Melania Trump was absent from her family’s festive Christmas card because she’s been taking care of her ailing mother, Page Six has learned.
A source close to the Trumps tells us that the former first lady’s mom, Amalija Knavs, has been very sick in the hospital and Melania was by her side instead of at the party where the image was snapped.
“Melania has always been very devoted to her entire family,” a source close to Melania Trump elaborated to Fox News Digital.
“It should be no surprise that she spent this Christmas with her ailing mother.”
A rep for the Trump family didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, shared the image in question, which was taken at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., to her Instagram Story Tuesday.
