Barron Trump’s half siblings — Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. — didn’t attend his 20th birthday party on Friday, March 20, and it seems they may not have been invited.
The NYU student, who is the president’s son with current wife Melania Trump, simply isn’t close to his other kids, a source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack on Monday, March 23.
“Melania is in charge, and she wanted this to be about Barron — not about Donald Trump, and not about his other children,” the source said.

“This was a small, controlled, private celebration,” the source added. “And certain people were simply not included.”
The source went on to note that Barron did not spend a lot of time with his father’s kids from his first marriage to Ivana Trump — Donald Jr. 48, Ivanka, 44, and Eric, 42 — when he was growing up.
The first lady has “always kept Barron separate,” the source said of Melania’s control over the guest list. “This just made it obvious.”

The source concluded by noting that everyone in the family is aware of their respective status in each other’s lives, “and who matters in Barron’s world.”
As the National Enquirer previously reported, his mother’s protectiveness previously made Barron the subject of some online ridicule, after the former model told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo in January that she needed to “be there for a child nonstop, especially when they need you. Especially at that age that Barron is.”
