KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump once referred to Barron Trump as his wife's son. 
  • Donald Trump is not close to his teenage son. 
  • Melania Trump is close to Barron Trump. 

Donald Trump has five children with three women and one of his kids is with his current wife, Melania Trump.

The FLOTUS is very close to her 13-year-old son, Barron Trump. Growing up, the first lady was a very hands-on mom to her only child. During her interview with Parenting two years ago, the former model said that she was the one who changed Barron’s diapers.

When the POTUS transferred to the White House in 2016, his wife and son decided to continue staying in New York until Barron’s school year was over. This suggests that Melania got to spend at least five months with her son, and it was just the two of them.

It is also uncommon for President Donald Trump to interact with Barron when they are in public. In fact, the teenager usually walks close to his mom rather than his dad.

During their recent visit to a restaurant, the FLOTUS also seemed very protective of the teenager. While the crowds cheered loudly for the Trumps, Melania gestured for Barron to move closer to her.

By the looks of it, Barron is closer to his mom than his dad. And the speculations heightened after the POTUS made a surprising remark while discussing the fight between China and the European Union.

“Vaping has become very big business as I understand it, giant business in a very short period of time. But we can't allow people to get sick, and we can't have our youth be so affected... that's how the First Lady got involved. She's got a son - together - that's a beautiful young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it,” he said.

Instead of referring to Barron as his or their son, he said that Barron was his wife’s son before using the word together.

But despite his cryptic remark, Melania previously revealed that her husband and son have a blast whenever they are together. They enjoy playing golf, and they also eat dinner together.
