00:00Does Barron Trump have a girlfriend? It's a question the media can't stop speculating
00:05about. Now, some Trump family members are dishing on the teenager's love life, and what
00:11they reveal might surprise you.
00:13While campaigning for the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump appeared on several
00:18high-profile podcasts, including the PBD podcast, hosted by Patrick Bette David. During the
00:24sit-down, Donald talked about his youngest son's dating life, or lack thereof. When Bette
00:29David asked if Barron had a special lady in his life, Donald responded,
00:33"'I'm not sure he's there yet. No, I'm not sure he's there. He's, uh, I don't think he's
00:38had a girlfriend yet.'"
00:39Donald also spoke about his son's social life, telling the host that Barron doesn't mind
00:43spending time alone. He then added,
00:45"'But he's somebody that gets along with people.'"
00:48Not only did his dad reveal personal details, but shortly after that interview, one of Barron's
00:53brothers also weighed in on his dating life.
00:55While speaking to the Daily Mail on October 29, Eric Trump was asked about Barron's future,
01:01and he took an odd approach to discussing his much younger brother. Eric told the outlet,
01:05"'My advice to Barron is you are the most watched person, probably the most watched
01:10bachelor in the world right now.'"
01:12Eric went on to add that he did not experience the same scrutiny as Barron at that age, before
01:16warning the teen,
01:17"'Just be careful, just be careful. There are a lot of eyes on you.'"
01:22And Barron's dad and brother aren't the only ones to share their thoughts about his romantic
01:26life. His fellow students at New York University have dished on it, too. One classmate told
01:31the Daily Mail in September that Barron would, quote,
01:34"'become kind of liberal' if he started dating at NYU."
01:37However, dating at college could prove to be challenging for Barron with his mother
01:41in tow. When Barron was still deciding on which college to attend, a source confirmed
01:46to People magazine that Melania Trump would be staying close to her son. The insider told
01:50the outlet in March 2024,
01:52"'Melania's main job is taking care of Barron, and I think it's possible that she will follow
01:57him wherever he goes to school.'"
01:59Of course, Barron wound up choosing New York University, which allowed him to continue
02:03residing in Trump Tower with his mom.
02:05"'He's going to a very good school, always got good marks.'"
02:09But living with Melania could also complicate Barron's love life, given her reportedly hands-on
02:14parenting style. A different source told People in March 2023,
02:19She is a doting mother to Barron and very protective of him. This is nothing new. Prior
02:24to his decision to go to NYU, some wondered if Barron would choose the same school as
02:28his rumored ex-girlfriend.
02:30An old video from a TikToker named Maddie resurfaced just before Barron started classes,
02:35and it shed some light on his dating history. Maddie shared in a TikTok posted in June 2020,
02:40"'For those asking, I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first boyfriend.'
02:45It's believed the pair attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City's
02:50Upper West Side together. Maddie's video about her supposed ex-boyfriend went viral, and
02:55she spoke about their relationship in the comments section, describing Barron as a,
02:59quote, "'lil shy boy.'"
03:01The TikToker also gave a classic excuse as to why she and Barron broke up. Maddie wrote
03:05in a reply to another user,
03:07"'He went to Florida for the summer, so we ended it.'"
