There appear to be no reports that Martin, who has been mistaken for her boss’s wife and former First Lady Melania, has a partner
There appear to be no reports that Martin, who has been mistaken for her boss’s wife and former First Lady Melania, has a partner, and her carefully curated Instagram shows no sign of romance.
While she’s been in the spotlight in the courtroom, Martin has become a star in her own right, gaining tens of thousands of followers online as she shows off the many lavish perks that come with working with a prominent political figure.
She was first thrust into the public eye last year after a reporter actually mistook her for Melania, 53, as she entered the United States courthouse in Miami for Trump’s arraignment in a separate case.
At the time, Fox News host John Roberts showed a video of her walking into the government building over the air, telling viewers beforehand: “We have a video that we want to play here, Melania Trump recently enters the courthouse. .’
A chyron at the bottom of the video said, “Melania Trump arrives at court in Miami.”
However, DailyMail.com had previously reported that Melania was in New York at the time, where she was spotted leaving Trump Tower and heading to John Frieda’s hair salon.
A while later, John announced on air that he had made a mistake, confessing, “Apparently that wasn’t Melania.”
An Oklahoma native, Martin previously served as deputy director of communications for Trump’s Save America PAC, which was used primarily to send emails to supporters and organize his ongoing rallies across the country.

During his time in office, she served as his press aide — and she was the famed communications aide who gave the final press conference for the Trump administration.
She was one of the few who stayed with him after his term in the White House, and has since become a key member of his team.
Martin now serves as his deputy director of communications and is often seen with him at various events, including a variety of parties held at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
She has over 32,000 followers on Instagram, where she showcases her incredibly luxurious lifestyle.
She is usually seen dining at top restaurants, partying at celebrity hotspots, jetting off on glamorous vacations, traveling on the former president’s private plane, or enjoying beach days in Palm Beach, Florida, where she now appears to be based.

The fourth day of Trump’s trial on Friday comes after the 12-member jury was selected the day before.
Opening statements could take place Monday if prosecutors and defense attorneys finish picking six alternate jurors on Friday.
Prosecutors in District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office in Manhattan say Trump falsely recorded his 2017 reimbursement from then-Trump fixer Michael Cohen as legal fees on the books of his New York-based real estate company to cover up the hush money payment. which they call an illegal campaign contribution.
Forging a business document is a crime in New York. To get a jury to convict him of a felony, prosecutors must prove that Trump knew Cohen’s payment just before the 2016 election was illegal and that the former president tried to hide it.
Trump denies any such meeting with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying company records.
