Melissa has always kept her personal life out of the spotlight. As a result, there is almost no information regarding where she is now and what she is doing in 2022. 

We know that she is married and has children. However, there is nothing to be known about Melissa and her family. They have maintained a low-key life. No one knows where Melissa is now or how she looks at 59 years old. That has led to speculation that Melissa is dead. 

But Melissa is not dead and now lives happily with her husband. She has been a Twitter user since 2014, and she has been spotted sharing a lot of information from all around the world.
