WASHINGTON, DC: Barron Trump attended the State of the Union address delivered by his father, President Donald Trump on Wednesday, February 25, marking his first time at the annual speech.
The 19-year-old joined his siblings and their partners in the House chamber for the occasion highlighting family unity. His appearance drew attention due to his typically low public profile.

Barron Trump joined Donald Trump’s other children and their partners in the House chamber: Donald Trump Jr and fiancee Bettina Anderson; Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner; Eric Trump and Lara Trump; and Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos.
The president’s youngest son, who is attending New York University, has kept a low profile during his father’s second term. He is listed as a co-founder of Trump-affiliated stable coin company World Liberty Financial.
Instagram Stories shared by Tiffany, Ivanka and Eric offered glimpses from inside the Capitol. Barron posed alongside his siblings, wearing a royal blue tie.
Earlier this month, Barron made headlines after a Russian man was convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend in London, with him emerging as a key witness in the case. Just two days prior to Trump’s second inauguration, he made a panicked call to City of London Police, saying he witnessed the attack over a video call.

Barron Trump told an operator that “a girl” he knew was “getting beat up.” In an email to investigators in May 2025, he described a “shirtless man with darkish hair,” later identified as Matvei Rumiantsev, who answered a video call from the woman’s phone for “one second.”
He said the view then switched to the woman “getting hit while crying” during a five- to seven-second window. Rumiantsev admitted in evidence that he was “jealous to some extent” of Barron Trump and complained that she was “frankly leading him on.”
Weeks before his involvement in the case became public, Barron Trump faced criticism after being linked to a close associate of internet influencers Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, who face trafficking charges brought by multiple women in multiple countries.
Last year, the New York Times reported that Barron admired Tate and had spoken with him over Zoom, citing their mutual friend Justin Waller.
