Neither Melania Trump nor son Barron will be moving to the White House when Donald Trump becomes President of the United States in January.
The First Lady traditionally lives in the President’s Residence, in the main building of the White House.
But Donald Trump confirmed yesterday his wife will be staying in New York, at least until the summer.
The pair will remain in Mr Trump’s Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower, so that 10-year-old Barron can remain at his local private school.
“Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign," a source close to Mr Trump's transition team told the New York Post.
"The campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is hoping to keep disruption to a minimum.”
But Mr Trump doesn’t appear concerned about disrupting the lives of his fellow New Yorkers.
He’s made it clear that while he will be moving to Washington DC, he’ll be spending weekends at his gaudy, gold leaf adorned pad in Trump Tower.
That’s likely to cause chaos with locals, with Secret Service agents being forced to set up a security cordon around the building.
It’ll mean disruption for the thousands of buses and cars which drive past the entrance to the skyscraper each day and also for some of the building’s famous residents.
Bruce Willis and Cristiano Ronaldo are among the well known tenants in the building and will potentially face having their communications monitored by the secret service while they’re on the premises.
