Barron Trump Reportedly Snubs Kai Trump Amid Rivalry Rumors

Barron Trump is notoriously private, rarely making public appearances. However, he recently stepped out for the first time in months by attending the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House on Sunday, June 14.

While many were focused on Barron’s alleged “downcast” and “burned out” appearance at the event, others have noted a moment that fueled speculation about his relationship with his niece, Kai Trump. Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., posted a vlog from the event to her YouTube channel on Wednesday, June 24. Toward the end of the video, Barron briefly appears as Kai introduces her Aunt Tiffany Trump to viewers.

According to RadarOnline, Barron appeared “uninterested” in being part of Kai’s YouTube video, claiming that he looked like he wanted “nothing to do” with her.

This moment comes amid a rumored rivalry between Barron and Kai, who both recently entered the energy drink market. Kai recently teamed up with Accelerator Active Energy, debuting a Blue Raz Slush flavor inspired by a “childhood love of blue raspberry movie theater slushies.”

Meanwhile, Barron is a co-founder of Sollos, a new beverage company selling a yerba mate-based energy drink that “actually complements life in the Sunshine State.” It’s currently selling a 12-pack of their Pineapple + Coconut flavor for $39.

Speculation about Barron’s strained family relationships has also resurfaced. Celebrity gossip columnist Rob Shuter previously reported that Barron and his older siblings are not close, and they weren’t invited to his 20th birthday party.

“They’re not close — at all,” one source told Naughty But Nice. “This wasn’t an oversight. They were left off the list.”

Insiders indicated that Melania Trump has played a role in keeping Barron away from his older half-siblings. “She’s always kept Barron separate,” the source said. “This just made it obvious.”

“Barron didn’t grow up with them in the same way,” they added. “There isn’t a real bond there.”
