Journalist Rikki Schlott firmly shut down speculation that she was romantically involved with Barron Trump<\/a> as buzz spirals about his love life, Wonderwall.com<\/a> can reveal.<\/p>\n

The incident was sparked when a since-deleted X post appeared to link Donald<\/a> and Melania Trump<\/a>\u2018s son, 20, with the New York Post<\/a>columnist.<\/p>\n

Journalist Smacks Down Dating Rumors\"The<\/p>\n

The journalist had previously written articles about Barron Trump\u2019s college life. MEGA<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unclear why Barron and Schlott would be rumored to be dating in the first place, it\u2019s possible the odd connection was made because one of her articles on his college experience<\/a> referred to him as \u201chunky.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old is also currently a student at New York University, where Schlott previously studied.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the writer swiftly put those rumors to rest. On April 15, she reposted the now-deleted X<\/a> post and captioned it, \u201cThat\u2019s a no.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barron\u2019s College Life\"Donald<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s youngest son, Barron, is currently attending NYU. MEGA<\/p>\n

As previously reported, Barron began attending NYU\u2019s Stern School of Business in September 2024 after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach earlier that year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very high-quality place. He liked it. He liked the school<\/a>,\u201d his father, Donald, 79, said at the time of his youngest son\u2019s decision to go to business school. \u201cI went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn\u2019t do that. We went for Stern.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a December 2024 appearance on Fox and Friends, Melania, 55, said she didn\u2019t think it was \u201cpossible\u201d for her son to be a \u201cnormal student\u201d with average college experiences<\/a>, given his family connections, but she said she was \u201cvery proud\u201d of him.<\/p>\n

Barron is also reportedly a big fan of video games and has an array of friends that he plays with on his free time.<\/p>\n

Since giving out his personal phone number \u201ccreates more trouble than it\u2019s worth\u201d due to his high profile as the son of the POTUS, X-Box and Discord have been his communication platforms \u201cof choice\u201d in the past, according to an insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people get the number, they would give it out and then a million people would be calling nonstop. You\u2019d have to change the number constantly and it\u2019d become a merry-go-round,\u201d the source added. \u201cIt\u2019s gamer bro culture, they ask each other for their gamer tag. He knows the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
