Melania Trump returned to public life with a smile this weekend, waving and greeting guests from Donald Trump's side during a black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago, her first major event since her mother died last month.

Her presence at The Trumpettes, a ball held in the former president's honor, was notable. The former first lady has been absent from her husband's side as he wages his multiple legal battles and campaigns for a second term in the White House.

One guest described her in 'good spirits' and close to Trump throughout the night. Pictures and video posted to social media show dressed in a fashionable black pantsuit, smiling broadly.

Trump was visibly happy to see her there. But what remains unclear if she will give him a boost in other areas of his life, notably the 2024 general election and his numerous court cases.

The former first lady is popular among the MAGA faithful. The crowd cheers loudly whenever Trump mentions her name during one of his campaign rallies. 

She could also make him appear more sympathic to a jury if she were to sit by him in a courtroom. She has never spoken publicly about the events of the January 6th insurrection - she was in the White House that day - or Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. 

Neither Melania Trump's spokesperson nor the Trump campaigned responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment.

While it would be unlikely for Melania to appear by Donald's side in the courtroom - reports indicate she sees his legal issues as his problem and not hers - if Trump wins a second term in the White House, she would return as first lady.

Melania spent most of her previous time in the White House focused on her son. She helped maintain the stately home and did a few events related to her causes but, for the most part, was a publicly silent first lady.

On Saturday night, she was visible but didn't speak. 

Trump, link palsu meanwhile, was attentive to his wife. He kept an eye on her as he walked through the cheering crowd, often turning his head to make sure she was nearby

And the couple, who just celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, gave a rare public display of affection.

Trump gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek before he addressed the crowd, calling her the country's 'great first lady.' Guests described him as attentive to her.

'She seemed quiet but in very good spirits. She was smiling the whole time,' Delia Hickman, the creater of the 'Momma Loves Fashion' blog, told DailyMail.com after she attended the gala.

'What I noticed in particular was that although everyone was waiting for Trump to make his grand entrance, when he walked in and waved at everyone, he made sure to turn to her and acknowledge that she was there! 

'After he made his way to the podium, she was there standing by the stage the whole time, smiling. She waved and said hello to everyone that was close enough to reach out to her. She was all smiles. There was a look of great sense of peace on her face,' Hickman noted. 

The Trumps entered the gala, held in the ornate white and gold ballroom of Mar-a-Lago, to screams and cheers. Vivek Ramaswamy and his wife Apoorva were at their side.

The lovefest continued in the days afterward.

On Valentine's Day, Trump sent a special fundraising message to his followers, written as a love letter to Melania.

‘Hi, this is a Valentine's Day letter to my beautiful wife, Melania!,' it starts.

‘Dear Melania, I LOVE YOU!'

He then thanks her for his support: ‘Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side. You've always supported me through everything. I wouldn't be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth.'

He closed out by signing his full name: ‘You will always mean the world to me, Melania! From your husband with love, Donald J. Trump.'

It's the latest public display in a marriage that has fascinated the American people.

They had separate bedrooms in the White House. And Melania Trump would display her anger with her husband in her own way - such as when she decided not to travel with him to Davos after reports emerged of his affair with porn star Stormy Daniels.

But she also has stood by, notably during the 2016 when she defended after the infamous ‘Access Hollywood' tape emerged.

Melania has slowly returned to the crowded life of the Trump's Palm Beach residence after the death of Amalija Knavs. She and her mother were very close and Melania spent much time in the hospital nursing her. 

Knavss died January 9 at the age of 78. Melania spoke at her mother's memorial service in Palm Beach and travelled to Slovenia for her mother's burial.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is close to the Trumps, was at Melania's mom's funeral.

'She was heartbroken,' he said of the former first lady. 'Big loss. And she's tough so I'm sure she'll, you know, she'll keep helping the country in her own way. But yeah, I mean, that bond was incredible.'

There have been questions about the state of the Trump's relationship. 

She and her husband travelled to and from her mother's funeral in separate cars. And Melania was not present when Donald Trump spoke to the nation last April after he was arraigned in the first set of what now are 91 felony charges.

Notably, the former president omitted mention of Melania in a minute-long segment of the speech in which he spoke poignantly and lovingly about his family.

During the Christmas and New Year's holiday, Melania Trump was notably missing from photos of the family celebrating the occasions. Donald Trump said she was tending to her mother, who was 'very ill.' 

'It's a tough one, very tough one,' he said at a New Year's Eve celebration at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, noting Melania was with her mother at a hospital in Miami.

Melania's father Victor remains at Mar-a-Lago, where the Knavs had a suite of rooms. He and Melania joined the former president for dinner a few weeks ago.

Melania Trump was at Donald Trump's side when he announced a second White House bid in November - and hasn't been on the campaign trail since

But Saturday's gala marked Melania's first political appearance in over a year.  


Over the past 12 months, Melania has been more notable for where she's not been. And her absence sparked a swath of rumors: that she was not supporting Trump's presidential bid, that she didn't like political life, that she was focused on her son Barron.

Since the Trumps' exit from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Melania has stayed mainly behind the closed doors of her three homes: the lavish New York City apartment in Trump tower, the Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, and the private home on the grounds of Trump Bedminster Golf Course.

She hasn't appeared at one of Donald Trump's campaign events since he announced his 2024 bid at Mar-a-Lago on November 15th, 2022. 

She was not at Donald Trump's side during any of his court appearances in New York, Florida, Washington D.C. or Georgia. 

She was not present at Mar-a-Lago, the night he defended himself after his first arraignment. She was not with Trump at Bedminster, when he railed against the federal charges against him in the classified documents case.
