First Lady Melania Trump<\/a> is sharing more details about what her son, Barron Trump<\/a>, was like as a child.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s wife, 56, spoke about her role as mother to Barron, 20, ahead of Mother\u2019s Day. In a written interview with USA Today<\/a> published late last week, the former model revealed that her son had quite a close relationship with her late mother, Amalija Knavs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was the epitome of love and warmth, and for Barron, a grandmother who filled every moment with joy and wisdom,\u201d Melania said of her mom, who died on January 9, 2024, at age 78.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery story she read to Barron sparked his imagination<\/a>, and every game they played strengthened their bond,\u201d Melania said. \u201cHer delicious meals were more than just food; they were a celebration of togetherness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first lady said that Barron and her mother shared a \u201cdistinct bond, beginning with her gentle embrace,\u201d adding: \u201cWhen Barron was young, they often cuddled, played Barron\u2019s favorite games<\/a>, and read books together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would often hear their laughter and personally felt their joy, knowing they were creating unforgettable memories together,\u201d Melania wrote. \u201cTheir connection was so magical. And I loved watching it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melania added that Amalija made sure Barron \u201cfelt a strong connection<\/a> to his Slovenian roots by sharing books and stories from our childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy preparing traditional Slovenian dishes, my mother filled our home with delicious aromas but also connected Barron to his heritage,\u201d Melania said, explaining that they usually spoke in \u201cthe Slovenian language<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the National Enquirer previously reported<\/a>, it seems as though Barron is not as close to some of the other members in his family, and it appeared that his half siblings \u2014 Ivanka<\/a>, Eric<\/a> and Donald Trump Jr.<\/a> \u2014 didn\u2019t attend his 20th birthday party on March 20.<\/p>\n

As for Melania, Barron\u2019s mother also penned an op-ed for The Washington Post in celebration of Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time to revisit the enduring American family traditions that have supported generations, while also recognizing the challenges for mothers of building both a career and a home<\/a>,\u201d she said in the piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis balancing act reflects the realities women face today,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
