While Donald Trump stays busy with politics, his 19-year-old son Barron leads a quiet life in New York City. Now a student at NYU’s Stern School of Business, Barron has mostly stayed out of the public eye—thanks in large part to his mother, Melania, who still closely protects his privacy. He’s driven to and from campus by Secret Service and lives at home, not in a dorm, by her choice.
“He already has political ideas,” a source told People, “and everything needs to be monitored.”
Despite his low profile, interest in Barron’s personal life has grown—especially when it comes to his love life. While Donald Trump once said Barron had never had a girlfriend, rumors have swirled for years.
Recently, a girl named Maddie went viral on TikTok, claiming she dated Barron during their time at Columbia Grammar & Prep School. She even shared photos from a class visit to the White House after Trump’s 2016 win, calling Barron her “first BF.”
Other names have popped up too—like influencer Maria Arana and model Klara Jones—but nothing has been confirmed. Still, according to News Nation, students at NYU say Barron now has a “really nice girlfriend,” reportedly named Sarah Jones, though she’s yet to be publicly identified.
Whether the rumors are true or not, one thing’s clear: Barron Trump may be stepping into adulthood, but he’s doing it his own quiet way.
