extracurricular activities.
Even after Trump took over the presidency, Melania chose to stay in Manhattan with Barron - who would have had an entire floor all to himself on the Trump Tower - until he finished his school year at Columbia. Grammar and Preparatory School.
They eventually moved to the White House in June 2017, and Barron is now enrolled in the Episcopal St. Andrew's, Maryland.
BARRON'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER
According to Melania, her husband and son have a very close relationship, and they enjoy spending time together when Trump's busy schedule allows.
"Barron likes to be alone with his dad because normally he is almost always with me",
"So I give them some space when it's Dad and Barron's time. They're going to have dinner alone, one-on-one. They play golf together. He always looks forward to it."
Unlike some of his siblings, Barron isn't in the limelight that often, though he did join his parents in some official White House activities, like the egg hunt or forgiveness of the turkey for Thanksgiving.
BARRON QUICKLY BIGGER
The 13-year-old made headlines recently when he was spotted leaving the White House with his parents ahead of a weekend in Florida, as many people took notice of how he grew up and how tall he was compared. to his mom and dad.
