US First Lady Melania Trump is “focused on being a mum” and is working on future projects, according to her spokesperson. The update comes after adult-film star Stormy Daniels recently detailed her alleged sexual relationship with US President Donald Trump.

“She’s focused on being a mum and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects,” White House Director of Communications for the first lady Stephanie Grisham reportedly said when asked if Melania watched Daniels’s “60 Minutes” interview.

Grisham also tweeted in defence of the first couple’s 12-year-old son Barron Trump, saying that the media enjoys “salacious gossip” and speculation. She, however, wanted to remind people that there is a minor child involved.

Daniels’ interview reportedly gave "60 Minutes" its largest audience in 10 years. The controversial figure has been claiming that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, a year after his wedding with the now FLOTUS. She added that she and Trump had sexual relations only once.

In CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” she said she and her infant daughter were threatened in 2011, discouraging her from talking about her alleged relationship with Trump. She said that an unknown man approached her while she was in a parking lot on her way to a fitness class.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she was told to leave Trump alone and to forget the story. She added that the unknown man looked at her daughter and said it would be a shame “if something happened to her mum.”

Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, recently spoke with broadcast network channels. In an interview with NBC, he said the man who threatened Daniels had to be someone related to Trump or Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

A source said to be close to the first lady told PEOPLE that she is “furious” over the controversies engulfing her husband’s presidency.

White House spokesman Raj Shah revealed that the POTUS “doesn’t believe” that any of the claims Daniels made in her interview were accurate. The White House has denied Trump’s alleged affair with both Daniels and even with former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal.
