Why Melania Trump skipped the baby shower of stepdaughter Tiffany Trump

Tiffany Trump’s pregnancy was revealed in October when her father, businessman-turned-president Donald Trump, shared the news with the crowd at an event at the Detroit Economic Club.

CNN reported at the time that Trump said his daughter was a “very exceptional young woman” before adding that “she’s gonna have a baby. So that’s nice.”

Tiffany’s child would be Trump’s 11th grandchild.

Her mother, Marla Maples, and Donald Trump split in 1997, after which Tiffany stayed with her mom.

Marla wanted her daughter to grow up away from her father’s shadow and discover her own identity.

Although she didn’t grow up alongside her siblings, Tiffany has a close relationship with the rest of her father’s children, especially Ivanka Trump.

Although she stayed with her mother following her parents’ divorce, Tiffany followed in her father’s footsteps by attending the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 2016. However, unlike most of her siblings, she opted not to jump into real estate—instead, she stepped into the political spotlight, making appearances on the campaign trail and addressing the nation during the Republican National Convention.

“Like my father, I never back down from challenges, so here I am, a little new to the convention scene, but very honored and confident in the man America is coming to know,” Tiffany said.

In 2020, Tiffany graduated from Georgetown Law School and her father made sure he showed the world just how proud he was.

“Great student, great school,” Donald wrote on Twitter. “Just what I need is a lawyer in the family. Proud of you, Tiff!”

Back in 2004, while speaking of his children, Donald Trump made a rather awkward comment about Tiffany.

“You know I have another daughter, with Marla, named Tiffany?” Trump told New York Magazine. “She’s just a beautiful great kid also. But it’s very separate. When you have separate wives, it’s sort of … separate. Marla was a good person, as was Ivana. But I’m married to my business. It’s been a marriage of love. So, for a woman, frankly, it’s not that easy in terms of relationships. But there are a lot of assets.”

Marla Maples said that Trump’s statement about the relationship with his job was true.

“There were times when all of us wished we had more of Donald’s ear and his focus, especially when we’d have family dinners on Friday,” she said. “‘Can you turn off the financial news for a moment, please?’ But those kids always knew that he was unique in a way, that he’s got to run that company. I’ve watched that also with Tiffany. A lot of the fathers are here for all her basketball games, but she knows her dad loves her.”

According to a source close to Tiffany, the relationship between Donald and Tiffany has always been a strained one, and it turned even more awkward after he took office.

“Since the inauguration, Tiffany and her father have sometimes gone months without speaking, and she went a very long time without seeing him,” the source told People Magazine. “The last time she was at a family function with him, it was awkward for her, and she didn’t feel totally welcome.

“They always had a strained relationship her whole life, and it got exacerbated by the presidency,” the source continued. “It’s gotten much worse now.”

In April, Tiffany had a Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower planned by Ivanka Trump during which she wore a floor-length blue dress with floral embellishments and posed cradling her baby bump.

She captioned the photos: “1 month,” and added a bear and blue heart emojis.

However, while her half-sister Ivanka was the one organizing the event, Melania Trump didn’t show up. At the time, she was in New York with her son Barron Trump.

Sources close to the Trumps claim that Tiffany and Melania’s relationship is a close one, but that there wasn’t “any reason” for the First Lady to be there. Instead, Melania has her own schedule, even on weekends.” It seems like n o matter how well she gets along with her stepchildren, Melania always puts her son on the top of the list of her priorities.
