Barron Trump 'Stays Away From the Spotlight'
Barron Trump is 'focused on how he presents himself,' an insider dished.
According to a source close to the family, Trump, 19, is "very focused on how he presents himself now."
"He’s thoughtful, deliberate, and wants to be confident when he speaks, but he does it quietly, without drawing attention," they dished.
Another insider shared: "He stays away from the spotlight whenever possible. He’s very aware of his privacy, and his mother makes sure it stays that way. Melania is fiercely protective of him."
Melania Trump 'Watches Over' Barron 'Closely'
Melania Trump has 'always been hands-on' with Barron, a source spilled.
Someone close to the family explained that Trump was raised mostly by his mother and his grandparents.
"Even as he grows older, Melania watches over him closely," they elaborated. "She wants him to have a normal life – free from cameras and public pressure – while still giving him the tools he needs to succeed.
"She’s always been hands-on, making sure he’s safe and grounded. That means guidance, protection, and helping him navigate the world on his own terms, alongside the grandparents who were there from day one."
Melania Trump Was Reportedly Livid Photos of Barron From Mar-a-Lago Leaked
Melania Trump 'made it clear Barron's privacy is non-negotiable' after photos of him at Mar-a-Lago leaked, an insider claimed.
As Shuter revealed, Barron is focusing on his speech in an effort to establish his own identity apart from his famous parents.
Old footage that has surfaced from when he was four years old shows Barron's accent is similar to his mother's, with one viral Larry King Live clip showing Barron saying he likes his suitcase in a thick accent.
As Radar recently reported, after photos of Barron popped up from Mar-a-Lago on Christmas Eve, his protective mother was less than enthused.
The pictures were reportedly taken by models Valeria Sokolova and Abla Sofy.
"Melania made it very clear that Barron's privacy is non-negotiable," a source spilled. "Anyone caught filming or taking pictures would face immediate consequences, including potential banning from the club."
"The message was clear: no cameras, no leaks. Private family moments stay private," another insider added.
