President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have been married for 20 years. The couple welcomed their only child together in 2006, the same year when they tied the knot.
Barron Trump grew up in the Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he is reported to have an entire floor for himself.
Although he has lived surrounded by luxury, he never had a traditional nanny while growing up. Instead, Melania took all the care of him, and that included preparing him breakfast and lunch every day.
In the past, she spoke of him as a very creative child. In a 2015 People interview, she said: “Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time as you know my husband is traveling all the time.”
“We keep it down to a minimum,” Trump added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”
They let his creativity grow and never limited him when it came to his interests. Speaking to Parenting, as quoted by Metro, Melania said: “In his space, the décor style of the rest of our home is mixed with what he is into: planes and helicopters.
“We let him be creative; let his imagination fly and do whatever he wants. Whatever he wants to do with his own room later on, he can do it. Whatever he wants to do with his own room he can do it. He draws on the walls, we can paint it over.
“When he was smaller, he started drawing on the walls,” she added. “His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote ‘Barron’s Bakery’ on the wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where does the creativity go?”
Fast forward to today, Barron is 19 and attending attending Stern Business School at the New York University, unlike the rest of his siblings who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.
While studying, Barron is not staying in a dorm like most students, in fact, he’s living at home, a decision both him and his parents believed to be in his best interest.
“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” a source told People. “Barron already has his own political ideas. It all needs to be monitored in light of the situation.
“Whether or not others think he is capable of being on his own, Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible,” that source said. “I see that continuing.”
Barron is Melania’s only child, while Donald Trump has more children from his previous marriages to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples.
Barron is his youngest child, but if it was up to him to decide, he and Melania would have more children.
In an interview with Fox & Friends last year, Melania Trump shared that after Barron’s birth, Donald wanted to have more kids, but she was happy with one.
“I was always perfectly fine with one. And Donald was encouraging [us] to have more,” Melania recalled. “And I said, like, ‘I’m completely fine with one because it’s [a] very busy life.’”
Melania describes her son as an incredible young man.
“I raised Barron as [his] own person and gave him his own yes and nos. I respect that. It was his decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that,” Melania wrote in her memoir.
“He’s [an] incredible young man. I’m very proud… His strength, his intelligence, his knowledge, his kindness. It’s admirable. He’s enjoying his college days. I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19 year old child.”
