Melania Trump Reportedly Upset Over Barron Trump Being Pulled Into Public Spotlight
Even families in the public eye deal with private disagreements, and according to new reports, the Trumps are no exception.
Sources claim there has been tension behind the scenes between former First Lady Melania Trump and her stepson Eric Trump, after comments he recently made about Melania’s son, Barron Trump.
Melania and former President Donald Trump share one child together, Barron, born in 2006, now 19 years old.
Donald Trump also has four older children from previous relationships: Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany.
Where the Disagreement Started
The situation reportedly began when Eric publicly commented on what Barron allegedly said to President Joe Biden during Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
The moment originally went viral, with people online trying to “lip-read” Barron during a brief exchange with Biden.
Nearly a year later, Eric revisited the topic during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show. He shared that he had called Barron directly to ask what he actually said during that moment.
According to Eric, Barron’s words were polite and respectful, something along the lines of “Congratulations and best of luck to you.”
Eric went on to emphasize that Barron is a “nice kid” and would never say anything inappropriate in public.
Why Melania Reportedly Didn’t Approve
Despite Eric’s comments being positive, a source told StyleCaster that Melania was unhappy with Barron’s name being brought into the public spotlight again.
According to the insider:
“Melania does not want Barron discussed. Ever.”
The source also claimed that Melania allegedly told Eric to “shut his mouth,” expressing concern that Barron, now in college, wants a quiet, private life without headlines, memes, or social media attention focused on him.
Melania has long been known for fiercely protecting her son’s privacy.
The insider described her as guarding Barron “like a lioness,” especially when public conversations involve her youngest child.
A Family That Values Privacy
While the Trump family is frequently in the news, Melania has consistently taken steps to shield Barron from political drama and media speculation. If the reports are accurate, this latest moment highlights her continued effort to maintain his privacy as he enters adulthood.
Whether this behind-the-scenes tension will blow over remains to be seen, but one thing seems clear: Melania intends to keep her son out of the spotlight whenever possible.
Tyla has reached out to representatives for Eric Trump and the White House for further comment.
