- Barron Trump reportedly has a new girlfriend while keeping a low profile at NYU.
- He focuses more on technology than politics and avoids campus attention.
- His family denies rumors about Harvard rejection and highlights his private college choice.
Barron Trump, 19, might have a new girlfriend. A friend at New York University (NYU), where Barron just finished his freshman year, told News Nation that he โhas a really nice girlfriendโ and spends a lot of time with her. The source did not reveal the girlfriendโs identity or give more details. This could mark the first known relationship for Barron. Earlier, in October 2024, Donald Trump said his son hadnโt had a girlfriend yet. The former president described Barron as โgood-lookingโ but said he was okay being alone. Barron apparently enjoys being around people but has not officially confirmed any romance.
Barron Keeps a Low Profile and Stays Away From Attention on Campus
According to the same campus source, Barron acts more like his mother, Melania Trump. He keeps his head down and focuses on his schoolwork. The source said Barron does not want to be the โbig man on campus.โ He avoids attention and does not seek to be in the spotlight, unlike other members of his family. This low-key style means he stays mostly out of the public eye while at NYU. He seems to prefer quiet friendships and avoids drama. Despite this, Barron does have friends and social connections.
Mixed Reports About Barronโs Social Life and Popularity
Since starting NYU, many rumors circulated about Barronโs social life. In December 2024, TMZ claimed he โhardly existsโ on campus because the Secret Service always protects him. This security detail made it hard for Barron to meet new people in person. Instead, TMZ said Barron tried to connect with other students online by asking for their Discord usernames and gamertags to play video games. However, another source told People magazine that Barron is actually โvery popular with the ladies.โ The source said Barron is โtall and handsomeโ and many students find him attractive, even those with different political views. This shows conflicting views on his social standing.
Some See Barron as an Oddity But He Has a Quiet Campus Routine
Vanity Fair quoted Kaya Walker, former president of the NYU College Republicans, who called Barron โan oddity on campus.โ She said he mostly goes to class and then returns home, keeping a simple and quiet routine. Soon after making this comment, Walker resigned. Despite this, a recent source told News Nation that Barron does have friends. The difference is he avoids the limelight. He prefers to stay out of the public eye, unlike other Trump family members who seek attention. Barronโs quiet lifestyle makes him different from many students.
Melania Trumpโs Team Denies Harvard Rejection Rumors
Rumors spread that Barron had been rejected from Harvard University. Some fans on social media linked this to Donald Trumpโs ongoing feud with Harvard. However, Melania Trumpโs communications director quickly denied these claims. He said Barron never applied to Harvard. Any suggestion otherwise was โcompletely false.โ This denial aimed to stop false stories about Barronโs college plans. Barron chose to attend NYU, and his family wants to keep that story clear.
Barronโs Political Interests Seem to Have Shifted to Technology
Barronโs political involvement at NYU appears low. The News Nation source said Barron is โpretty apolitical.โ He shows little interest in taking over the Republican Party or leading political groups on campus. This stands in contrast to earlier stories during the 2024 election. Back then, Donald Trump said Barron gave him political advice and helped choose podcasts for his campaign. Trump praised Barron for suggesting podcasts that boosted his ratings. Still, in 2025, the president said Barronโs main skill is technology, not politics. He called his sonโs talent in tech โunbelievable.โ Barron seems to focus more on technology than politics now.
Barron Has Avoided Conservative Groups But Received an Invitation
While at NYU, Barron has stayed away from conservative student groups like the College Republicans. After Kaya Walker resigned as their president, the group invited Barron to join. They even called him โthe future of the conservative movement.โ Barron has not made public moves to join. His quiet presence and focus on studies may explain this distance. Still, the invitation shows some see him as a potential future leader. For now, Barron seems to prefer keeping his social and political life private.
