Melania and Donald Trump are the proud parents of a 15-year-old boy. He lives a life apart from the public.

Melania Trump, 50, and Donald Trump, 74, made one thing unmistakably clear when they moved into the White House: As much as they are attacked, one thing remains taboo – and that is Barron Trump.

Barron Trump made his last “real” appearance in August 2020 when Donald Trump gave a speech on the occasion of the confirmation of his candidacy as president for the US election. The teen’s mood: restrained to depressed. The boy didn’t seem to like the attention that much.

Even when the assembled family left Washington after Trump’s defeat in January 2021 and stood in line at the airfield, the teenager was not seen. Barron Trump now lives with his parents in Florida, more precisely in Palm Beach. What school he goes to, what he does in his free time – a blanket of silence has been laid over these issues. There are also no paparazzi photos. So it seems like the parents’ wish for privacy is being granted. Especially now that Barron is no longer the son of the US President …
