During his dad’s first term, from 2017 to 2021, Barron was the only one of the president’s five children to reside in the White House. The boy occasionally appeared beside his father, though largely stayed out of the public eye until more recently. He is currently a student at New York University.\nQuick Facts\nFULL NAME: Barron William Trump\nBORN: March 20, 2006\nBIRTHPLACE: New York, New York\nPARENTS:\nDonald Trump\nand\nMelania Trump\nSIBLINGS:\nDonald Jr.\n,\nIvanka\n,\nEric\n, and\nTiffany\nASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces\nParents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family\nBarron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. His parents are President\nDonald Trump\n, who first gained fame as a real estate mogul, and First Lady\nMelania Trump\n, who was previously a model.\nAs the youngest of the former president’s five children from his three marriages, Barron has four half-siblings:\nDon Jr\n.,\nIvanka\n,\nEric\n, and,\nTiffany\n. However, he was effectively raised as an only child because he is between 13 and 29 years younger than his siblings. Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother,\nMarla Maples\n, and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999.\nBarron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump.\nEarly Life\nGrowing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his mother’s home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French.\nBarron was raised inside his father’s New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with\nParenting\n, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativity—even when he would draw on the walls. “His imagination is growing and important,” she said. “If he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.”\nAlthough it’s unclear if he’ll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using\nLego bricks\nand\nMagna Tiles\ngrowing up. He also has his own aesthetic. “He likes clean and white,” Melania told\nParenting\n. “He builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and it’s very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.”\nMelania also told the magazine she calls Barron “Little Donald” because his personality is so similar to that of his father. “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said.\nShe also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time.\nLiving at the White House\nDonald Trump’s election to the\nU.S. presidency\nin 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.\nBarron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since\nJohn F. Kennedy Jr.\nin 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White House’s holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his father’s pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White House’s Blue Room.\nGetty Images\nBarron Trump was at his father’s side for the presidential turkey pardoning in November 2017.\nOn October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the\nfirst lady\nrevealed that her “fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.” Melania continued: “Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.”\nHigh School and College\nAfter leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024.\nSoon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,”\nDonald said\n.\nAccording to\nPeople\n, a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower.\nHow Tall Is Barron Trump?\nGetty Images\nAt 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents.\nBarron towers over both of his famous parents and,\naccording to his father\n, stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall.\nDonald has attributed Barron’s impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barron’s potential future in sports. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, ‘Well, I like soccer, dad, actually,’”\nhe said\nat a 2024 campaign event. “I thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything.”\nPolitical Presence\nBarron’s 18\nth\nbirthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However,\nChelsea Clinton\n, the daughter of former President\nBill Clinton\nand\nHillary Clinton\n, has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. “I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,”\nshe said\n.\nIn May 2024, news broke that Barron had been\nselected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida\nat the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump\nannounced two days later\nthat he “regretfully declines to participate” at the convention because of prior commitments.\nFact Check: We strive for accuracy and fairness.

He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said.\n\nShe also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time.\n\n## Learn About Other First Children\n- [![](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Sasha Obama](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/a19243080\/sasha-obama)\n- [![](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Malia Obama](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/a21484395\/malia-obama)\n- [![](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Hunter Biden](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/a77785542\/hunter-biden)\n## Living at the White House\nDonald Trump’s election to the [U.S. presidency](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/us-presidents) in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.\n\nBarron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since [John F. Kennedy Jr.](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/john-f-kennedy-jr) in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White House’s holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his father’s pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White House’s Blue Room.\n\n![barron trump stands to the side of his father who speaks into a microphone on a podium with a presidential seal, both wear suit jackets with white collared shirts and ties](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)\n\nGetty Images\n\nBarron Trump was at his father’s side for the presidential turkey pardoning in November 2017.\n\nOn October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the [first lady](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/us-first-ladies) revealed that her “fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.” Melania continued: “Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.”\n\n## High School and College\nAfter leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024.\n\nSoon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,” [Donald said](https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/barron-trump-college-update-issued-donald-trump-1907206). [According to *People*](https:\/\/people.com\/barron-trump-18th-birthday-college-search-8610932), a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower.\n\n## How Tall Is Barron Trump?\n![melania trump, barron trump, and donald trump stand on steps in front of an open set of doors, melania wears a dark skirt suit and sunglasses, barron and donald wear suits with ties and white collared shirts](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)\n\nGetty Images\n\nAt 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents.\n\nBarron towers over both of his famous parents and, [according to his father](https:\/\/people.com\/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615), stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall.\n\nDonald has attributed Barron’s impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barron’s potential future in sports. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, ‘Well, I like soccer, dad, actually,’” [he said](https:\/\/people.com\/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615) at a 2024 campaign event. “I thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything.”\n\n## Political Presence\nBarron’s 18th birthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However, [Chelsea Clinton](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/chelsea-clinton), the daughter of former President [Bill Clinton](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/political-figures\/bill-clinton) and [Hillary Clinton](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/political-figures\/hillary-clinton), has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. “I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,” [she said](https:\/\/people.com\/chelsea-clinton-barron-trump-unimpeachable-right-privacy-8619246).\n\nIn May 2024, news broke that Barron had been [selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida](https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/05\/09\/politics\/barron-trump-delegate-republican-national-convention\/index.html) at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump [announced two days later](https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/barron-trump-delegate-florida-republican-national-convention\/) that he “regretfully declines to participate” at the convention because of prior commitments.\n\n> Fact Check: We strive for accuracy and fairness.

During his dad’s first term, from 2017 to 2021, Barron was the only one of the president’s five children to reside in the White House. The boy occasionally appeared beside his father, though largely stayed out of the public eye until more recently. He is currently a student at New York University.\n\n## Quick Facts\nFULL NAME: Barron William Trump  \nBORN: March 20, 2006  \nBIRTHPLACE: New York, New York  \nPARENTS: [Donald Trump](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/political-figures\/donald-trump) and [Melania Trump](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/melania-trump)  \nSIBLINGS: [Donald Jr.](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/donald-trump-jr), [Ivanka](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/ivanka-trump), [Eric](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/eric-trump), and [Tiffany](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/tiffany-trump)  \nASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces\n\n## Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family\nBarron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. His parents are President [Donald Trump](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/political-figures\/donald-trump), who first gained fame as a real estate mogul, and First Lady [Melania Trump](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/melania-trump), who was previously a model.\n\nAs the youngest of the former president’s five children from his three marriages, Barron has four half-siblings: [Don Jr](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/donald-trump-jr)., [Ivanka](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/ivanka-trump), [Eric](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/eric-trump), and, [Tiffany](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/tiffany-trump). However, he was effectively raised as an only child because he is between 13 and 29 years younger than his siblings. Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother, [Marla Maples](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/history-culture\/marla-maples), and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999.\n\nBarron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump.\n\n## Early Life\nGrowing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his mother’s home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French.\n\nBarron was raised inside his father’s New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with *Parenting*, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativity—even when he would draw on the walls. “His imagination is growing and important,” she said. “If he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.”\n\nAlthough it’s unclear if he’ll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using [Lego bricks](https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/culture\/g38687321\/biggest-lego-sets\/) and [Magna Tiles](https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/culture\/g38726763\/best-magnetic-toys\/) growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. “He likes clean and white,” Melania told *Parenting*. “He builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and it’s very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.”\n\nMelania also told the magazine she calls Barron “Little Donald” because his personality is so similar to that of his father. “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said.\n\nShe also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time.\n\n## Living at the White House\nDonald Trump’s election to the [U.S. presidency](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/us-presidents) in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.\n\nBarron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since [John F.

Although Barron initially tested negative, the [first lady](https:\/\/www.biography.com\/us-first-ladies) revealed that her “fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.” Melania continued: “Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.”\n\n## High School and College\nAfter leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024.\n\nSoon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,” [Donald said](https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/barron-trump-college-update-issued-donald-trump-1907206). [According to *People*](https:\/\/people.com\/barron-trump-18th-birthday-college-search-8610932), a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower.\n\n## How Tall Is Barron Trump?\n![melania trump, barron trump, and donald trump stand on steps in front of an open set of doors, melania wears a dark skirt suit and sunglasses, barron and donald wear suits with ties and white collared shirts](data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)\n\nGetty Images\n\nAt 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents.\n\nBarron towers over both of his famous parents and, [according to his father](https:\/\/people.com\/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615), stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall.\n\nDonald has attributed Barron’s impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barron’s potential future in sports. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player.

Boilerpipe Text	2006–present Jump to: Who Is Barron Trump? Quick Facts Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family Early Life Living at the White House High School and College How Tall Is Barron Trump? Political Presence Who Is Barron Trump? Barron Trump is the only child of First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump . During his dad’s first term, from 2017 to 2021, Barron was the only one of the president’s five children to reside in the White House. The boy occasionally appeared beside his father, though largely stayed out of the public eye until more recently. He is currently a student at New York University. Quick Facts FULL NAME: Barron William Trump BORN: March 20, 2006 BIRTHPLACE: New York, New York PARENTS: Donald Trump and Melania Trump SIBLINGS: Donald Jr. , Ivanka , Eric , and Tiffany ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family Barron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. His parents are President Donald Trump , who first gained fame as a real estate mogul, and First Lady Melania Trump , who was previously a model. As the youngest of the former president’s five children from his three marriages, Barron has four half-siblings: Don Jr ., Ivanka , Eric , and, Tiffany . However, he was effectively raised as an only child because he is between 13 and 29 years younger than his siblings. Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother, Marla Maples , and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999. Barron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump. Early Life Growing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his mother’s home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French. Barron was raised inside his father’s New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with Parenting , Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativity—even when he would draw on the walls. “His imagination is growing and important,” she said. “If he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.” Although it’s unclear if he’ll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using Lego bricks and Magna Tiles growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. “He likes clean and white,” Melania told Parenting . “He builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and it’s very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.” Melania also told the magazine she calls Barron “Little Donald” because his personality is so similar to that of his father. “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said. She also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time. Living at the White House Donald Trump’s election to the U.S. presidency in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland. Barron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White House’s holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his father’s pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White House’s Blue Room.

In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024. Soon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,” Donald said . According to People , a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business.

He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump. ## Early Life Growing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his mother’s home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French. Barron was raised inside his father’s New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with Parenting, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativity—even when he would draw on the walls. “His imagination is growing and important,” she said. “If he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.” Although it’s unclear if he’ll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using [Lego bricks](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38687321/biggest-lego-sets/) and [Magna Tiles](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38726763/best-magnetic-toys/) growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. “He likes clean and white,” Melania told Parenting. “He builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and it’s very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.” Melania also told the magazine she calls Barron “Little Donald” because his personality is so similar to that of his father. “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said. She also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time. ## Learn About Other First Children - [![](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Sasha Obama](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/a19243080/sasha-obama) - [![](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Malia Obama](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/a21484395/malia-obama) - [![](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E)Hunter Biden](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/a77785542/hunter-biden) ## Living at the White House Donald Trump’s election to the [U.S. presidency](https://www.biography.com/us-presidents) in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland. Barron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since [John F. Kennedy Jr.](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/john-f-kennedy-jr) in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White House’s holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his father’s pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White House’s Blue Room. ![barron trump stands to the side of his father who speaks into a microphone on a podium with a presidential seal, both wear suit jackets with white collared shirts and ties](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E) Getty Images Barron Trump was at his father’s side for the presidential turkey pardoning in November 2017. On October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the [first lady](https://www.biography.com/us-first-ladies) revealed that her “fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.” Melania continued: “Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.” ## High School and College After leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024. Soon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,” [Donald said](https://www.newsweek.com/barron-trump-college-update-issued-donald-trump-1907206). [According to People](https://people.com/barron-trump-18th-birthday-college-search-8610932), a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower. ## How Tall Is Barron Trump? ![melania trump, barron trump, and donald trump stand on steps in front of an open set of doors, melania wears a dark skirt suit and sunglasses, barron and donald wear suits with ties and white collared shirts](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E) Getty Images At 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents. Barron towers over both of his famous parents and, [according to his father](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615), stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall. Donald has attributed Barron’s impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barron’s potential future in sports. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, ‘Well, I like soccer, dad, actually,’” [he said](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615) at a 2024 campaign event. “I thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything.” ## Political Presence Barron’s 18th birthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However, [Chelsea Clinton](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/chelsea-clinton), the daughter of former President [Bill Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/bill-clinton) and [Hillary Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/hillary-clinton), has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. “I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,” [she said](https://people.com/chelsea-clinton-barron-trump-unimpeachable-right-privacy-8619246). In May 2024, news broke that Barron had been [selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida](https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/barron-trump-delegate-republican-national-convention/index.html) at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump [announced two days later](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/barron-trump-delegate-florida-republican-national-convention/) that he “regretfully declines to participate” at the convention because of prior commitments. > Fact Check: We strive for accuracy and fairness.

Barron Trump is the only child of First Lady [Melania Trump](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/melania-trump) and President [Donald Trump](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/donald-trump). During his dad’s first term, from 2017 to 2021, Barron was the only one of the president’s five children to reside in the White House. The boy occasionally appeared beside his father, though largely stayed out of the public eye until more recently. He is currently a student at New York University. ## Quick Facts FULL NAME: Barron William Trump BORN: March 20, 2006 BIRTHPLACE: New York, New York PARENTS: [Donald Trump](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/donald-trump) and [Melania Trump](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/melania-trump) SIBLINGS: [Donald Jr.](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/donald-trump-jr), [Ivanka](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/ivanka-trump), [Eric](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/eric-trump), and [Tiffany](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/tiffany-trump) ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces ## Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family Barron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City.

Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother, [Marla Maples](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/marla-maples), and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999. Barron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump. ## Early Life Growing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his mother’s home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French. Barron was raised inside his father’s New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with Parenting, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativity—even when he would draw on the walls. “His imagination is growing and important,” she said. “If he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.” Although it’s unclear if he’ll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using [Lego bricks](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38687321/biggest-lego-sets/) and [Magna Tiles](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38726763/best-magnetic-toys/) growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. “He likes clean and white,” Melania told Parenting. “He builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and it’s very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.” Melania also told the magazine she calls Barron “Little Donald” because his personality is so similar to that of his father. “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” she said. She also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time. ## Living at the White House Donald Trump’s election to the [U.S. presidency](https://www.biography.com/us-presidents) in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donald’s real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didn’t immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his father’s presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland. Barron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since [John F. Kennedy Jr.](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/john-f-kennedy-jr) in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White House’s holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his father’s pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White House’s Blue Room. ![barron trump stands to the side of his father who speaks into a microphone on a podium with a presidential seal, both wear suit jackets with white collared shirts and ties](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E) Getty Images Barron Trump was at his father’s side for the presidential turkey pardoning in November 2017. On October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the [first lady](https://www.biography.com/us-first-ladies) revealed that her “fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.” Melania continued: “Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.” ## High School and College After leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024. Soon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. “He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. He’s very sought after from standpoint,” [Donald said](https://www.newsweek.com/barron-trump-college-update-issued-donald-trump-1907206). [According to People](https://people.com/barron-trump-18th-birthday-college-search-8610932), a source said it’s possible that his mother, Melania, “will follow him wherever he goes to school.” Barron ultimately selected New York University and is studying in the Stern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower. ## How Tall Is Barron Trump? ![melania trump, barron trump, and donald trump stand on steps in front of an open set of doors, melania wears a dark skirt suit and sunglasses, barron and donald wear suits with ties and white collared shirts](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201024%201024'%3E%3Crect%20width%3D'100%25'%20height%3D'100%25'%20fill%3D'%23f3f3f3'%2F%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'none'%20stroke%3D'%23545454'%20stroke-linecap%3D'round'%20stroke-width%3D'18'%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D'512'%20cy%3D'310'%20r%3D'97'%2F%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'm444%20245%20132%20133'%2F%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3Cg%20fill%3D'%23545454'%20font-family%3D'Arial%2CHelvetica%2Csans-serif'%20font-size%3D'98'%20font-weight%3D'600'%20text-anchor%3D'middle'%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'535'%3EIMAGE%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'643'%3EFAILED%3C%2Ftext%3E%3Ctext%20x%3D'514'%20y%3D'747'%3ETO%20LOAD%3C%2Ftext%3E%3C%2Fg%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E) Getty Images At 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents. Barron towers over both of his famous parents and, [according to his father](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615), stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall. Donald has attributed Barron’s impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barron’s potential future in sports. “I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, ‘Well, I like soccer, dad, actually,’” [he said](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615) at a 2024 campaign event. “I thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you can’t talk them into everything.” ## Political Presence Barron’s 18th birthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However, [Chelsea Clinton](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/chelsea-clinton), the daughter of former President [Bill Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/bill-clinton) and [Hillary Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/hillary-clinton), has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. “I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,” [she said](https://people.com/chelsea-clinton-barron-trump-unimpeachable-right-privacy-8619246). In May 2024, news broke that Barron had been [selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida](https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/barron-trump-delegate-republican-national-convention/index.html) at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump [announced two days later](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/barron-trump-delegate-florida-republican-national-convention/) that he “regretfully declines to participate” at the convention because of prior commitments. > Fact Check: We strive for accuracy and fairness.
