According to Yahoo, Melania Trump’s conspicuous absence and her notable silence amid Donald Trump’s legal troubles have raised speculations about the possibility of a looming divorce, according to relationship expert Louella Alderson. Alderson, co-founder of the dating app So Syncd, suggests that while she can’t predict the future of the Trumps’ marriage, the strain caused by Donald Trump’s ongoing legal issues and his election campaign may be taking a toll on their relationship.
Alderson points out that it’s challenging to determine whether Melania Trump will choose to divorce Donald Trump, as it’s a deeply personal decision. However, she notes that reports have consistently portrayed the couple as having a strained relationship, and they appear to spend little time together.
The Trumps have faced numerous challenges throughout their marriage, including allegations surrounding Donald Trump’s affair with Stormy Daniels while married to Melania. Melania may have been forced to overlook or handle these issues to maintain the marriage, says Alderson. However, she also highlights that the fact that they’ve endured so much together could mean they might choose to stay together and work through their problems.
“As a political figure, Donald Trump is subject to intense media scrutiny and pressure from both sides of the aisle. Melania may have felt that divorcing him during his time in office would have been too much of a distraction and could have had negative implications for his reputation as President,” she said. “Trump and Melania could have discussed the situation and decided that staying together was a better option to avoid further embarrassment or scrutiny for themselves, their family and Donald Trump’s presidency.”
Alderson speculates that Melania might have been hesitant to separate from her husband during his presidency due to the intense media scrutiny and political pressures associated with being a political figure. She suggests that Melania might have believed that divorcing him during his time in office would have been too disruptive and potentially damaging to his reputation as President. The couple may have decided that staying together was the best option to avoid further embarrassment or scrutiny for themselves, their family, and Donald Trump’s presidency.
“Melania might feel that living separately, as she has allegedly been doing for some time now, is the better option for her than actually going through the process of officially divorcing Donald,” she says. “Whatever happens, it’s clear that Melania is in a difficult situation and it’s clear that there are many factors at play,” concluded Alderson, “At the end of the day, only she can decide what she thinks is the best path forward.”
