Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump and the only child from his marriage to First Lady Melania Trump, captured people's attention during his father's inauguration. The 18-year-old stood out for his remarkable height, striking resemblance to his father, and elegance displayed throughout the event.
Previously shielded from media scrutiny during Trump's first presidency due to his age, Barron is now legally an adult and increasingly in the public eye.
Since Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election as the Republican nominee, securing his return to the White House, Barron has become the most talked-about of Trump's five children. Here's what we know about him.
Who is Barron Trump?
The youngest son of the 47th President of the United States is a student at New York University, where he is pursuing a degree in Business. He is bilingual, fluent in English and Slovenian, his mother's native language.
According to TMZ, Barron keeps a low profile on campus. He moves quickly between classes, avoids socializing extensively, and is always accompanied by Secret Service agents, who transport him in a discreet yet luxurious vehicle.
Barron's favorite pastime is playing video games, which he uses as a way to connect with his peers.
"We're told Barron is a gamer, and he has been asking NYU students for their Discord usernames and gamertags to play together online. We hear one game he likes to play in particular is FIFA, the popular soccer video game," reported the entertainment outlet.
A proud father
"He's a smart one... But he's, he's a great guy. He's a little on the tall side. I will tell you, he's a tall one but he's a good-looking guy and he's really been a great student. And he does like politics. It's sort of funny. He'll tell me sometimes, 'Dad, this is what you have to do,'" he told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT Philadelphia.
Melania Trump also praised Barron, noting his key role in her husband's return to the White House.
"Nowadays, the young generation, they don't sit in front of TV anymore. They're all on the tablets, they're on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers. He was very vocal and he gave advice to his father and it was incredible how he brought in success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and talk to. " she shared on Fox News.
The First Lady described her son in glowing terms:
"He's a grown young man. I'm very proud of him – about his knowledge, even about politics, and giving advice to his father. He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation."

Dressed in a navy blue suit paired with a matching tie and a crisp white shirt, Barron completed his look with gold cufflinks and a U.S. flag pin on his lapel.
