First Lady Melanie Trump and 11-year-old son, Barron, will move to the White House this summer as originally planned, Fox News reports.
The Trumps announced last November that Barron would finish out the school year in New York before moving to D.C. Melania Trump has since split her time between New York, D.C. and Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Fla., where she has joined her husband numerous occasions since his inauguration in late January.
"Mrs. Trump said on the campaign trail that she wanted to be a traditional first lady like Michelle Obama or Pat Nixon," Andrew Och, a White House historian and author known as The First Ladies' Man, told Fox.
"Melania Trump bringing and unifying her family under one roof of the White House is a very smart move, and a very traditional move," he also said. "The fact she was protecting (Barron) before this, by letting him finish out his school year, is not unprecedented. It is just a little bit unusual that they didn't move into the White House immediately after the inauguration."
Melania is reportedly moving into the White House sometime in June, reports NBC News, and she has been "preparing the residence" for some time by selecting furnishings for the private quarters" that suit the family's needs and tastes," sources said.
