A teenager in the White House again: Trump’s youngest son Barron turns 13

Barron Trump, the youngest of President Trump’s children, turned 13 years old Wednesday.

His mother, first lady Melania Trump, marked the occasion with a celebratory Twitter post: “Happy Birthday BWT.”


Barron William Trump becomes the latest in a series of teenagers to grow up in the White House, including Malia and Sasha Obama, who both entered their teenage years while their father was president, and Chelsea Clinton who turned 13 in 1993, the same year her father, Bill Clinton, became president.

Jenna and Barbara Bush, the twin daughters of George W. Bush, were 19 when Bush became president in 2001 and turned 20 in November of that year.

Barron is the only child of the president and first lady, and the youngest of Trump’s five children. Donald Trump Jr., 41, Ivanka Trump, 37, and Eric Trump, 35, were born of his marriage to Ivana Trump, while Tiffany Trump, 25, was the only child from his six-year marriage to actress Marla Maples in the 1990s. Melania Trump, 48, and Donald Trump, 72, married in 2005.
