Melania and Barron Trump were recently spotted out together. The pair, who’ve cultivated a close mother and son relationship over the years, rarely appear in photos together, with both guarding their presences from the public.

Over the past week, as Donald Trump celebrated his 77th birthday, Melania and Barron were photographed leaving Trump Tower, in New York City.

According to People Magazine, Melania and Barron’s relationship has grown stronger over the course of the past year, with the two relying on each other over tumultous times. “She is a doting mother to Barron and very protective of him,” said a source.

"Barron has always been a first priority in [Melania's] life," added the source. "Of course she is worried and concerned about the legal issues but she has not done anything more to protect Barron now than she ever did. She has always put him first. She is a good mother."

Melania and Barron have been photographed together over the years, with the cameras witnessing how much he’s grown.

Barron is the first boy to have lived in the White House since JFK Jr., with previous presidents being fathers to girls. He attended St. Andrew’s school in Maryland, with Melania praising the school’s “diverse community and commitment to academic excellence.”

He is fluent in English and Slovene, his mother’s native language.
