Barron Trump was noticeably missing from a wholesome Trump family photo during this year’s World Cup final, further fueling rumors that he’s been kept at a far distance from his siblings.

The youngest of Donald Trump’s children sat alongside his influential family at this year’s World Cup final, which took place in New Jersey last weekend. Though many were impressed to see that the entire family showed up, others were surprised when his older stepbrother, Eric Trump, posted a sibling’s photo on Instagram that did not include him. The photo only led some people to further believe that he has little to no relationships with his older siblings, which reports have suggested is his mom, First Lady Melania Trump’s, fault. Read more about the viral photo and speculation below.

Eric Trump Posts Sibling Group Photo Without Barron Trump During The World Cup Final

Last weekend, stars and notable figures of all different backgrounds and callibers showed up for this year's FIFA World Cup final match between Argentina and Spain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

 

Some of the most prominent attendees at the big game included President Donald Trump and almost his entire immediate family, including First Lady Melania, Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, their spouses, and his youngest, 20-year-old Barron. The family was photographed and filmed sitting tuned into the game, but they also posed for an array of photos that made it to their social media profiles.

 

One of those photos was a group shot, which appeared to be a 'siblings and spouses' picture, that included the president's eldest children and their partners. However, the picture ended up garnering a lot of attention after it was posted to Eric's Instagram story and Tiffany's account, as Barron was noticeably missing in it. Once it was shared with the world and circulated on other social media platforms, many users called out his absence and wondered why he was left out.

Barron Has Reportedly Been Kept Away From His Siblings Due To Melania Trump's 'Bizarre' Parenting

This isn't the first time fans of the famous family or other pop culture enthusiasts have observed the NYU student being isolated from his older stepsiblings, mostly being pictured with them at extremely important events, like his father's inauguration.

 

However, his being missing from the sibling group photo only increased speculation as to why he's kept at a distance, especially since it was a rare occasion where they were all together in one place outside of the White House. Those who've been following the youngest Trump son's story for a while now may have seen some of today's latest reports that the distance can be blamed on his mother, the star of the Melania documentary.

 

One of the most recent examples of what some call Melania's "bizarre" parenting was a report that claimed she purposefully did not invite his four stepsiblings to his 20th birthday party, which was described by a source as a small, controlled, private celebration that she had full control of.

 

"They're not close – at all," an insider told celebrity reporter Rob Shuter, referring to Barron and his siblings. "This wasn't an oversight. They were left off the list. Barron didn't grow up with them in the same way. There isn't a real bond there."
