Melania Trump's 53rd Birthday May Be 'Difficult,' Source Says, as She Continues Grieving Late Mother (Exclusive)


A source tells PEOPLE that former First Lady Melania Trump will be celebrating a 'low-key' 53rd birthday on Friday, April 26, as she continues to grieve the death of her mother, Amalija Knavs, earlier this year.

Another source at the former president's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida agrees to PEOPLE that Melania's birthday will be spent out of the limelight, highlighting, "She will be with her family for a low-key celebration." While the Mar-a-Lago insider notes to PEOPLE that Melania is dealing with stressors, like her husband's legal issues — including his Manhattan criminal trial, ongoing this week — she "keeps to herself and does what she feels is important." Just over a week before that, sources told PEOPLE that Melania did not attend her husband's New Year's Eve event at Mar-a-Lago, with footage showing the former commander-in-chief acknowledging his wife's absence as she supported her mother, who was then hospitalized.
