Sources close to the first lady told the outlet that she'd been preparing her move to the family's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
"She just wants to go home," a source familiar with Trump's thinking told CNN.
News of the plans comes with President Donald Trump continuing to refuse to publicly acknowledge his election defeat. Multiple news reports have noted in recent days that the president appears to be renovating his Florida home and setting up a dramatic exit from the White House on Inauguration Day.
Melania Trump, on the other hand, has been focused on her departure and has sent shipments to Florida and Trump's New York properties, CNN reported. One source told the outlet the couple's 14-year-old son, Barron, would complete his school year in Florida.
The first lady is also said to be considering ways to build on her image once she loses her title. Sources familiar with the discussions said she'd been thinking about authoring a coffee-table book on White House hospitality history and perhaps maintaining her "Be Best" public-awareness campaign on children's issues.
