Donald Trump might be everywhere this week after false reports of his death went viral, but it turns out his teenage son Barron is quietly stealing attention of his own.
The 18-year-old is in his second year of a business degree at NYU, and despite being surrounded by the secret service, students say he’s somehow managing to blend in.
Barron is reportedly keeping his head down, but apparently, that hasn’t stopped him from being noticed.

“He’s a ladies’ man for sure,” an insider told People. “He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive – yes, even liberal people like him.”
But while he might be catching glances, it seems he’ll never be a normal student.
Fellow students admitted they find him “attractive,” though sightings are rare thanks to his security entourage. Secret Service agents have to follow Barron Trump everywhere he goes – including around uni.

An NYU student told TMZ Barron “barely exists” at uni because he isn’t allowed to stick around on campus, and has to be driven everywhere in an SUV.
The Secret Service also don’t allow Barron to give out his phone number to other students. A source told Page Six that sharing his number “creates more trouble than it’s worth”.
“If people get the number, they would give it out and then a million people would be calling non stop. You’d have to change the number constantly and it’d become a merry-go-round.”
Barron is also bilingual, speaking both English and Slovene, his mother Melania’s native language, which only adds to his mysterious, slightly exotic appeal on campus.
Despite his famous surname, Barron appears to be striking a careful balance between living a semi-normal college life and navigating the spotlight. But whether he’s actually interested in campus life or just politely enduring it while students quietly swoon remains to be seen.
For now, while Trump dominates the news cycle, Barron is quietly making a name for himself as NYU’s most unexpected heartthrob: tall, bilingual, and apparently quite liked by the ladies.
