Little-known ‘reason’ why Melania Trump and husband Donald will sleep in separate rooms in the White House
There's a little-known 'reason' why Melania Trump and her husband Donald will sleep in separate rooms in the White House.
The pair will return to the White House once again now that Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States - which also makes him the first convicted felon to serve in the presidential role.
Despite the fact Trump, 78, married his third wife, Melania, 54, back in 2005 and have been wed now for almost two decades as well as sharing a son, they reportedly don't sleep in the same room.

Now, while the pair had access to 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and six levels in the White House during Trump's first term as president, it's reported that they decided to choose different bedrooms entirely.
American journalist Michael Wolff published a book titled Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House back in 2018 that claimed the couple were the first to sleep in separate rooms at the White House since John and Jackie Kennedy back in the 1960s.
In the book, Wolff discussed Trump's night-time routine which reportedly consisted of him retiring for bed at 6:30 pm, locking himself in his bedroom without his wife in order to eat McDonald's takeaways while watching three different televisions simultaneously.
"Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary," Wolff wrote. "He retreated to his own bedroom - the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms."
And apparently it's not just sleeping arrangements which see the couple apart as they were also reportedly extremely 'isolated' in general when living at the White House during Trump's first term.
"I don’t know any couple that spends as much time apart," Wolff went on. "They are often in the same building, but nowhere near each other.
"She [Melania] rarely goes into the West Wing. She doesn’t like to golf. She has her own little spa. She likes to be isolated."
As for the 'reason' behind why the pair like to spend so much time apart?
Well, Wolff simply explained: "She is a loner. He is a loner. They’re perfectly happy to be separated."
According to journalist Kate Bennett's 2019 'unauthorised biography' about the First Lady, titled Free, Melania, Trump slept in the White House's master suite on the second floor, while Melania had her own two-room suite on the third floor.
