For a long time, it had been quiet around Barron Trump (20). But now, the youngest son of U.S. President Donald Trump (80) has reappeared in the spotlight. As pictures show, the 20-year-old was present on Sunday evening at the cage fighting event that was held, among other things, in honor of his father's 80th birthday. For Barron Trump, the evening marked his first public appearance in months.
He had last been seen in February with his parents Donald and Melania Trump (56) at an official event, the State of the Union address. At that time, he sat together with his siblings and their partners in the audience while his father delivered a speech lasting nearly two hours.
Seat behind the parents
At the fight night, Barron Trump took a seat directly behind his parents, alongside his brother Donald Trump Jr. and his wife Bettina Anderson. He was hard to miss - Barron Trump towers over his entire family and reportedly measures around 6 feet 9 inches.
The rest of the family was also in attendance: Eric Trump with his wife Lara, Tiffany Trump with her husband Michael Boulos, as well as Trump's granddaughter Kai, who had accompanied the President to the third game of the NBA Finals earlier this month.
A son who avoids the spotlight
Appearances like this are the exception for Barron Trump. The student, who attends the New York University campus in Washington D.C., consistently stays in the background. He does not maintain his own social media account, and even during his first year of study at NYU, he reportedly kept to himself. He rarely shows up at his father's major appearances.
Birthday and anniversary on one evening
The UFC spectacle was officially dedicated to the 250th birthday of the USA, but coincided with the President's 80th birthday. The evening did not go smoothly: due to bad weather, the start was delayed by one hour. Instead of beginning at 8 p.m., the program with seven fights didn't start until 9 p.m.
