She and Donald "sleep on separate floors"

Since she made the unusual choice to delay moving into the White House after President Donald Trump's inauguration, many have been curious about how First Lady Melania Trump is living. While their teenage son Barron ended the school year, the first lady remained behind in the family's New York City penthouse.

Although the mother and boy moved into the White House in June 2017, rumors about how much time she spent with the president continued. Bennett claims in his book Free that the White House's president and his wife not only have separate bedrooms, but also different levels where they rest.

According to the book, the first lady resides on the third floor in a two-room apartment that was formerly occupied by Marian Robinson, the mother of former first lady Michelle Obama, while the president sleeps in the master bedroom on the second level of the White House residence. A "glam room," where Trump does her daily hair and cosmetics, and a personal gym with a Pilates machine is located next to her bedroom.

Trump allegedly responded at the time that she "loved her space to read or be alone," even though reports that have been published since the account have painted the arrangement as an indication of marital problems.
