Barron Trump, 19, the youngest son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, recently made headlines for a romantic evening in Manhattan. On September 29, 2025, Page Six reported that Barron hosted a date at Trump Tower. The outing wasn’t ordinary — an entire floor was sealed off for the evening to ensure privacy and security.
For Barron, this level of precaution is familiar. As a college sophomore, even small private moments require careful planning because of his family’s high profile.
Life Under the Spotlight
Earlier this year, sources revealed that Barron doesn’t even give out his phone number at school. He communicates with friends through Xbox and Discord to avoid the risks of public exposure. The insider explained that sharing his number would almost certainly leak, and his phone would never stop ringing.
Living in the public eye affects every part of his life, from dating to education.

Dating Rumors and Conflicting Reports
Buzz about Barron’s love life first emerged in May when an alleged NYU friend claimed he had a girlfriend. However, no other sources confirmed it. President Trump himself said last year on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast that he didn’t believe Barron had a girlfriend at the time.
A People source echoed this in 2025: “Dating isn’t a big part of his life right now. He has school, a family who dotes on him, and a career he is launching.”
College Life Across Campuses
Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that Barron had been living at the White House while attending NYU’s D.C. campus. He was expected to return to Greenwich Village by September 2 but didn’t appear. People later confirmed he would attend another campus, though officials declined to reveal which one for security reasons. NYU has locations in Brooklyn, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
Building a Future
Barron completed his first year of college in May but didn’t spend summer idly. Instead, sources say he traveled, stayed at Trump properties, and quietly worked on his future. He met with business figures and explored opportunities in the tech sector, with plans to launch his own company.
Amid all this, he still made time for family — balancing a budding career with life as a member of one of America’s most recognizable families.
