He spent high school out of the spotlight — no social media, no yearbook photos, and agents by his side. But now, Barron Trump is stepping into a new chapter. As he earns attention in college for his charm, a former classmate has surfaced with photos and claims of a past relationship.
Barron Trump reportedly spent his high school years keeping to himself, skipping school dances, and staying off social media. However, that’s changed in college. Now a student in New York, the teenager is reportedly well-liked on campus — and even considered a “ladies man.”

Barron Trump’s High School Years and College Life
Before the buzz and the headlines about his love life, Barron lived a tightly guarded and surprisingly quiet existence inside the gates of Oxbridge Academy — an elite private school in Palm Beach, Florida.
As the only child of Donald and Melania and the youngest son of the U.S. president, his high school experience was anything but typical.

According to sources familiar with his time at the school, Barron didn’t just have classmates — he had bodyguards. Secret Service agents reportedly followed him across campus, waited outside classrooms, and even escorted him to the bathroom.
Furthermore, his name didn’t appear in any yearbooks, and he was registered in the school’s records under the alias “Jack” to prevent data leaks or grade exposure.

Teachers and classmates all knew him as Barron, though the name Jack occasionally drew confused glances during roll call — especially from substitutes.
Despite the restrictions, Barron left an impression. Former classmates described him as charismatic and impeccably well-behaved. One student shared:
“Barron was very funny and sociable. He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining.”

He was also viewed as a bit of a mystery — someone who didn’t attend school dances or join in on football games. “I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates,” the same source added. “If he had a girlfriend, it was top secret. We never knew about it.”
Melania, known for her privacy and protectiveness over her son, reportedly insisted that Barron stay off social media altogether. As a result, his image never surfaced online from school functions.

Rumors once swirled that he appeared in the background of a glitzy Monte Carlo–themed dance, but friends confirmed it was a case of mistaken identity. However, while Barron may not have immersed himself in the typical high school social scene, he did find his own rhythm.

He enjoyed playing the video game Clash of Clans and was known to be passionate about soccer. In fact, his father once shared a lighthearted anecdote. The president recalled:
