We’ve known for some time now that Donald and Melania Trump don’t have what most of us would refer to as a typical or even loving marriage. Frankly, it’s not a difficult deduction to make just from simply observing their behavior towards each other when they’re in public. And, of course, take into account that we’re only seeing them when they’re trying hard to put on a show for the public’s eye. There’s truly no telling just how bizarre it really gets behind closed doors.
Over the years, we have gotten brief, small glimpses into the couple’s private life, thanks to various insiders who have eventually turned on the Trump family and spilled their tea to the American public — such as former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham and Melania’s own former close, personal best friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.
One thing has been extremely consistent across these insider glimpses — Donald and Melania seem to barely be able to tolerate each other and only seem to remain married because it serves them both in a business transaction type of manner.

But now, we’ve found a comprehensive list of some of the most truly bizarre and disturbing rumors about the Trump marriage that have genuinely left our skin crawling.
The original deep dive came from SheKnows earlier this year in a piece called, 14 Bizarre Rumors About Donald & Melania Trump’s Marriage From Bedroom Rules to Divorce Plans.
Their comprehensive list covers everything from the married couple allegedly sleeping in separate beds to Melania reportedly using Donald’s endless scandals and legal woes to beef up her own prenup to the rumor that Melania and her son Barron never actually even lived in the White House throughout Donald’s 4-year term.
However, there was one section, in particular, that really made our stomachs churn.
According to an explosive piece from Vanity Fair entitled Inside the Trump Marriage: Melania’s Burden, cited by SheKnows, “things changed” between Donald and Melania after she got pregnant with their only child, Donald’s youngest son, Barron. Vanity Fair noted that Melania was 35 at the time of her pregnancy, an age that Donald once told Howard Stern is “checkout time” for women, meaning his wife was no longer the young, dewy fox he first met.
According to a source who visited Trump’s home later in Melania’s pregnancy, Donald made the remark that he only agreed to have a baby with his wife on the strict condition that Melania would get her pre-baby body back immediately.
“She promised him that everything would go back to the way it was,” the source said, adding that Trump’s remarks struck them as a “contract” with her wife regarding her own body.
The worst part? I’m literally not even surprised.
