Melania Trump’s film premiere is going ahead without some notable attendees: her family.
Barron Trump, 19, is not expected to join his mother, 55, for the premiere of Melania at the Kennedy Center on Thursday evening, despite appearing on the cast list of the documentary, the New York Post reports.
Ivanka Trump, 44, who has a famously rocky relationship with her stepmother, and her husband, Jared Kushner, 45, are skipping the affair too.
Eric Trump, 42, and his wife, Lara, 43, are also no-shows, though Donald Trump Jr., 48, is expected to walk the Kennedy Center’s black carpet with his fiancée, Bettina Anderson, 39.
A representative for Eric and Lara confirmed their absence to the Post, adding, “They are deeply proud of the First Lady and the remarkable story being shared. They are confident the premiere will be a tremendous success and regret missing what will undoubtedly be a wonderful evening.”
It’s unclear if Tiffany Trump, 32, Donald Trump’s only child with Marla Maples, will attend the premiere, which will be followed by dueling afterparties hosted by the producers and Don Jr.
The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
Barron, who lives at the White House while attending NYU’s Washington, D.C., campus, already saw the film during a private screening at the White House on Saturday, which was also attended by his father.
While the united Trump family may not be there, all but two Trump Cabinet members are expected to dutifully turn up for the premiere of the first lady’s $75 million documentary, which chronicles Melania’s 20 days leading up to becoming first lady once again.
Other VIP guests include former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Dr. Phil, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, along with a slate of Z-list celebrities, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film—which Jeff Bezos’ Amazon invested $75 million in—is expected to flop badly when it opens in theaters on Friday. CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported Thursday that Melania is projected to earn as little as $1 million on its opening weekend.
