Melania Trump says Donald wanted to have more kids
When Melania Trump first met Donald, he already had four children. The couple married in 2005 and soon after welcomed Barron, making Melania a first-time mother. From the beginning, Barron’s life was anything but ordinary.
According to multiple media reports, just 20 minutes after Barron was born, Donald Trump phoned MSNBC’s long-running radio program Imus in the Morning, hosted by Don Imus, to share the news. Around the same time, a post on Melania Trump’s website announced that Barron Trump weighed 8½ pounds and measured 21 inches at birth.
“Everyone’s perfect,” Trump, then 59, told Imus. “I keep myself young, right? I have children; I stay young.”
Melania Trump decided not to hire a nanny when Barron was young
Later that same day, Trump also called Live with Regis and Kelly. Just two days earlier, host Regis Philbin and his wife, Joy Philbin, had visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago property. At the time, Philbin was unaware that Melania was about to give birth. Trump later explained that after the visit, he returned to New York to be with Melania for Barron’s arrival.
“When I left you, I had no idea this was going to happen,” Trump told Philbin, adding that Barron was born more than a week earlier than expected.
Given Donald Trump’s immense wealth, it’s no surprise that Barron Trump grew up surrounded by luxury. In an interview with Parenting, Melania Trump shared that Barron was fascinated by airplanes and helicopters from a young age. Despite their privileged lifestyle, she made it a point to prepare his breakfast and lunch herself, and the family chose not to rely on a traditional nanny.
“Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time,” Melania said in a 2015 People interview. “As you know my husband is traveling all the time.”
We keep it down to a minimum,” the now-First Lady added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”
Melania revealed that Barron was into creating things as a young boy, and his mother supported that. The youngster even got to draw on the walls.
