First lady Melania Trump was not present at a baby shower thrown in honor of her stepdaughter, Tiffany Trump, People reported. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump began dating when the youngest Trump daughter was only 5 years old.
The president and first lady were nearby in Palm Beach, where the baby shower was being held on Sunday, April 6. Donald Trump was in Miami and at his Mar-a-Lago residence and golf club in Palm Beach for the LIV Golf fundraiser tournament that weekend.
Neither attended Tiffany Trump's event, but it would be unexpected for the president since the baby shower was primarily a women-only event. A source close to the matter said that it wasn't "surprising" for Melania Trump not to be there.
The source said Melania Trump believed there wasn't "any reason" for her to attend but added that she "has her own schedule, even on weekends." The source said that Melania Trump was busy with her son, 19-year-old Barron Trump, over the weekend.
According to The Hill, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump's older stepsister, hosted the soiree to celebrate the impending birth of her baby boy. The theme was Peter Rabbit as 31-year-old Tiffany Trump and her husband, 27-year-old Michael Boulos, eagerly await the arrival of their first child.
Tiffany Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump and Marla Maples, but it's clear that she's close to her stepsister. On Tuesday, Ivanka Trump posted about the baby shower on X, formerly Twitter.
"Every detail was inspired by Beatrix Potter’s world — from bunny tails to garden treats — to celebrate the little boy she’s about to welcome into her life. It was the sweetest day — filled with so much love, laughter, and excitement for everything ahead," Ivanka Trump wrote.
"Tiff, you’re going to be the most wonderful mama. Your baby boy is already so loved — and so lucky to have you! Love you!" she added.
This Sunday, I had so much fun hosting a Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower for my sweet sister Tiffany! We showered her with love and had the best time celebrating her and baby-to-be!

In a report from E! News, the parents-to-be were spotted on a dinner date the night before the baby shower. Although they didn't make a public appearance with the president and first lady, it's quite possible they met up with them sometime over the weekend.
While the leftist media attempted to make something of Melania Trump's absence, the Trump family is stronger than ever. In fact, it was her father, who was a presidential candidate at the time, who let the cat out of the bag in October.
Donald Trump was speaking about the people attending his campaign stop when he pointed out Michael Boulos' father, Massad Boulos. "He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy," Donald Trump said.
"And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice," he added. Tiffany Trump later confirmed that she was pregnant in a post on Instagram in December.
The Trump family is constantly under scrutiny by journalists who don't care for the president. The birth of a new grandchild is surely a happy time for the first couple whether Melania Trump celebrates it publicly or not.
