The First Lady spoke about motherhood, reminding mothers to prioritize well-being and nurture themselves. "Your strength is the bedrock of a brighter future for our children," she spoke. "By caring for ourselves, we empower the next generation to thrive."
Their recent joint appearance follows a report claiming that the First Lady has spent fewer than two weeks at the White House since President Trump's re-election. The couple are frequently seen at their other residences during weekends, including Trump Tower in Manhattan, the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, and Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
