Melania Trump this week immediately shut down a question about whether she’d return to modeling anytime soon — insisting she and her president-elect husband have more important issues on their plate.
The incoming first lady, who had a long international career as a model before her husband dove into politics, was asked by “Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday whether she would agree to be on the cover of a fashion magazine if asked.
She indicated that she is not too keen on posing for any photoshoots, at least for now.
“Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before,” Melania said.
“And, you know, for me, we have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine.
“I think life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover,” the 54-year-old mom added.
Kilmeade jokingly replied, “Can I retract my question?”
Melania was born in Slovenia and started her modeling career in Europe before moving to New York City in the mid-’90s.
She and the future president met at the Kit Kat Club during New York Fashion Week in 1998 when she was 28 and he was 52.
She famously posed nude for a French adult magazine in 1995 and went full frontal again on Donald Trump’s private jet for British GQ in 2000.
Earlier this year, she defended her nude modeling.
“Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work?” she said in an ad for her bestselling memoir, “Melania.”
“The more pressing question is, why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?” Melania said.
