Melania Trump says Donald wanted to have more kids

Donald and Melania Trump have been married for 20 years. They welcomed their son Barron in 2006, and while Donald took care of the real estate empire, his wife was responsible for their son’s upbringing. Barron lived a life of luxury at Trump Tower, his mother continues to put her 19-year-old son before everything else.

Donald Trump has five children, but there could have been more. Melania revealed that Donald wanted to have more children, though there was one main reason why that didn’t happen.

When Melania Trump met Donald, he already had four children. They tied the knot in 2005, and not long after welcomed their first child, Barron. Melania was a first-time mother, and her son sure lived an extraordinary life.

Melania has made it her life’s mission to protect her son from scrutiny and the media. While he has been kept out of the spotlight for most of his life, that was not the case the day he was born.

As reported by several newspapers, within 20 minutes of Barron’s birth, Trump called MSNBC’s long-running radio show “Imus in the Morning,” hosted by Don Imus, to tell the great news. At the same time, a statement on Melania’s website stated that Barron weighed 8 1/2 pounds and was 21 inches long.

“Everyone’s perfect,” Donald, then 59, told Imus. “I continue to stay young, right? I produce children; I stay young.”

Melania Trump decided not to hire a nanny when Barron was young

The same day, Trump called Live with Regis and Kelly. Two days earlier, Regis and his wife, Joy, had visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Philbin didn’t know at the time, but Trump soon after reunited with Melania in New York to be there for the birth of Barron.

“When I left you, I had no news of this at all,” Trump told Philbin, adding that Barron was over a week early.

It is no shock that Donald’s net worth is truly staggering, and as a result, Barron grew up in a world of luxury. Speaking with Parenting, Melania revealed that Barron loved planes and helicopters as a child. She always made sure to cook his breakfast and lunch. Even though they had a luxurious lifestyle, they didn’t have a traditional nanny.

“Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time,” Melania said in a 2015 People interview. “As you know my husband is traveling all the time.”

“We keep it down to a minimum,” the now-First Lady added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”

Melania revealed that Barron was into creating things as a young boy, and his mother supported that. The youngster even got to draw on the walls.

“In his space, the décor style of the rest of our home is mixed with what he is into: planes and helicopters,” Melania told Parenting, as quoted by Metro.

“He draws on the walls in his playroom”

“We let him be creative; let his imagination fly and do whatever he wants. Whatever he wants to do with his own room later on, he can do it. Whatever he wants to do with his own room he can do it. He draws on the walls, we can paint it over.”

“When he was smaller, he started drawing on the walls,” she added. “His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote ‘Barron’s Bakery’ on the wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where does the creativity go?”

Growing up, Melania was the one closest to Barron. Donald focused his attention on his real estate empire, telling Larry King in 2005 that he was a relatively hands-off parent. Donald stated that he wasn’t “going to be doing the diapers” or “making the food,” adding that he “may never even see the kids.”

Although Donald wasn’t too involved in Barron’s childhood, Melania ensured he had quality time with his father. The two often went out for dinner together. As he grew older, Barron joined his father on the golf course.

“It’s very important to know the person you’re with. And we know our roles,” Melania explained.

Barron’s mother has helped him with his homework ever since childhood. He loved science and math, and Melania took him to different activities after school, encouraging him to reach for the stars.

“He wants to be a golfer, a businessman, a pilot. It’s that age when you introduce him to stuff,” she said.

Melania wants to be around Barron “as much as possible”

Barron graduated from high school last May after attending the private school Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. In September, he enrolled at Stern Business School at New York University.

While the now 19-year-old is standing on his own feet, sources have told People Magazine that Melania “will do everything she can” to support Barron’s well-being and ensure his good grades. Meanwhile, he will not get the “full college experience” by living in a dorm.

“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” a source told People. “Barron already has his own political ideas. It all needs to be monitored in light of the situation.”

Another source told the news outlet that living at home is Barron’s best option now.

“Whether or not others think he is capable of being on his own, Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible,” that source said. “I see that continuing.”

Melania is of Slovenian descent. Because of that, she raised Barron to be bilingual, and when he calls his grandparents in Slovenia, he speaks Slovenian. Both she and Donald agree that the more languages one speaks, the better, and at one point, Melania revealed that he spoke three languages. On a few occasions, the world even got to hear him.

Melania reveals Donald Trump wanted more children after Barron

Videos of a young Barron speaking with a Slovenian accent resurfaced after Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential Election win. Entertainment Tonight shared a video of Barron speaking with his mother in 2009 when he was about to turn three. Barron was heard saying, “I like to play drums,” his mother added, “He loves to play drums, so maybe for his birthday, you will get the present?”

Another clip of a young Barron speaking with an accent resurfaced from the 2010 Larry King interview his parents did. The young boy appeared in his father’s office, saying, “I like my suitcase.”

Donald Trump was married twice before he and Melania tied the knot in 2005. His marriage to Ivana Trump lasted from 1977 to 1990, and the president’s second marriage to Marla Maples lasted five years.

With Ivana, Trump welcomed three children, Ivanka, Donald Jr, and Eric, and with Marla Maples, one daughter, Tiffany Trump. Barron is the youngest of Donald’s children, but if he had decided, there would have been more additions to the family.

Speaking with Fox and Friends last year, Melania revealed that Donald wanted more children after Barron was born. Meanwhile, Melania was pleased with just one.

“I was always perfectly fine with one. And Donald was encouraging [us] to have more,” Melania recalled. “And I said, like, ‘I’m completely fine with one because it’s [a] very busy life.’”

“I think it’s very important that we show our children that we are working too”

When she met Donald, Melania was a famous model. In the 1990s, she moved from her home country of Slovenia to pursue her career in the US and did very well for herself.

In her memoir, Melania wrote about a “chaotic” scene at her home office when Barron was young, with his books spread out “all over the floor” and the young boy sitting in a toy car. In the Fox interview, the First Lady stated that it was important for her to show Barron what an ordinary day could look like in her working life.

“I think it’s very important that we show our children that we are working too. To give them an example [of] how life is,” she said. “That they see us, that we are productive, that we have ideas, that ideas come to life. And that’s how I was showing Barron.”

Barron’s closest step-sibling, age-wise, is Tiffany, 13 years his senior. While Barron most likely never lived with his step-siblings, they were a blended family. In the Fox interview, Melania advised on how to approach that.

“To take [an] individual as they are. You cannot control anyone. You could control only your own behavior, your own words. Everybody is in control of [their] own self. I’m not in control of my husband. I’m not in control of his children. I’m not even in control of my child. He’s his own person We all have yes and no’s. And we are all individuals. Once you lead your life with respect and love… that’s all [that] matters,” she added.

Melania Turmp says Barron is an “incredible” young man

Melania continued: “I raised Barron as [his] own person and gave him his own yes and nos. I respect that. It was his decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.”

“He’s [an] incredible young man. I’m very proud… His strength, his intelligence, his knowledge, his kindness. It’s admirable. He’s enjoying his college days. I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19 year old child,” she concluded.
