“Future Mrs. Barron Trump?” — NYU Student Maria Arana Breaks Silence on Rumors Linking Her to Donald Trump’s Son | HO

Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump, has spent most of his life outside the spotlight. But as the 19-year-old begins to step into adulthood — and higher education — public curiosity about his personal life has started to grow.

Now a student at NYU’s prestigious Stern Business School, Barron has been quietly making his way through college life in New York City. While surrounded by Secret Service protection, he’s still managed to spark attention on campus — and beyond. From his thrifty use of an $88 backpack to sightings of him sporting a gold Rolex Daytona, Barron’s quiet presence is anything but unnoticed.

Recently, the internet lit up with speculation over his dating life after Maria Arana, a 21-year-old psychology student at NYU, was branded the potential “future Mrs. Barron Trump.” And now, for the first time, she’s speaking out.

The Viral Rumor That Started It All

Gossip began to swirl on social media when internet sleuths noticed that Maria, a Mexican-American student who grew up in Miami, was attending the same university as Barron. Photos of her modeling and attending upscale events led some fans to jump to conclusions — calling her the most likely candidate to become Mrs. Trump 2.0.

But according to Vanity Fair, Maria was just as surprised as anyone when her name was suddenly attached to Donald Trump’s son.

“I just thought it was very random,” Maria said in the interview. “But it’s not like I was against it.”

Maria revealed that she has never met Barron Trump, though she has noticed the security detail that follows him around campus. The spectacle of black SUVs and Secret Service agents has become a routine sight at NYU since Barron enrolled in fall 2024.

“I’ve seen the motorcade drop someone off near my building,” she said, “but I had no idea people thought we were dating.”

A Bachelor in the Spotlight
Despite his fame, Barron Trump has remained a mystery to the public. His older siblings — Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric — have embraced the spotlight and even the political arena, but Barron has maintained a low profile throughout his teenage years.

However, those close to him describe him as charming, social, and smart. Sources told People Magazine that Barron has become “popular with the ladies” since arriving at NYU.

“He’s tall, handsome, and a bit of a ladies’ man,” one student said. “Even liberal students find him attractive. There’s a fascination with who he is.”

Still, Barron’s intense privacy, combined with the constant presence of federal protection, makes it hard for real relationships to blossom. To connect with peers, he’s reportedly turned to online gaming, inviting classmates to play with him virtually — a move that shows his attempt to live a normal college life.

Past Rumors and Girlfriend Claims

This isn’t the first time Barron’s romantic life has drawn attention. Earlier this year, a former fifth-grade classmate named Maddie claimed via TikTok that she was once Barron’s first girlfriend. She posted photos from a White House field trip during Trump’s presidency and shared anecdotes from their time at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School.

“He was my first BF,” Maddie said in her post. “He was the best — the nicest.”

Their relationship, according to her, ended when Barron transferred schools and they went long-distance.

In addition, Barron has also been rumored to be dating a model named Klara Jones, reportedly two years his senior. Though they’ve allegedly been seen together at events, no relationship has been confirmed.

The Trump Family Weighs In

Donald Trump himself recently commented on Barron’s love life in an appearance on the PBD Podcast. When asked if his son was dating anyone, the former president replied:

“I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet. I’m not sure he’s there yet.”

Trump described Barron as “social but independent,” suggesting that while he enjoys company, he’s comfortable being alone.

Barron’s older brother Eric Trump even offered his own advice:

“You’re probably the most-watched bachelor in the world right now. Just be careful — there are a lot of eyes on you.”

A Normal Life in an Extraordinary World?

Despite being the heir to a global business empire and political dynasty, Barron Trump appears to be trying to lead an ordinary life. His modest backpack, casual campus attire, and efforts to blend in say a lot about his desire for normalcy.

And as for Maria Arana, the woman branded as his future wife? She’s taking the rumors in stride.

“It was all just internet fun,” she said. “But who knows? Maybe one day we’ll meet.”

Until then, Barron Trump remains one of the most intriguing — and elusive — young public figures in America.
