Barron Trump, 19, is keeping a low profile as a first-year at NYU’s Stern School of Business. His routine is simple: “classes, study, a tightly managed commute, and as little public exposure as possible.” This mirrors his childhood, where Melania Trump worked to shield him from scrutiny.
Instead of dorm life, Barron commutes with Secret Service protection. A source said the aim is to “monitor” his environment and keep routines predictable. While this ensures privacy, it also means missing some of the “normal” college immersion like late-night study groups or casual dorm friendships.
Public sightings remain rare. He doesn’t do interviews, avoids social media, and is photographed only when required. As the article notes: “When a subject never speaks for himself and rarely appears spontaneously, the oxygen left over gets filled by speculation.”
Much of that speculation centers on his dating life. Donald Trump once said his son hadn’t had a girlfriend. A former schoolmate claimed on TikTok they briefly dated. Tabloids linked him with model Klara Jones and NYU student Maria Arana, though Arana called the rumors “very random.” NewsNation most recently claimed he “has a really nice girlfriend,” but no evidence confirms it.
For now, Barron seems focused on school—and keeping his personal life private.
