New Melania Trump documentary reveals private life before 2025 inauguration
A new documentary about Melania Trump is set to offer an inside look at her life before and after the 2025 presidential inauguration. Titled Melania, the film promises exclusive footage from the 20 days leading up to the event. Its release comes amid long-standing speculation about the Trumps’ marriage.
The project, directed by Brett Ratner, has already drawn attention—not just for its subject but also for its controversial filmmaker. Amazon acquired the rights for €35 million, signalling high expectations for its impact.
Rumours about Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship have circulated since before their time in the White House. While divorce speculation persists, most gossip suggests they simply lead separate lives. People magazine previously reported that the couple spent little time together, even while living under the same roof.
The documentary’s trailer shows Melania preparing for official meetings alongside her son, Barron. It also claims to provide ‘unprecedented access’ to private moments in the days before the inauguration. Donald Trump himself has called the film ‘incredible’ and predicted its success.
Brett Ratner, the director, has faced his own controversies. Six women, including actress Olivia Munn, accused him of sexual misconduct, and his name appeared in the Epstein files. Despite this, his documentary series Eine First Lady, wie es sie noch nie gab was previously acquired by Amazon for €35 million.
Melania will premiere on January 29 at the Trump-Kennedy Center before its theatrical release the following day. The White House has not directly addressed the film but previously dismissed questions about the Trumps’ marriage by pointing to their work for the American people.
Over New Year’s Eve, the couple was seen together at Mar-a-Lago. Observers noted they seemed out of sync, further fuelling discussion about their dynamic.
The documentary’s release will put Melania Trump’s role in the spotlight once again. With its exclusive footage and high-profile director, the film is likely to reignite conversations about her public and private life. The premiere at the Trump-Kennedy Center marks the start of what could be a widely debated cultural moment.
