Former US President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump are celebrating a major personal milestone, 21 years of marriage. The couple, who wed in January 2005, marked their anniversary on Thursday, January 22.
Though their schedules kept them apart during the day, the two are expected to reunite later in the evening to mark the occasion privately. The White House's social media pages wished the couple a happy anniversary.
Anniversary dinner planned after Davos trip
Donald Trump, 79, is currently attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. According to reports by Fox News, he is set to return to Washington, D.C., on Thursday night, where he plans to have dinner with Melania Trump, 55.
A look back at their lavish 2005 wedding
The Trumps' wedding in 2005 was one of the most talked-about society events of the year. The grand ceremony and reception were hosted at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and welcomed around 350 guests. Several prominent figures attended, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Sources familiar with the couple's dynamic have previously suggested that Donald and Melania Trump maintain largely independent routines outside of official events. While they continue to appear together on formal occasions, they are said to lead separate day-to-day lives once public duties conclude. However, one shared interest reportedly connects them — a mutual appreciation for interior design, a hobby both are said to enjoy.
Amid Greenland talks, Trump finds time to spend a day with his wife
Meanwhile, United States President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he had reached a "framework of a future deal" on Greenland with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
He also withdrew his threat to impose 10 per cent trade tariffs on eight European nations, objecting to the sale of Greenland to the US, and tariffs that were set to rise to 25 per cent later in the year if no deal was reached.
Greenland is a self-governing territory that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Both Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly stated that the island is not for sale.
In a bid to defuse rising transatlantic tensions, Rutte met with Trump in Davos, Switzerland, during the annual World Economic Forum summit. During his speech at Davos on Wednesday, Trump reiterated that he wants to acquire Greenland but ruled out taking the Arctic island by force.

On Thursday, Rutte told reporters that NATO countries would ramp up security in the Arctic as part of the agreement.
What has Trump said about the framework for a future deal?
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump said that following a "very productive" meeting with Rutte, he had formed the "framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic region".
Trump added that under this deal, he would not impose tariffs on the eight European countries that have opposed his attempt to acquire Greenland.
He also said that additional discussions are being held about "the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland".
The Golden Dome is Washington's proposed multilayered missile defence programme, designed to counter aerial threats. Trump announced the project in May 2025. Under the plan, the US will deploy missile interceptors in space to shield against ballistic and hypersonic threats. The project is expected to be completed by the end of Trump's term in 2029.
