Former first lady Melania Trump has reportedly renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with former President Donald Trump ahead of a possible second term as president, doing so under the radar.
A source described the agreement’s details to Page Six, saying negotiations took place over the past year. The new agreement didn’t solely come ahead of the former president’s third White House run, they claimed, adding that mounting legal concerns played a role.

“This agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles … [Donald] has suffered,” they said.
The source explained, “Trump remains very rich, but with mounting legal bills and judgments,” the agreement was amended to “provide a more solid future” for both Melania and Barron Trump.
“This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement,” the source added, noting that the negotiated agreement does not mean a divorce is imminent.
“It’s not that she threatened to leave him,” the source said, adding, “It’s definitely the underlying idea.”
According to the source, Donald Trump’s youngest child, 17-year-old Barron Trump, is Melania Trump’s chief concern when it comes to the agreement. A different source indicated to Page Six, “I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money, and also, from what I understand, there’s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”
The new version of the agreement reportedly provides for Melania Trump as well as Barron Trump and secures both money and property for the former first lady.
The Trump campaign didn’t provide confirmation or comment to the Washington Examiner.

“It’s so nasty and so mean,” he added.
It was previously reported that her absence was due to her preference for privacy and her prioritization of raising Barron.
