Five Rumored Girlfriends of Barron Trump: Separating Fact and Fiction (3 of 3)

Mystery Girlfriend X

Back in the summer of 2026, an anonymous “college buddy” of Barron’s told NewsNation that Barron ‘has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot.’ That’s literally the extent of the report. Barron’s friend really has nothing to gain by making up a story, especially one this benign and free of juicy details. Although his dad has stated that he isn’t aware of any girlfriends, it’s extremely unlikely that his parents would have imposed a “no dating policy” on their son. If he found a girl on campus that he likes, more power to him. However, until Barron makes some kind of grand announcement that he’s found his special someone, we’re going to remain skeptical about any of these dating rumors.

It turns out our skepticism wasn’t misplaced. Recently, a viral TikTok set the internet buzzing by claiming that Barron Trump is dating WNBA star Caitlin Clark. The video surfaced just a week after NewsNation cited an anonymous source on the NYU campus suggesting Barron might be in his first confirmed relationship, which only added fuel to the fire.

In classic social-media fashion, the narrator didn’t hold back, dramatically insisting, “They’re not just close—they might be engaged,” and even claiming that Caitlin was the one who made the first move. Unsurprisingly, the rumor spread fast, hopping from TikTok to X in no time. But the excitement fizzled almost as quickly: Clark shut it down herself, clarifying that she had just celebrated her two-year anniversary with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. So much for that whirlwind romance.
