The stepmother-stepdaughter combo has long been rumored to have a close connection behind the scenes, but they’ve only ever appeared to get along in public.

For those who need reminding, Slovenian-born model Melania married billionaire and TV personality Donald Trump in 2005, following several years of on-and-off dating.

Melania was only 34 years old when she married her future president husband, who was 58.

Even more astonishing is that the father-of-five’s eldest daughter, entrepreneur Ivanka Trump, is only 11 years younger than his new bride.

Melania is now 54, and her stepdaughter is 43.

The site also claimed that at the time, Ivanka campaigned for Melania’s title to be changed from Office of the First Lady to Office of the First Family. Brutal, I know.

Melania, the mother of Trump’s youngest son, 18-year-old Barron, appears to have retaliated by establishing a hidden scandalous moniker for her stepdaughter, which she only uses in front of a select few individuals.

According to the same news outlet, the First Lady frequently refers to Ivanka as ‘the Princess’.

Discussing her role of step-mother to Ivanka and her husband’s three other children in her titular memoir recently, Melania explained: “My role is not to replace [her stepchildren’s] mothers but to nurture a supportive and amicable connection.

Elsewhere, she added: “It is essential to remember that each person is deserving of respect and understanding, regardless of disagreements.”

“I will be in the White House,” she stated. “And, you know, whenever I need to be in New York, I will be there. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach.”
