Melania Trump is ever the proud mother as she shared unseen photos of her only child, Barron, ahead of the release of her highly anticipated memoir.
The 54-year-old took to Instagram to gush about motherhood and the joy it has brought her, posting a video that included an image of the young mom holding a baby Barron and an older picture of the two smiling for the camera.
"The challenges and rewards of motherhood, from sleepless nights to joyful milestones, bring immense fulfilment, which only a mother understands," she said in the video.
"The lessons I have learned from this experience are profound, and they have shaped me in ways I could never have imagined."
Melania gave birth to her only son with Donald Trump in 2006; the former president also has four older children: Ivanka, Donald Jr., Tiffany and Eric.
The Slovenian native's self-titled memoir will be released on October 1, just over a month from the US election in which Donald is the Republican candidate.

"It has become increasingly apparent that there are significant challenges to free speech, as demonstrated by the efforts to silence my husband," she said.
The second video focused on the alleged assassination attempt on Donald's life during his campaign trail this year. In this, she questions the role of law enforcement in subduing the shooter, claiming there is "more to this story".

Barron, 18, recently made headlines when he was spotted at the prestigious New York University, where he chose to attend college. His experience in the famously blue state is sure to be eventful.
A slew of professors at the teen's new college signed an open letter against his father in 2020, authored by Professor Deepak Malhotra of Harvard University.

The letter then called on business leaders to declare him unfit to lead and a "threat to the Republic".
Despite a busy year, Barron found time to appear on his father's campaign trail in July this year, attending a rally in Florida.

She teased her memoir as an insight into her life with the presidential hopeful and her journey to where she is today.
"May your experience reading my book be as enjoyable as the writing process was for me," she wrote this year on X.
