Melania Trump's absence from Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding in the Bahamas on Saturday, 23 May, has reignited the question of where she is in the Trump family story. According to reports, the former first lady chose not to spend the weekend with her husband's older children as speculation about family tension once again moved to the forefront.
The latest scrutiny follows months of talk about Melania Trump's limited public presence and her increasingly separate life from Donald Trump's political world. OK! Magazine reported that the 56 year old stayed away from Trump Jr.'s ceremony with fiancée Bettina Anderson, despite other members of the wider Trump family gathering at the tropical venue. Their son Barron, now 20, was also said to have missed the event, adding another layer to the long running discussion about distance inside the family.
