Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, made a rare appearance at Mar-a-Lago over the Thanksgiving weekend, joining his parents, Melania and Donald Trump, for a festive dinner at the exclusive Florida estate. The NYU freshman, who is currently studying at the university's Stern School of Business, was seen dining with his parents on Saturday night in a suit, alongside several high-profile guests.
In videos shared on Instagram by influencer Karina Safarova Rudeva, Barron could be seen enjoying a meal on the patio with his family, including his maternal grandfather, Viktor Knav, who was also present. Melania, dressed elegantly in an all-white outfit, and Donald, in a navy blue suit, sat alongside their son. The footage captured the warm and festive atmosphere of the evening, with the Trump family enjoying a quiet moment at their luxurious estate.
Barron, who was last seen at the election watch party, is expected to return to New York for his studies after the Thanksgiving break. Meanwhile, his mother, Melania Trump, is reportedly focusing more on motherhood, planning occasional visits to the White House and splitting her time between Florida and Manhattan.
