• 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 “has a really nice girlfriend” and spends a lot of time with her. The source did not reveal the girlfriend’s identity or give more details. This could mark the first known relationship for Barron. Earlier, in October 2024, Donald Trump said his son hadn’t had a girlfriend yet. The former president described Barron as “good-looking” 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 “big man on campus.” 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 Barron’s Social Life and Popularity

Since starting NYU, many rumors circulated about Barron’s social life. In December 2024, TMZ claimed he “hardly exists” 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 “very popular with the ladies.” The source said Barron is “tall and handsome” 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 “an oddity on campus.” 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. Barron’s quiet lifestyle makes him different from many students.

Melania Trump’s Team Denies Harvard Rejection Rumors

Rumors spread that Barron had been rejected from Harvard University. Some fans on social media linked this to Donald Trump’s ongoing feud with Harvard. However, Melania Trump’s communications director quickly denied these claims. He said Barron never applied to Harvard. Any suggestion otherwise was “completely false.” This denial aimed to stop false stories about Barron’s college plans. Barron chose to attend NYU, and his family wants to keep that story clear.

Barron’s Political Interests Seem to Have Shifted to Technology

Barron’s political involvement at NYU appears low. The News Nation source said Barron is “pretty apolitical.” 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 Barron’s main skill is technology, not politics. He called his son’s talent in tech “unbelievable.” 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 “the future of the conservative movement.” 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.
