When we last checked in on the great\u00a0love affair that is the marriage of Donald<\/strong> and Melania Trump,<\/strong> we learned<\/a> that the former first lady\u2019s take on her husband\u2019s fourth indictment was, effectively, sucks to be you, pal.<\/em> (A\u00a0\u201csocial source\u201d connected to Melania\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0People<\/em>\u00a0that \u201cthis fourth indictment is another problem for her husband,\u201d and not a problem \u201cfor her.\u201d) And six weeks later, it appears that the romance is still firing on the exact same amount of cylinders.<\/p>\n Page Six reports<\/a> that, according to a source, Melania spent the last year renegotiating the terms of her prenuptial agreement with the ex-president, and that her new \u201cpostnup\u201d is now in place. According to one source, the former FLOTUS wanted a new deal not because there\u2019s a possibility she\u2019ll have to move back into the White House, i.e., her least favorite place<\/a> on earth<\/a>, but because she\u2019s worried about how much money will be left over for her and her son after Trump is done paying his various legal bills and damages.\u00a0\u201cThis agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles\u2026[Donald] has suffered,\u201d a source told the outlet.<\/p>\n The ex-president has already been ordered<\/a> to pay author E. Jean Carroll<\/strong> $5 million, and the New York attorney general\u2014who scored a win this week when a judge ruled<\/a> Trump had engaged in massive fraud\u2014is seeking $250 million in a civil suit. Then there are the lawyers he has to pay\u00a0to defend him in four separate criminal cases, which obviously do not come cheap.\u00a0\u201cTrump remains very rich, but with mounting legal bills and judgments,\u201d the source said, noting that the renegotiated prenup would \u201cprovide a more solid future\u201d for Melania and Barron<\/strong> should the couple go their separate ways.<\/p>\n Did Melania actually say the words, \u201cGive me more money or I\u2019ll leave your ass\u201d? No, a source told Page Six, but only because it was clearly implied.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s not that she threatened to leave him,\u201d the source said. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely the underlying idea.\u201d According to another person familiar with the matter, the former first lady wanted the new deal to \u201cprovide her with more money,\u201d including cash and property, \u201cand also\u2026there\u2019s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.\u201d<\/p>\n As a person familiar with the matter told Page Six,\u00a0\u201cThis is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement.\u201d Representatives for the Trumps did not reply to Page Six\u2019s request for comment. After Trump was inaugurated, the new first lady delayed\u00a0moving with him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue so she could \u201camend her financial arrangement,\u201d\u00a0The\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u2019s\u00a0Mary Jordan<\/strong>\u00a0reported<\/a>. (According to Jordan, the couple’s original prenup had not been that generous to Melania, but by 2017\u00a0\u201cshe had been with Trump longer than either of his ex-wives and had bargaining power: Her perceived calming effect on him was so great that Trump\u2019s pals and at least one of Trump\u2019s adult children exhorted her to come to the White House as soon as possible.\u201d)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
