BARRON Trump towered over his parents as his dad claimed victory in the 2024 election.
He is Donald Trump’s only child with his third wife Melania – here we take a look at how tall he is.
How tall is Barron Trump?
Trump has said before that Barron’s height is 6-foot-9 after years of speculation, but it’s more widely cited as 6-foot-7.
When discussing his family back in January 2024, as he stopped off in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump joked about the real reason Barron reached the height he has.
His grandmother’s cooking.
Trump thanked his mother-in-law Amalija Knavs, who died this year, for everything she has done for the family.
“Boy did she take care of Barron,” Trump said.
“That’s how he got so tall – he only ate her food.”
It’s not the first time Trump has joked about Barron’s height.
He first bragged about his son in an interview with Logan Paul.
He said: “I couldn’t get him to play basketball. He plays soccer. He’s a good athlete too. Good student, good athlete.”
Barron went on to call his son a “big boy” and said his height was “6’9”.
It followed a debate over Barron’s height first sparked when he was seen disembarking Air Force One with the former president and former first lady in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, during Thanksgiving weekend in 2019.
It was one of the first times that Barron, then aged 13, appeared to be as tall as his father – who stands at 6-foot-3. Melania is 5-foot-11.
In 2022, the teen was a towering presence as the family mourned Trump’s first wife alongside his mother Melania, and Don Jr’s fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Who is Barron Trump?
Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, is his only child with his current wife, Melania Trump.
His nickname is Little Donald because he shares many similarities with his dad.
Melania said: “He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy.

“He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. Sometimes I call him little Donald.
“He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him ‘Little Donald.'”
Additionally, Barron is bilingual, speaking both English and Slovenian with his mom and grandparents.
Barron has appeared on TV alongside his dad on both The Apprentice and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
However, he only made very few appearances during his father’s presidential campaign, with Melania saying the couple wished to shield him from the spotlight.
How old is Barron Trump?
Barron Trump was born on March 20, 2006 – a year after his parents’ 2005 nuptials.
He is currently 18 years old and attends NYU Stern School of Business.
Barron is closer in age to his eight nieces and nephews than his siblings.
In fact, there is a 28-year difference between Barron and Donald Jr.
