Barron Trump, now 19, is living a relatively private life in New York City while attending NYU’s Stern School of Business. As his father, Donald Trump, remains active in politics and global affairs, Barron has mostly stayed out of the spotlight—though he has made occasional public appearances, such as at campaign events and Inauguration Day.
Raised largely away from media attention thanks to his mother Melania’s efforts, Barron still enjoys strong protection from the Secret Service and does not live in a dorm like most students.
Melania reportedly insisted he stay home for security and privacy, believing it’s best for him to be closely monitored during such a turbulent time.
Although he reportedly makes friends through online gaming, his social life is more limited than that of typical college students. His dating life has also sparked curiosity. In a past interview, Donald Trump said he didn’t believe Barron had a girlfriend, though described him as someone who is social but also content alone.
That changed when a TikTok user named Maddie, who went to school with Barron at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, revealed that she was his first girlfriend. She shared photos from their school trip to the White House and class pictures with Barron, saying they dated before eventually breaking up. More recently, rumors have linked Barron to model Klara Jones, who is two years older, though this hasn’t been confirmed. Another woman, Maria Arana, a psychology student and influencer at NYU, was also rumored to be romantically linked to him. Arana denied the rumors in *Vanity Fair*, calling them random but not offensive. Despite Barron’s silence on his personal life, new speculation claims he may be dating someone named Sarah Jones. Sources from NYU say he has been seen frequently with her, describing her as “really nice,” though no official confirmation has emerged. While gossip continues to swirl around the youngest Trump’s love life, the bigger question remains whether Barron will follow in his father’s political footsteps.
