A previously unseen black-and-white photo of a young, makeup-free Melania Trump has emerged, potentially settling the debate about who her son Barron resembles more—his mother or his father, former President Donald Trump.
The images were shared by photographer Stane Jerko, who captured Melania when she was just 16 years old. In the photos, she appears fresh-faced, dressed simply in jeans and a white top or bandeau, showcasing softer features and a rounder face compared to her polished public persona.
In contrast to her usual appearance at official events, Melania is without heavy makeup in these images, highlighting a more youthful look. This revelation contrasts sharply with the provocative images she may include in her upcoming memoir, “Melania,” set to release on October 8. Notably, the resemblance between Melania and Barron, who recently started his studies at NYU, is striking.
Barron, with his dark hair and prominent brows, stands in stark contrast to his father’s light, distinctive hairstyle. Towering over Donald Trump, Barron’s height has even been noted as a factor that might lead him into sports, showcasing a slim figure that differs from his father’s build.
In a past interview, Donald Trump noted that Barron takes after Melania both in looks and temperament, saying, “He looks more like Melania. He’s like her in temperament. Very calm.”
Melania also shared insights about family dynamics during a recent appearance on “Fox and Friends,” explaining her decision to have only one child. While Donald wished for more children, she felt content with Barron, citing her role in managing family matters due to Trump’s busy schedule.
