Barron Trump is keeping things pretty low-key in New York City these days. While his dad, Donald Trump, is juggling all sorts of stuff like tensions with Iran, the 19-year-old is just focusing on his classes at NYU’s Stern Business School. Over the years, there’s been plenty of chatter about whether he’s dating anyone, and now it looks like the rumors might actually be true—this could be Barron’s first real girlfriend.
In the past year, Barron’s popped up in the spotlight a bit more than usual. He made waves showing up at his father’s campaign rallies and even at the inauguration. But aside from those big moments, he’s stayed out of the headlines, living a quiet life.
His mom, Melania, has always been super protective, shielding him from the media circus since he was a kid, and that hasn’t changed now that he’s in college. Word is, he’s chauffeured to and from campus by the Secret Service, and while he’s made some buddies through online gaming, he’s not exactly diving into the wild college scene. For starters, Melania nixed the idea of him living in a dorm.
A source spilled to People Magazine back in December that dorm life just isn’t on the cards for him right now. “Barron’s got his own thoughts on politics, and everything has to be kept in check given the circumstances,” they said.
Another insider added that sticking close to home is the smartest move. “No matter what people think about him handling things solo, Melania wants to be there for him as much as she can. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.”
What’s Up with Barron Trump’s Love Life?
We don’t really know who Barron’s chilling with in his free time, and his romantic side is even more of a mystery. Has he ever had a girlfriend? That’s not something the public’s privy to. Even Donald Trump weighed in during a chat on the PBD Podcast, saying he didn’t think Barron had dated anyone yet. He described his son as easygoing—someone who doesn’t mind his own company but gets along great with folks.
“I’m not sure he’s at that stage,” Donald mentioned. “I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend so far.”
The gossip kicked off when a girl named Maddie posted a TikTok spilling the beans about her past with Barron. She claimed they dated back in school at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York, and she even shared why things fizzled out.
According to The Economic Times, Maddie was Barron’s first girlfriend. After Donald won the election, Barron hooked up his whole class with a private White House tour—more on how that played out in a sec.
In her video, Maddie showed an old class photo with her standing right next to a young Barron. She also posted pics from the White House visit, including one where she’s posing with Donald and Melania in the Oval Office.
“For everyone wondering, I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first boyfriend,” she said. “When Trump got elected, he invited the whole class to the White House. Gotta save my bae!”
The Psychology Student Dubbed ‘Mrs. Barron Trump’ Speaks Out
Lately, there’s been talk about model Klara Jones, who’s 21 and a couple years older than Barron, possibly being his girlfriend. Elle reported they’ve been seen together at a few events, which only added fuel to the fire. But hey, nothing’s official.
Celebrity dating rumors are always juicy, and Barron’s no exception. Earlier this year, The Daily Mail floated the idea that 21-year-old influencer Maria Arana—a Mexican-American studying at NYU who grew up in Miami—might end up as the “future Mrs. Barron Trump.”
Since Barron keeps mum and never does interviews, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. But Maria decided to clear the air in a Vanity Fair chat. She’s studying child psychology at NYU’s Gallatin School and said, “It just struck me as totally out of left field. But it’s not like I’d be opposed or anything.”
We still don’t know if he’s actually with Klara Jones, but fresh buzz suggests Barron’s definitely seeing someone. Campus whispers at NYU say he’s got a girlfriend, and a source told News Nation—via a campus friend—that Barron “has a really nice girlfriend and spends a ton of time with her.”
Source Says Barron Trump’s Girlfriend is ‘Really Nice’
No one’s dropping details on who she is, but The Spun, which covers social media news, mentioned her name might be Sarah Jones.
Only time will tell if these rumors pan out and if Barron’s really off the market. Given that the president’s youngest son rarely steps into the public eye, don’t hold your breath for him to go Instagram-official or anything.
