However, the relationship reportedly didn’t last. According to MailOnline, Maddie disclosed in the comments that the primary reason for their breakup was the distance between them, especially when Barron transferred to St. Andrews School in Potomac, Virginia, while she remained in New York. She added that Barron was ‘the nicest’ and ‘the best’ person, showing no ill will despite their separation.
Barron Trump’s education in elite schools
Barron Trump has had an elite schooling experience, with his education taking him to some of the most prestigious institutions in the United States. In 2017, Barron was attending Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School, a private school on New York’s Upper West Side, reports People.
