President Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron recently shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower for a romantic date, according to multiple reports published September 29, 2025. The 19-year-old college student closed off one complete floor of his father’s Manhattan skyscraper strictly for security reasons while hosting an unnamed female companion.
A source briefed on the matter told Page Six that the decision to hold the date at the family’s Fifth Avenue property was entirely security-driven rather than an attempt to impress. The extensive security measures included Secret Service presence throughout the evening at the Midtown skyscraper.
Barron currently lives at the White House while attending classes at New York University’s Washington, D.C. campus, which began September 2, 2025. The NYU program enrolls 60 to 100 students per semester in courses covering politics, public policy, history, economics and journalism. Undergraduate studies cost $32,000 per semester.
During his freshman year, Barron attended NYU’s main Greenwich Village campus in New York City, where he caused considerable attention among female students. A fellow student indicated that despite his awkward height, he was popular and had many girls pursuing him. The 6-foot-7-inch sophomore reportedly attracted significant interest from classmates who found him tall and handsome.
Security constraints have significantly impacted Barron’s social interactions throughout his college experience. Sources revealed in April that he cannot distribute his phone number to new friends due to privacy concerns, instead communicating with peers through Xbox gaming console chat platforms and Discord. An insider explained that sharing his personal number would result in constant calls from strangers, requiring frequent number changes.
The president’s son has maintained an extremely low public profile, with rare recent appearances. In March, he was photographed arriving at Trump Tower with his mother Melania Trump, wearing a Rolex valued at nearly $50,000. His last major public appearance occurred during his father’s inauguration ceremony in January.
Reports about Barron’s dating life have varied throughout 2025. In July, sources suggested he had found love and was spending considerable time with a romantic interest, though the person’s identity remained undisclosed. However, subsequent reports in late summer indicated he had stepped back from dating to focus on business ventures and family time.
The teenager has reportedly built substantial wealth through cryptocurrency investments, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $150 million. Sources indicated Barron convinced his family to establish World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm that launched in early September and generated a $5 billion windfall for the Trump family. He allegedly spent his summer meeting business partners and negotiating deals.
The recent media attention surrounding Barron’s date sparked controversy when Fox News hosts Jesse Watters and Julie Banderas discussed the incident on television. Banderas stated, “This guy’s got game” while speculating about the evening’s outcome. The segment drew sharp criticism from media watchdogs and online commentators who deemed the discussion inappropriate.
Multiple outlets have questioned the persistent media focus on Barron’s romantic life, noting the teenager has rarely spoken publicly and deliberately maintains privacy. Critics argue that anonymous sources repeatedly promoting his supposed appeal to female students may be orchestrated, drawing comparisons to his father’s history of using pseudonymous publicists in the 1980s and 1990s.
First Lady Melania Trump previously acknowledged that her son cannot experience typical college life due to his unique circumstances. She indicated that his university experience differs significantly from other students, with Secret Service details accompanying him to classes and transportation via motorcade. A classmate noted that while Barron seemed interested in normal activities like basketball, security restrictions likely prevented participation.
Barron is expected to graduate from NYU in 2028, continuing his studies in business while managing his growing cryptocurrency portfolio and maintaining his role within the Trump family’s expanding financial enterprises. The White House and Trump Tower representatives did not respond to requests for comment regarding the reported date.
