The image of former U.S. President Donald Trump at the US Open, accompanied by a woman many have referred to as “Melania’s double,” has set social media ablaze with speculation, humor, and conspiracy theories. In the viral clip, Trump is seen arriving confidently, while the woman walking beside him appears visibly uncomfortable or distant, sparking intense curiosity among viewers.

Many commenters quickly questioned why Melania Trump herself was absent from such a high-profile event. This isn’t the first time her public absence has raised eyebrows, but the presence of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to her reignited long-standing rumors about the use of body doubles or stand-ins. Some online users even joked that the woman looked like she was “being held hostage” due to her body language.

However, reports have since clarified that the woman spotted with Trump is not Melania nor a body double — she is a known associate or public figure, and her identity has been confirmed. According to sources close to the former president, Melania chose not to attend for personal reasons and has largely retreated from public life to maintain her privacy since leaving the White House.
