On March 20, 2024, former President Donald Trump's youngest child, son Barron Trump, celebrated his 18th birthday.
To mark the dawn of Barron's adulthood, join us as we take a look back at the best photos of the business and political scion — a high school senior who's Donald's fifth child and the only child of the ex-president's third wife, Melania Trump — through the years…
Barron Trump is pictured here at the funeral of his grandmother, Amalija Knavs, in Palm Beach, Florida, on Jan. 18, 2024.
Donald praised his youngest son in a September 2023 interview with Megyn Kelly. "Barron is a very good athlete. He's a good kid. He's a good-looking kid. He's a great student," he said.
In March 2024, a social source told People magazine that Barron was looking at colleges. Melania's "main job is taking care of Barron, and I think it's possible that she will follow him wherever he goes to school," the social source said. "Barron is shy and reserved, and she has been a good mother to him all of these years."
