What Happens To Melania If She Divorces Donald Trump?

Melania Trump and Donald Trump said "I do" back in 2005, and since then, their marriage has been anything but boring. Along with an extravagant lifestyle, the couple's relationship has involved legal matters regarding what will happen if they divorce.

In The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan writes about the timing of the first lady's move to Washington. She explained,

"Part of the reason first lady Melania Trump delayed her move from New York City to the White House in 2017 was because she was renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Donald Trump."

Divorce lawyer Christina Previte may have an idea why that was necessary. She exclusively told Nicki Swift,

"I suspect that no one ever thought Donald was actually going to win. And then when he did win, Melania and everyone else realized the dramatic changes that they would need to make to their daily lives, including moving to Washington."

Previte continued,

"I also suspect Melania didn't really want the public life that she has now as first lady. Even before Donald's presidency, she was very private and not very much in the public eye."

Although Melania may have reluctantly accepted her role in the White House, she apparently wasn't hesitant to make sure something — or, rather, someone — was taken care of if she and Donald should split up.

According to Mary Jordan, when Melania renegotiated her prenup with Donald, she wanted proof that their son, Barron, would, quote, "be treated as more of an equal to Trump's oldest three children." Previte explained,

"[Melania seems] very concerned about Barron being ousted from the family, which seems understandable given the strained relationship she reportedly has with Ivanka."

If something were to happen to Barron's parents, Previte said Donald's other children would determine Barron's involvement in the family business. She went on to say,

"Melania is right to be concerned about that, particularly since it doesn't appear that Tiffany Trump is very involved, if at all, in the business. I suspect Melania doesn't want Barron to become exiled like Tiffany has been."

Beyond that, Previte said she has long suspected that Melania would leave her husband after his presidency ends, in which case they'd be treated like any other divorcing couple.

Much of Melania's motivation in reportedly renegotiating her prenup with Donald has been to secure the future of their son. Presumably, part of that planning involves housing, which is why some might be interested to learn that in 2016 Melania purchased a new property — a one-bedroom apartment in New York City's Trump Towers for a pricey $1.49 million, according to The Real Deal. The unit is reportedly the only unit the building's condo board has ever purchased. Why Melania purchased this apartment is unclear, and what will happen with the unit should divorce happen is also a mystery.

As for the couple's big penthouse in New York? As Forbes noted, the apartment's value in 2017 was $64 million, and Trump acquired the penthouse in 1983, long before he married Melania. So he'd likely be reluctant to part with it in a divorce. If Melania can't get the penthouse, could she at least write a tell-all? Previte explained,

"Commonly, wealthy litigants, especially those who wish to maintain their privacy, would likely settle everything out of court through their attorneys."

There's also Trump's prenup with his second wife, Marla Maples, to consider. As Vanity Fair reported in 2019,

"Under the extensive confidentiality agreement, Maples agreed she wouldn't publish 'any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description or depiction of any kind whatsoever, whether fictionalized or not, concerning (or seeming to concern) the details of the parties' marriage.'"

The outlet added the consequence for any such breach, stating,

"And if she did, the prenup stated: 'Donald will suffer irreparable damage and injury in the event of any such breach.'"

So it's possible that Melania agreed to a similar code of silence in her prenup with Trump. Of course, it's impossible to say for certain as of now. Watch the video to learn What Happens To Melania If She Divorces Donald Trump!
