Mary Trump, the psychologist, author, and niece of former President Donald Trump, has shared publicly for the first time that she got married last October. The ceremony was intimate, attended by a small circle of family and close friends, she revealed.
In her Substack post titled “Reader, I Married Her”, Mary described her spouse as “not only the love of my life but my best friend,” though she chose not to disclose her wife’s name.
Reflecting on the impact of the marriage, she wrote, “Because I opened myself to the possibility that was held out to me almost a year ago, my other relationships have deepened in new and unexpected ways. I am happy in a way I never would have dared imagine.”
Mary included a black-and-white photo showing two women from waist to lower-leg, hand-in-hand, dressed elegantly. One wore a sleek, form-fitting black dress adorned with a subtle pearl-like chain down the front, while the other held a champagne flute, wearing a textured dress with swirling, almost brocade-like patterns. Another photo depicted 24 chairs set up on a lawn, tucked away behind tall hedge rows, suggesting the intimacy of the gathering.
Mary Trump is widely known as a vocal critic of her uncle, especially after publishing the 2020 bestseller Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man. She is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., Donald Trump’s eldest brother, who pursued a career as an airline pilot after falling out of favor with his father, Fred Trump Sr. Fred Trump Jr. passed away in 1981.
Addressing why she had kept her marriage private until now, Mary wrote, “There is more to the story, of course… and times continue to be challenging. The first eleven days of 2026 represent an escalation of the horrors we experienced as a country since January 20, 2025, that is as shocking as it is predictable.”
She concluded with a reflection on resilience: “There is a human impulse during dark times to turn away from the light, especially when the darkness encroaches in a way that feels inescapable. Luckily, the opposite impulse also exists; despite the increasing onslaught of deliberate cruelty, lost ground, and assaults on our very understanding of who we are over the last year, our better instincts prevail our instincts not only to subsist and survive, but to thrive.”
