Donald and Melania Trump are 'loners' according to White House sources, who say their relationship is 'complicated'.
The Trumps are officially back in the White House, after the inauguration ceremony - which broke one big tradition for the first time since 1985 - on Monday (20 January).
The famous residence is made up of 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms, all of which can be accessed by the president and the first lady.
And an insider has revealed exactly which rooms they choose to sleep in - as it appears they don't share a bed, nor a room.

In Michael Wolff's book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, he wrote: "Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary.
"He retreated to his own bedroom - the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms."
However, Trump later criticised Wolff's book, stating it was 'really boring and untruthful'.
Biographer Mary Jordan, who interviewed White House staff, has also spoken out about the couple and their sleeping arrangements.
And it turns out that the pair generally live very individual lives.
She said: "Love is complicated and, as they say, Trump love is really complicated.
"They spend a shocking amount of time physically apart. And yet, the first call he often makes after a speech or a rally is to her. It’s a mystery."
The author noted that they often spend a lot of time in the same building, but nowhere near each other.
Jordan added: "I don’t know any couple that spends as much time apart.
"She rarely goes into the West Wing. She doesn’t like to golf. She has her own little spa.
"She likes to be isolated. She is a loner. He is a loner. They’re perfectly happy to be separated."
So which rooms did they stay in during their last term in office?
In CNN correspondent Kate Bennett's book Free, Melania, she noted that Trump slept in the White House master suite on the second floor, while Melania's bedroom was on the floor above.
Melania recently revealed in an interview with Fox and Friends that she doesn't always see eye to eye with her husband.
The First Lady said: "I gave him my advice, and sometimes he listens. Sometimes he doesn't and that's OK.
"But I have my own thoughts, I have my own 'yes' and 'no'."
