During a podcast interview, Donald Trump shared some personal insights about his son Barron after being asked about the teenager’s romantic life. Typically reserved when discussing his 18-year-old son with Melania Trump, he addressed the topic candidly on the PBD podcast with Patrick Bet-David.
In response to Bet-David’s question about Barron’s social life at NYU, Trump replied directly, stating, “I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet.” He briefly elaborated before shifting the conversation. “He’s a good-looking guy,” Trump added, acknowledging his son’s attractiveness.

This exchange followed Bet-David’s description of a visit to Mar-a-Lago around Barron’s birthday, where he observed the young man’s social interactions. He noted Barron’s ability to engage with others at the table, remarking, “He had just turned 18, and I’m watching how he’s talking to Kobe, all these other guys sitting at the table. And I’m like: very interesting.”
Trump then referenced what Melania calls Barron, mentioning the nickname “Little Donald.” However, he opted for humor rather than confirmation, quipping, “He’s not so little because he’s a pretty tall guy.”
While in office, Trump and Melania made efforts to keep Barron out of the public eye during his school years. Now that he has turned 18, he’s gradually become more visible, although he did not attend the recent Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Bet-David recalled a quote from Trump when Barron was just 10 months old, highlighting his strong character traits. Trump commented on his son’s height and intelligence before the topic shifted back to dating. “He’s very smart. He’s a good student and does really well,” Trump noted. “He doesn’t mind being alone, but he gets along with people.”
After spending time with Barron, Bet-David described him as possessing “swagger,” humor, and wit. This revelation about Barron’s personal life is just one of several family insights Trump has shared during this election season, including announcing that his daughter Tiffany is expecting.
These family discussions arose in the middle of a broader interview in which Trump critiqued political rivals like Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, once again casting doubt on his opponents’ racial identities.
