Rumors about Barron Trump’s love life just got a blunt reality check — and it came straight from the woman at the center of the speculation.
New York Post columnist Rikki Schlott wasted no time shutting down viral chatter linking her romantically to the 20-year-old college student. After a now-deleted post on X tried to pair the two, Schlott fired back with a two-word response that instantly killed the buzz: “That’s a no.”
The bizarre rumor mill appeared to spin out of thin air, though some pointed to one of Schlott’s past articles about Barron’s college life — where she described him as “hunky” — as the spark that lit the fire. Others noted the two share a connection to New York University, where Barron is currently enrolled and Schlott previously studied.
Still, the journalist made it crystal clear — there’s no romance, no secret relationship, and no story there.
Barron, the youngest son of Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite growing public curiosity about his life. He began attending NYU’s Stern School of Business in 2024 after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in Florida, a move his father praised at the time as a “high-quality” choice.
But don’t expect a typical college experience.
Melania has previously admitted it’s nearly impossible for her son to live like an average student given his high-profile background — though she’s said she’s proud of how he’s handled it.
Behind the scenes, Barron is said to keep things low-key. Instead of handing out his phone number, insiders claim he prefers connecting with friends through gaming platforms like Xbox and Discord — a move meant to avoid the chaos that comes with being tied to one of the most recognizable families in America.
And while this latest rumor has been firmly shut down, it’s not the first time Barron’s love life has sparked headlines. Sources have previously claimed he’s popular on campus and even suggested he may have dated someone privately — though nothing has ever been confirmed.
For now, one thing is clear: the internet may be obsessed with Barron Trump’s dating life, but not every viral claim holds up — and this one was dead on arrival.

To everyone….MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!
