A potential member of the New York University’s College Republicans chapter, and President Trump’s youngest son Barron has been a focus of intense fascination. A first year student at NYU Stern School of Business, he has been paired with Spain’s Princess Leonor by netizens.
A private person with no social media accounts, Barron Trump is known to have great aspirational influence among young voters in the US. As of October 2024, Donald Trump didn’t believe his son was ever in a romantic relationship. Both Leonor and Barron come from wealthy families and have created waves on social media as they are rumoured to head down a potential path of power and influence.
This ‘transatlantic’ relationship was jokingly viewed by an X user as, “If we can’t make the Trumps King of America, might as well make Barron the King of Spain.” Creating quite a wave on Reddit as well, users commented, Barron Trump and the Princess of Spain Leonor would be a perfect couple.”
If we can’t make the Trumps King of America, might as well make Barron the King of Spain.

Anonymous posts have said that he was reportedly accompanied by guards and kept to himself implying that he has never had a romantic relationship before. President Trump even commented on his romantic involvement publicly while also emphasising on his appearance in October 2024 to the Daily Mail.
College Republicans president labelled the 18-year-old son of Trump the “future of the conservative moment” amid reports from USA Today. Welcoming him as a future member of the party, he has still not made a public comment or has any social media presence.
After dating advice from brother Eric, Barron Trump has turned heads with his rumoured relationship with Spanish princess Leonor. Excited netizens have speculated on how their relationship would look like. New York Magazine produced a feature titled “The Cruel Kids Table” in late January discussing the “casually cruel Trumpers who have their sight set on America”.
Amidst reigniting the MAGA Campaign, these rumours come at a time where the Republicans aim to be more relatable with the young-voters. While the speculation surrounding Barron Trump and Princess Leonor continues to fuel social media intrigue, neither has made any public statement confirming or denying the rumors. As the youngest Trump quietly navigates his first year at NYU and Leonor embraces her royal duties, their perceived connection remains more of an internet fascination than a confirmed reality.
