Has Barron Trump Ever Been Arrested? The Truth About The Rumor

Being Barron Trump can't be easy. The first son has to contend with the fact that his father, President Donald Trump, will leave behind a legacy fraught with controversy, but people simply can't stop spreading stories about him either. There are tons of wild rumors about his life that Barron will never outrun, and in December 2025, another one was added to an already long list. Gossip abounded that the first son had been arrested for a scuffle in a bar sometime after his father's first term culminated. A clip purporting to show the late Judge Frank Caprio discussing overseeing Barron's case even went viral.

Only, this footage was entirely fabricated with the help of artificial intelligence, and anyone who looked a little closer would have spotted some inconsistencies, like the judge's droning voice and the warped U.S. flag in the background. In the fake clip, the judge could be heard confirming that he'd sentenced Barron to prison for two years. Of course, none of this ever happened. Barron never got into a nasty confrontation in a bar, and he surely never got a prison sentence. That would have been national news. Of course, this isn't the only eyebrow-raising story that's made the rounds about the college student.

Rumors swirled in November 2025 that he gave New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a run for her money on the Senate floor. Posts on social media claimed Barron took to the floor to fact-check Ocasio-Cortez's speech, totally humiliating her in the process. The very fact that it indicated this supposed incident took place on the Senate floor should have been enough of a red flag. Ocasio-Cortez is a congresswoman, not a senator, and it would therefore be unusual for her to deliver a speech on the Senate floor in the first place.

Everything we know about Barron Trump's love life solely consists of gossip, and the rumor mill keeps churning relentlessly when it comes to the first son's romantic life. It's no wonder he tries to stay out of the public eye as much as possible, but in January 2026, gossip columnist Rob Shuter attributed Barron's low profile to heartbreak. "Barron ended a relationship in November that he genuinely thought would last. They were approaching their one-year anniversary in January, and that mattered to him," a source dished to Shuter, for his Substack. Apparently, his girlfriend is the one who instigated the breakup, and sources told Shuter that she might have some regrets, with the pair later attempting to rekindle their romance. We're wondering if this is the same girl Barron Trump organized the secretive date at Trump Tower for. 

Despite the rumors that the New York University student has a girlfriend, fans have taken it upon themselves to play matchmaker. Some of them believe that the first son and Spanish Princess Leonor are destined to be together. There's even a 10-minute AI-generated video on YouTube showing the two getting married. Other fans reckon Barron should set his sights on Denmark's Princess Isabella, in order to help his dad to get his hands on Greenland. Suffice it to say that we hope Barron doesn't Google himself. The search results are enough to make anyone's brain explode.
