What is Barron Trump's exact birthdate, schooling history, and family life details?

1. Birthdate and basic identity: the record

Public biographical entries and mainstream reporting consistently list Barron William Trump’s birthdate as March 20, 2006, and his birthplace as New York City ^{[1] [8]}. People magazine marked his 19th birthday on March 20, 2025, confirming the year and day used across profiles ^[2].

2. Schooling chronology: from Manhattan to Palm Beach to NYU

Multiple outlets trace Barron’s education in three clear stages. He attended Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan through fifth grade (early years) ^{[3] [1]}. When his father won the 2016 election, Melania and Barron delayed moving to Washington so he could finish school; later he enrolled at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, during that period ^{[4] [3]}. He spent his final high-school years at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, graduating in May (reported May 2024/2025 depending on story) and then began college at New York University’s Stern School of Business as a freshman in fall 2024/spring 2025 ^{[5] [6] [9]}. News outlets report he completed his freshman year at NYU Stern in spring 2025 and planned to continue there as a sophomore ^{[6] [10]}.

3. College choices and public questions

Coverage notes that Barron chose NYU Stern over family-traditional options like the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown, but there is no definitive public record confirming applications or rejections to particular schools such as Harvard; spokespeople have denied some application claims ^{[11] [6]}. Reporting emphasized the novelty of Barron breaking family patterns by choosing NYU—a Manhattan campus close to his childhood home ^[9].

4. Family life: composition and public role

Barron is the only child of Donald Trump and Melania (née Knauss) Trump and the youngest of Donald Trump’s five children; his four older half-siblings are Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany ^{[7] [1]}. Coverage portrays Melania as protective of Barron and reports close family bonds, especially with maternal relatives such as grandfather Viktor Knavs; Melania’s choices about residence and publicity have been framed as prioritizing Barron’s privacy ^{[12] [13]}.

5. Public profile and privacy: a deliberately managed life

News outlets and profiles emphasize that Barron has been kept largely out of the political spotlight until adulthood, attending select family events but otherwise maintaining a low public profile, no public social accounts, and limited public appearances while at NYU ^{[5] [14]}. Reporting also notes occasional involvement in family political strategy—some stories credit him with helping connect the campaign to younger voters via social media and podcast appearances—but those assertions are attributed to sources and public statements rather than independent documentary records ^{[1] [2]}.

6. Citizenship and misinformation context

Fact-checking outlets have confronted social-media posts that questioned Barron’s U.S. citizenship based on timing of his mother’s naturalization; independent fact-checks state such claims are false or misleading and explain the legal background that would make those rumors incorrect ^[15]. Available sources document these fact-checks rather than any credible evidence to the contrary ^[15].

7. What reporting does not confirm

Available sources do not mention precise birth-hour or hospital details beyond birthplace (not found in current reporting). There is no authoritative public record in these sources confirming which colleges Barron formally applied to or was definitively rejected from—several outlets note denials from spokespeople regarding Harvard/other applications ^[11]. Claims about his net worth, secret aliases at school, or extravagant anecdotal details appear in tabloids or unverified pieces and are flagged or contradicted elsewhere ^{[16] [17]}.

Limitations and sources

This summary relies only on the supplied news and biographical items. Facts above are drawn from mainstream reporting and profiles: People and AP reporting on his birthday and NYU enrollment ^{[2] [5]}, profiles and timelines in Biography and Business Insider ^{[1] [18]}, Palm Beach Post coverage of schooling and family events ^{[9] [19]}, and fact-checking on citizenship questions ^[15]. Where outlets disagree or present sourced claims (e.g., campaign influence or application rumors), I have noted that those assertions derive from reported sources rather than court or university records ^{[2] [11]}.
