President Donald Trump has today been sworn in as President of the United States for the second time, with third wife Melania Trump watching on as her husband swore his solemn oath.

For many couples, this would be an extraordinary moment, but many couldn’t help but pick up on an awkwardness between the pair.

Indeed, as Trump, 78, attempted to kiss Melania, 54, on the cheek – just before making his oath – her black and white wide-brimmed hat appeared to get in the way of the affectionate gesture. Then, as the world looked on, the couple shared an air kiss instead, which one body language expert believes to be telling.

On behalf of Covers, body language expert Inbaal Honigman remarked: “The Trumps’ awkward air kiss as Donald approaches Melania upon entry is a case study in misalignment.

“He’s clearly unsure how to show affection towards his wife in the presence of her impressive hat, but neither of them attempts to solve the situation. Melania could have angled her face to present her cheek to her husband. Donald could have bent a little lower to reach his wife’s cheek. But neither of them did it.

“Trump may have wanted to demonstrate marital bliss in greeting his missus with a kiss when he walked in, but their uncertain interaction ended up showing that they don’t respond naturally to one another. In fact, Trump’s congratulating hand on Usha Vance after JD’s swearing-in is more personal and kind than his kiss for Melania. “

Inbaal also noticed a change in Melania’s body language when compared to Trump’s first inauguration back in 2017, sharing: “Melania’s body language during the 2025 inauguration is still and neutral. She sits still in her model pose, her facial expression neutral, not drawing any attention to herself, letting all attention be on her husband. In comparison, Melania of 2017 flashed smiles and waved around, displaying a more friendly persona to the crowds. “

American politician JD Vance has today been sworn in as vice president of the United States, with his ‘spirit guide’ wife Usha Vance in attendance at the Inauguration.

Vance, who will serve under incoming President Donald Trump, has previously spoken about the important role Usha, 39, has played in his personal and professional development.

Now, the couple will be moving into the vice president’s mansion on the grounds of Washington’s U. S. Naval Observatory – a place they will call home for the next four years.

Until now, Usha has kept a relatively low profile, but as the Second Lady, she’ll now be at the very centre stage of US politics. But who is Usha Vance, and what role has she played in her husband’s rise to power?

Vance, who detailed his rise from working-class boy to lawyer in his 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy, first locked eyes with Usha during their time as students at the prestigious Yale Law School.

Remembering his first impressions of Usha in his autobiography, Vance wrote: “She seemed some sort of genetic anomaly, a combination of every positive quality a human being should have: bright, hardworking, tall, and beautiful. “

Sharing how he “fell hard” for his classmate after an assignment brought them together, Vance added: “In a place that always seemed a little foreign, Usha’s presence made me feel at home. “

Before attending law school, studious Usha had earned her undergraduate degree from Yale University, as well as a master of philosophy at the University of Cambridge.

Top student Usha was also there to help when Vance struggled to get to grips with the etiquette expected at a top school like Yale. Describing Usha as his “spirit guide”, Vance remembered how, while at a posh dinner, his future wife was on hand to tell him which cutlery to use, while reminding him that “every perceived slight is not cause for a blood feud. ”

Many years later, in July 2024, middle-class Usha reflected on the differences between her and her husband’s upbringing at the Republican National Convention. Introducing her husband, Usha told attendees: “My background is very different from JD’s. I grew up in San Diego, in a middle-class community with two loving parents, both immigrants from India, and a wonderful sister.

“That JD and I could meet at all, let alone fall in love and marry, is a testament to this great country. “

The college sweethearts went on to marry in 2014, one year after graduation, and have since welcomed three children: Ewan Blaine, seven, Vivek, four, and Mirabel Rose, three.

After law school, Usha, who was a registered Democrat voter up until 2014 as per USA Today, clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, back when the Republican was an appeals court judge in Washington. She then spent a year as a law clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts, also a Republican.

In the years that followed, Usha built a successful career as a trial lawyer for the law firm Munger, Tolles and Olson, working from its San Francisco and D. C. offices. Shortly after Vance was picked as Trump’s running mate, she handed in her notice.

Munger, Tolles & Olson made the following statement at the time: “Usha has informed us she has decided to leave the firm. Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career. ”

Until recently, the Vance family lived in Cincinnati, where Usha served on the Cincinnati Symphony Board of Directors outside of her hectic work schedule.

The daughter of Indian immigrants, Usha today makes history as the White House’s first Indian American second lady, as well as the first Hindu second lady.

Discussing her faith in a June 2024 interview with Fox News, Usha shared: “My parents are Hindu and that was one of the things that made them such good parents, that make them really, very good people. And so, I think I’ve seen that, the power of that in my own life. “

Usha Vance is also the youngest second lady to enter the White House since Harrry S. Truman was in the Oval Office, back when then-38-year-old Jane Hadley Barkley, wife of Vice President Alben Barkley, was appointed in 1949.

In his bestselling memoir, Vance made it clear how much he credits Usha in shaping his successful life. He penned: “Even at my best, I’m a delayed explosion — I can be defused, but only with skill and precision. It’s not just that I’ve learned to control myself but that Usha has learned how to manage me. ”

Strictly Come Dancing winners Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell had revealed their huge new project – after being forced to miss the current UK show tour.

The 47-year-old stand-up comedian and 35-year-old Australian dance expert Dianne lifted the glitterball trophy just one month ago, after wowing the judges, the live studio audience, and viewers at home. Dianne won additional praise for her work during the 2024 season due to the fact she had to account for Chris’s blindness for each of their routines and to ensure he could shine on the dancefloor while keeping him safe.

Fans have been disappointed over the news that they had been forced to miss the currently Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2025 due to scheduling conflicts. Chris had been due to be on tour last month, but his involvement in the BBC caused him to push his dates back and they conflict with the live tour dates.

But fans will be able to enjoy Chris and Dianne’s blossoming friendship as they have a new project together. They have been teasing plans – with the dance professional stating online last week: “Nine days and counting …. ? ? ? ? ? ? Thats all you get for now. “

And now the duo have revealed they are recording an audio show together. In a shared video that they posted on their respective Instagram grids, the dance champions wrote: “Want more of this nonsense? Chris and Dianne are going to be hooking up for a weekly publicly available catch up, otherwise known as a PODCAST.

“First episode out in just four days and counting. If you’ve got any questions for us, put them here and we will try to get around to answering some on the pod See you all on Thursday. We can’t wait! “

Teasing details of their debut episode, Chris added: “And of course we will have to start with a recap of that final won’t we. Can’t wait partner! “

Accompanying footage showed the pair larking around together addressing a camera with varying levels of enthusiasm. At one point Dianne suggests that she will reveal the contents of her bag in a segment – prompting a very dry response from Chris – while other clips showed them laughing and joking together.

The announcement has been welcomed by fans who rushed to the comments section to share their happiness. One wrote: “omg this is going to be so fun! ! can’t wait to listen, it’s going to be like strictly never finished! “

Another typed: “Amazing news about the podcast! ” And a further fan commented: “We’re looking forward to this! ” – sparking a reaction from Dianne herself who responded with a string of red heart emojis.

Fans had been sad to learn Chris wouldn’t be taking part in the current in the current Strictly tour. The show kicked off in Birmingham last week and is due to keep the stars and professionals from the series on the road until mid-February.

He explained previously: “I’m afraid I will not be able to do the Strictly tour. My own tour was meant to be on the road in September and a lot of dates were moved to Jan and Feb to accommodate doing #Strictly. It’s unfortunate as it’s been so much fun, but my own dates can’t be moved for a second time. “

Conor McGregor was warned off hugging Logan and Jake Paul’s mother by a US comedian.

Theo Von told the UFC star to ‘get your hands off Pam’ as he hugged her on a bus. The clip that has since gone viral saw Theo, 44, was seen sitting a number of rows ahead of Conor, Jake, Logan and Pam. He turned around to issues the sportsman the playful warning as he and Pam embraced in the back seats.

Jake and Logan were seen laughing at the comment and Conor duly obliged while sharing the jovial moment with the influencers. Logan and Jake took a selfie shot of the quartet as Theo shot the comment towards the back.

Laughing hysterically, Logan joked: “I’m gonna kill him,” as they all shared the joke. The group were heading on their way to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Jake took to Twitter/X to share his own image, with Conor and mother Pam smiling. In front, Jake and Logan sport bemused expressions.

It comes as Conor is linked to fight Logan in India. And Conor recently fuelled the speculation. The Irishman wrote online: “The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon. “

The potential clash is said to be worth in the region of $250million for each fighter. Logan, whose nickname is ‘The Maverick’, recently confirmed that he was solely dedicated to the WWE. However, he admits a bout with Conor would interest him.

He is said to have pleaded to Dana White’s boss, UFC and WWE chief Ari Emanuel, to be permitted to take on ‘The Notorious. ‘ In a YouTube vlog titled ‘Am I Fighting Conor McGregor? ‘, Logan had his say on the potential event. The opening sequence referenced the stories that had been written about a potential bout before cutting to a scene which appeared to show McGregor speaking on loudspeaker to Paul.

“This can happen my man for real,” an Irish voice is heard saying, while Paul holds a mobile phone. “This can and will happen. “

Conor’s appearance at the inauguration alongside Nigel Farage has led to a backlash online. One user wrote: “You were an absolute joke. Now you’re worse. You seem to get worse and worse. ” Another commented: “Ewww. @Nigel_Farage what are you f*****g doing, for f**** sake? ” While a third said: “Just, when you thought Conor couldn’t go lower. ” A fourth wrote: “Hang your head in shame. “

Following his victory in the US election, Donald Trump is moving back into the White House with his wife, Melania Trump – but their marriage and his very public love life has been far from uncomplicated.

Throughout his career as a reality TV star and business mogul, Trump has consistently cultivated a reputation as a ladies’ man. With his infamous boasts of grabbing women “by the p**sy” and a clear agenda to curtail abortion rights, the results of his presidency were undoubtedly a devastating setback for feminism.

The 47th President of the United States has been married three times and has even owned the prestigious beauty pageant Miss Universe from 1996 to 2016. According to his biographer, Wayne Barrett, Trump went so far as to try and persuade Playboy to feature a spread called The Girls of Trump, which would showcase his female employees in provocative poses.

However, his relationships with women are not without controversy, with at least 26 women accusing him of sexual misconduct since 1970. In this in-depth exploration, we will delve into the details of Trump’s interactions with women, including his marriages, the allegations against him, and the numerous rumours surrounding his affairs.

Ivana Trump

Trump’s first wife was Ivana Trump, who played a significant role in his early empire. The Czech-American model and socialite relocated to the US in the 1970s and met Trump in 1976 during a night out with friends. In her memoir Raising Trump, she reminisced about their initial meeting, highlighting how he kept it casual with “no funny stuff,” understanding that flirting wouldn’t impress her.

They tied the knot in 1977 and quickly rose to prominence as one of New York’s influential couples, regularly making headlines throughout the eighties as glamorous stalwarts of high society. Ivana was more than just a trophy wife; she was a key player at The Trump Organization, overseeing properties like the Plaza Hotel and cementing her position in Donald’s business realm.

Together, they had three children – Donald Jr. , Ivanka, and Eric – before scandal shook their marriage. Their highly publicised divorce in 1990 came after Ivana discovered Trump’s affair with model Marla Maples. Post-divorce, Ivana embraced her newfound freedom, launching fashion and beauty lines and writing self-help books and columns. She remained a public figure until her death in 2022 at the age of 73.

Marla Maples

Trump’s steamy affair with model Marla Maples dominated the scandal sheets in the early ’90s, culminating in a high-drama showdown with then-wife Ivana on the snowy slopes of Aspen. It was during this infamous confrontation that Maples allegedly uttered what would become a notorious line, “the best sex I’ve ever had,” sending shockwaves through the media.

The fallout devastated Ivana, who confided to Vanity Fair, “The children are all wrecks. Ivanka now comes home from school crying, ‘Mommy, does it mean I’m not going to be Ivanka Trump anymore? ‘ Little Eric asks me, ‘Is it true you are going away and not coming back? ‘”.

Following Trump’s 1992 divorce from Ivana, he wasted no time in going public with Marla, tying the knot in 1993 and welcoming their child, Tiffany. However, their romance dwindled swiftly, leading to their separation by 1997, with Marla emerging as yet another exclamation point in Trump’s headline-riddled romantic saga.

Melania Knauss

The ever-indomitable Trump didn’t stay unattached for long. Before his divorce from Marla was even finalized in 1999, he crossed paths with Melania Knauss, his future First Lady, at a swanky New York Fashion Week party. Curiously, Trump wasn’t alone that evening; he’d arrived with Norwegian heiress Celina Midelfart, yet fate had other plans.

While she was in the bathroom, Trump made his move on Melania, asking her for her number. In a 2016 Harper’s Bazaar interview, the former supermodel recounted the episode, “He wanted my number, but he was with a date, so of course I didn’t give it to him. I said, ‘I am not giving you my number; you give me yours, and I will call you. ‘ I wanted to see what kind of number he would give me – if it was a business number, what is this? I’m not doing business with you. “

As it turned out, Trump presented her with a myriad of his contacts, furnishing even his office digits at the swank Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, alongside his New York home number and more. The couple struck an on-again, off-again relationship, eventually tying the knot in January 2005. The next year, Melania gave birth to their sole offspring, Barron Trump.

Stormy Daniels

Amidst all this, adult film star Stormy Daniels came forward alleging she had a fling with Trump not long after his nuptials with Melania. Later, as Trump revved up his 2016 presidential bid, Stormy claimed to have been hushed via a $130,000 payment from Trump’s then-legal eagle, Michael Cohen, to zip it about the escapade.

The hush money arrangement, uncovered in 2018, sparked a major scandal. Trump’s team claimed it was to avoid “campaign distractions. ” However, Cohen later testified that it was an attempt to influence the election.

This led to significant legal scrutiny of the payment and Trump’s subsequent business record entries, which allegedly concealed the payout. On May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over the payment – making him the first former president in history convicted of a crime.

Stormy expressed her dismay about Trump’s return to office while appearing on Good Morning Britain at the end of last year. She said, “How is someone who’s found guilty or even charged with so many crimes even allowed to run for a political office? “

Karen McDougal

Playboy model Karen McDougal also alleged an affair with Trump, starting in June 2006, just three months after Barron was born. The Wall Street Journal reported that American Media, Inc. (AMI), owner of the National Enquirer, paid Karen $150,000 for exclusive rights to her story but never published it.

Many speculated this was to suppress the story, but AMI claimed it paid Karen not “to kill damaging stories about” Trump, but for “exclusive life rights to any relationship she has had with a then-married man” and “two years’ worth of her fitness columns and magazine covers”.

Although Karen has never confirmed the alleged affair with Donald Trump – who staunchly denies any such encounter – she has discussed her regret over signing a restrictive agreement. “It took my rights away,” she divulged to journalist Ronan Farrow. “I don’t know what I’m allowed to talk about. I’m afraid to even mention his name. “

Sexual misconduct allegations

Several women in recent years have come forward accusing Trump of varying degrees of sexual assault or impropriety. In 2016, during Trump’s presidential campaign, Jessica Leeds recounted to the New York Times an incident when seated next to Trump on a flight in the early 1980s.

She said he “grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt” and described him as being “like an octopus”, stating that “his hands were everywhere. ” Trump has denied all such claims.

In 2019, columnist E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump has always vehemently denied this claim.

However, in May 2023, a jury ruled that Trump was responsible for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million (£3. 92m) in damages. He was also found guilty of defamation, and in 2023, a jury ordered him to pay $83. 3 million (£65. 4m) in damages.

In 2016, People magazine’s Natasha Stoynoff alleged that Trump “shoved” his tongue “down her throat” after pushing her against a wall at Mar-a-Lago in 2005. Natasha had been there to interview him and his heavily pregnant wife, Melania. Trump insisted he had never met her and labelled the story as “FAKE NEWS”, despite a photograph of the journalist with him and Melania being made public.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, a show which Trump was the star of, accused him of kissing and groping her “very aggressively” and “thrusting” his genitals at her in 2007 at The Beverly Hills Hotel. She pursued a lawsuit against Trump, who has always denied the allegations but dropped it in 2021.

Additionally, contestants from the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants alleged that in 2006, Trump harassed and grabbed them without their consent – claims Trump also denied. Despite these controversies, Melania Trump has consistently shown support for her husband.

Rumours suggest they lead largely separate lives; however, she was present during the US election result-tallying. In a tender moment, the President halted his victory speech in Florida to plant a kiss on his wife’s cheek, expressing to his supporters, “I just wanted to thank her. “
