While former President Donald Trump has consistently been in the public eye, his youngest son, Barron Trump, has largely stayed out of the spotlight, attempting to lead a relatively private life. However, a recent TikTok video from a user claiming to be Barron’s elementary school girlfriend has offered a rare glimpse into his personality.
The video, posted by @maddatitude, begins with the caption, “I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first boyfriend.” The video includes childhood photos of the TikToker, alongside what appears to be a class picture featuring a young Barron. The caption further explains, “When Trump was elected, he brought the entire class to the White House.”
This detail aligns with past reports from May 2017, when Barron, then a student at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York, invited his 5th-grade classmates to visit the White House. A source at the time told Page Six that “Barron was really sweet. He was so excited to show his classmates around the White House.”
In the TikTok comments, @maddatitude had only kind words for her alleged childhood friend, describing Barron as “the nicest” and “the best,” according to Nicki Swift. Another former classmate named Mo also vouched for Barron, calling him “a really nice kid.” The TikToker even mentioned Barron’s deep voice, which she found notable for someone so young at the time.
She also said his slight Slovenian accent, inherited from his mother Melania Trump, was detectable in the way he pronounced certain words. This mirrors Barron’s earlier appearance on Larry King Live, where he spoke with a noticeable accent, although little is known about how his speech has changed over time.
While the claim of their childhood relationship remains unverified, @maddatitude described Barron as a “lil shy boy,” and the details she shared align with what little is known about his reserved nature. She noted that their elementary romance ended when “he went to Florida for the summer.” However, Barron’s shyness seems to have faded as he matured.
According to an April 2024 podcast, Barron now exudes confidence, reportedly “running dinner” at Mar-a-Lago, impressing guests with his poise and sense of humor. His mother, Melania, who has always been protective of him, has previously described Barron as “very strong-minded” and “independent.”
