Barron Trump, the youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump, has spent much of his life shielded from the public eye. Born on March 20, 2006, he grew up in luxury, first in New York City and later in the White House during his father's presidency.

Barron was born shortly after Donald and Melania’s 2005 wedding. Melania described Donald as surprised but happy about the pregnancy. Donald chose the name "Barron," which Melania fully supported.

Barron spent his early years at the Trump family's Manhattan penthouse, attending elite private schools on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

When Donald Trump became president in January 2017, Barron and Melania delayed their move to the White House to allow Barron to finish the school year in New York. That summer, he enrolled at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland and officially moved to Washington, D.C.

Although Barron was a White House resident, he largely stayed out of the spotlight, unlike his older siblings, who played active roles in Donald’s presidency.

Barron attended several prestigious schools, including Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland, and Oxbridge Academy in Florida, where he graduated in 2024. He enrolled at New York University in September 2024, choosing to study and live in Manhattan.

Despite being largely private, Barron faced online criticism during his father’s presidency. Public figures like Chelsea Clinton and Jenna Bush Hager defended him, emphasizing the need for him to grow up away from undue scrutiny. Melania remained a fiercely protective mother, prioritizing Barron's well-being.

Barron is bilingual, speaking both English and Slovenian, thanks to his mother’s influence. He stands out for his height, reaching 6 feet 7 inches as a teenager, a trait Donald attributes to his late grandmother’s cooking.

In 2024, Barron made rare public appearances, including his first campaign rally in July during Donald’s presidential campaign. While shy and reserved, Barron is described by Melania as intelligent, kind, and independent. He now focuses on his studies at NYU while living in the Trump Tower in Manhattan.
