Donald Trump and first lady Melania’s only son, Barron, is said to have snared his first girlfriend drawing attention to his lavish life as the son of a US President and rumored billionaire.
Despite his father’s propensity for the spotlight, Barron’s mother has guarded the him jealously, keeping him as far from the spotlight as possible.
Highlights
- Barron Trump reportedly has his first girlfriend, drawing renewed attention to his ultra-private life.
- He lived in a 10,996-square-foot Trump Tower apartment from age four, complete with gold decor.
- Despite lavish perks and elite schooling, Barron remained shielded from the public eye.
Aside from a normal life–and, until now–a girlfriend, he has wanted for nothing in his childhood.

Born in March 2006, Barron was dubbed the billion-dollar boy for a while.
According to Hello!, he was showered with gifts from society’s upper crust and even gifted a golden stroller complete with its own chandelier.
But the bling accessory paled in comparison to what his father had in store for him: an entire floor in a $100 million penthouse above his parent’s quarters in Manhattan.

The suite was reported to have a kitchen, nursery, lounge, and quarters for Melania and his minders.
Real estate company Realtor.com reported in November 2022 that the quarters, located in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, occupies 10,996 square feet.
A photoshoot of the apartment depicted a 4-year-old Barron surrounded by a crystal and gold–gilded living space.

As for his education, the first son has just finished his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
Prior to that, he spent three years at Oxbridge Academy in Florida’s West Palm Beach, where it costs the parents of students $41,500 per year.
Having enrolled there in 2021, his peers claim that he was almost invisible—a quality attributed to the staff NDA policy in place and his fake name, Jack.

Prior to that, in 2015, he attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, from the sixth grade—an establishment that reportedly charged $23,000 for pre-K students and over $40,000 per annum for grades 9-12, per the Florida Times Union.
Baron started his elementary schooling at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
A subpoena in 2021 unearthed that tuition fees at the establishment amounted to “over $50,000.”

Melania, for most parts, shielded Barron from the media, but she did offer a peek into his life in 2013.
In an interview with ABC News, she said “[Barron] is not a sweatpants child,” claiming that he liked to suit up like his father.
At the time she was selling a skin product named Caviar Complex C6. She told the outlet that it “smells very, very fresh,” and that she used it on Barron, saying: “I put it on him from head to toe. He likes it!”
But even with this scrutiny of his private life, the public and the media are still unable to out Baron’s love interest.

The closest the media has come is the whisper by an unnamed source to the right-wing News Nation outlet that “Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot.”
The statement gave rise to news of an alleged earlier puppy love back in elementary school.
A netizen by the name of @madditude claimed “I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first bf. When Trump was elected, he brought the entire class to the White House.”

While Maddie’s claims remain unconfirmed, sources at the time admitted that there was indeed a fifth-grade tour after President Trump won his first term.
Maddie claimed that Barron was a stand-up guy—and her first kiss.
Social media, as usual, has mixed feelings
Some are thrilled at the prospect of the first son falling in love, while others, like one critical user, wrote: “He looks sinister to me...all that's missing is the fangs and cloak.”
