A WOMAN claiming to be Donald Trump’s wife has been nabbed while trying to hand deliver a letter to the president.
Christy Renee Kimbrell was arrested at Mar-a-Lago while Trump was heading to the UK for a state visit.

Palm Beach Police arrested Kimbrell, 49, and charged her with trespass, reported the Palm Beach Post.
The worrying incident comes just days after the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, and more than a year after Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally.
Kimbrell was taken into custody on September 16 and faces the single misdemeanor charge, according to court records, said the Post.
She was arrested at the president’s posh resort-like club in Palm Beach, Florida, after midday on Tuesday while claiming to be his wife.
However, Trump has been married to his third wife, Melania Trump, since 2005.
Cops were warned that an “unwanted guest” had arrived on the scene, reported NBC-affiliate WPTV.
A United States Secret Service agent informed officers that Kimbrell indicated she was keen to meet Trump, 79.
Police said they knew of Kimbrell from previous surprise visits.
When cops asked the Trump fan for her ID, she claimed her full name was “Christy Renee Trump.”
The woman claimed to officials that she had recently changed her surname from Kimbrell to Trump, the broadcaster added.
It was altered after the pair were “married,” she added.
Kimbrell was previously given a written warning in May, said WPTV, citing a probable cause affidavit.
In one incident, on May 16, she allegedly phoned Mar-a-Lago security and local police to find out how she could enter the property.
On May 18, she told police her name was “Christy Trump,” and married to the president.
Then just two days later, an Uber driver took Kimbrell to the Bath and Tennis Club, south of Trump’s property.
Who are President Donald Trump’s wives and children?
Donald Trump has been married three times and has five children:
With first wife Ivana Trump (m. 1977-1992):
- Donald Trump Jr (b. 1977)
- Ivanka Trump (b. 1981)
- Eric Trump (b. 1984)
With second wife Marla Maples (m. 1993-1999):
- Tiffany Trump (b. 1993)
With third wife Melania Trump (m. 2005-present):
- Barron Trump (b. 2006)
The president’s three eldest children have been involved in his political campaigns.
Donald Trump has 11 grandkids.
She insisted to Secret Service agents and security staff that her “husband” – Donald Trump – had asked her to “come back home,” said the affidavit.
BAIL SET
Kimbrell remains in custody at the Palm Beach County Jail, with her bail set at $10,000, according to jail records.
The Palm Beach County Public Defender’s Office is representing her, said the Palm Beach Post.
On the day that she tried to hand-deliver the letter, the president was flying to the UK with Melania.
The couple met the Princess of Wales and King Charles III at a lavish state banquet at Windsor Castle during their visit to the UK.
SMASHED CAR
Kimbrell’s arrest is the latest incident in a string of events involving people trying to get close to Trump.
In 2020, an opera singer smashed her car through Mar-a-Lago security checkpoints.
Sheriffs opened fire on an SUV being driven by an “obviously impaired” Hannah Roemhild, 30, as it ploughed through barriers at the members club.
An internal affairs investigation concluded in 2023 that two Florida sheriff’s deputies were justified when they fired numerous shots at the Connecticut opera singer.
Palm Beach County Detective Christopher Farron and Lt. John Paul Harvey followed agency firearms policy when they and a Secret Service agent shot at Roemhild, sheriff’s office investigators said.
Roemhild was having a mental health crisis when she sped her rented Jeep through the checkpoint.
Their bullets shattered the Jeep’s windows.
But Roemhild was not wounded during this violent episode – one of several incursions that happened at Mar-a-Lago during Trump’s first presidency.
Federal and state prosecutors reached plea agreements with Roemhild that found her not guilty by reason of insanity.
