Barron Trump has been in the headlines lately, as his father ramps up his 2024 presidential election.

Nicki Swift recently broke down Barron Trump's age gap with his older siblings, who are significantly older, as former President Donald Trump was nearly 60 when Barron Trump was born.

Barron, now 17, was Donald and Melania Trump's first and only child together. The former first lady was 35 when Barron Trump was born.

He was the only child living in the White House during his father's presidency, as his siblings were all adults at that time.

"I produce children"

The former president announced Melania Trump in 2006 on Don Imus' radio show. Trump bragged about the fact that he was nearly 60 and still having children.

"I continue to stay young, right? I produce children, I stay young," Trump said at the time. He had been married to Melania for 7 months when she told him she was pregnant.

Donald Trump always thought there'd be more of an age gap between Barron and his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump. Tiffany Trump was born as a result of Donald Trump's second marriage to Marla Maples.

"I expected we were going to have children, so I wasn't totally surprised. But I was surprised by the speed of it. It happened very quickly," Trump said at the time.

Swift noted:

There's a 24-year age gap between Barron and his half-sister Ivanka Trump, which coincidentally matches the age difference between his parents. Eric Trump, meanwhile, has 22 years on his younger bro.

The outlet added:

Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric all graduated from college before Barron was born. While his main concerns were nappy changes and feeding times, his three oldest siblings were already working closely with their dad at the Trump Organization. The year of Barron's birth was a big one for the trio; in 2006, Ivanka and Don Jr. were invited to join their dad in the boardroom on "The Apprentice," while Eric was named the Trump Organization's executive vice president of development and acquisitions. So, there wasn't much common ground between them and their family's newest acquisition.
