Melania Trump was noticeably absent from her husband Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday celebration at Mar-a-Lago — their home in Palm Beach, Fla. — following a victorious presidential primary election.
The former US president, 77, spoke in front of hundreds of supporters at the club’s gilded ballroom after securing his third consecutive Republican presidential nomination.
“This was an amazing night, an amazing day, it’s been an incredible period of time in our country’s history,” Donald said during his victory speech.
His sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were seen attending the Super Tuesday watch party.
Donald’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump — like Melania — was not present, but it’s been widely known that she would no longer be playing a big role in her father’s political pursuits.
Although the “Apprentice” alum appeared — for the most part — in good spirits over the win, many people took to social media to chat about Melania, 53, being a no-show.
“It was Super Tuesday night. It was his victory speech. It was at Mar-a Lago. His wife Melania was not there,” one person wrote via X Wednesday.
“He’s trying to get more Women to support him but it doesn’t look good when the most important Woman in his life doesn’t appear to support him.”
Another surmised that perhaps the couple may be having marital issues, weighing in, “How come Trump was so sad last night? He should have been happy last night doing so well on Super Tuesday.
“Was it because Melania wasn’t there to support him. I think something is going on with them.”
A third person agreed, “#Melania doesn’t appear with #Trump on the night he wins Super Tuesday? How odd is that? What’s up with that marriage?”
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Donald and Melania for comment on why the former first lady was not present for the party, but we did not hear back in time for publication.
Meanwhile, neither has addressed the speculation on social media or to other outlets.
A source previously told Page Six that Melania was going to “step up” her diplomatic appearances in 2024 to help her husband once again win the US presidency.
The insider claimed that the mother of one — who shares 17-year-old son Barron with Donald — was “feeling more sure of herself — as both her husband’s representative and her own position as a diplomatic figure after her positive reception at the [Rosalynn] Carter funeral.”
However, Melania was then noticeably missing from the Trump family Christmas card last December.
It was then revealed the former model did not make the holiday photo shoot because her mother, Amalija Knavs, was ill. The latter passed shortly after and Donald was there to support his wife at the funeral.

Just last week, a new book alleged how Melania hides her true emotions about her husband’s alleged indiscretions, claiming she actually wanted to see the real estate mogul “humiliated” over a sex scandal he had with porn star Stormy Daniels.
“I think she was pissed at Trump and wanted him to be a little humiliated,” former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told Katie Rogers for her book, “American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden.”
Melania’s ex-pal Stephanie Winston Wolkoff previously alluded to similar sentiments last year.
She told Page Six at the time that the former first lady “lives in an “ivory tower of denial” and that her “way of coping is to never let her feelings show or affect her.”
