The Instagram post, shared by Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, triggered questions about Melania’s whereabouts during the family celebration. However, an exclusive insight provided to Fox News Digital has now shed light on the matter. According to an insider, Melania was notably absent because she was diligently caring for her ailing mother at the time.

“Melania has always been very devoted to her entire family. It should be no surprise that she spent this Christmas with her ailing mother,” the source disclosed. Melania’s mother, Amalija Knavs, aged 78, is reported to be facing health challenges and is currently in the hospital, with Melania by her side.

The Christmas photo, capturing the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago estate, where a festive celebration was underway, raised questions about Melania’s recent public appearances. Recent reports suggested that Melania has deliberately kept a low profile, fueling speculations about her relationship with her husband.

However, insiders have refuted these speculations, asserting that Melania is fully supportive of Donald Trump’s potential 2024 election campaign. Page Six reported that Melania is planning to increase her public appearances and diplomatic engagements in the coming year. An undisclosed source revealed, “Trump and his family are so secure that he will become president again that insiders at Mar-a-Lago say he’s reached an agreement with Melania to step up top-tier diplomatic appearances in 2024.”

Beyond her family commitments, Melania has been actively involved in assisting her son, Barron Trump, in the college selection process. Notably, one of Melania’s recent public appearances was at the funeral of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter a few weeks ago, as well as at a citizens’ naturalization ceremony at the National Archives.

As Melania Trump continues to navigate her roles as a devoted family member and a public figure, her recent absence from the Christmas photo is now clarified as a result of her commitment to caring for her ailing mother. Despite keeping a lower profile in recent times, Melania’s support for her husband’s political endeavors remains unwavering, and fans can expect to see more of her in the public eye in the upcoming year.
