Fact Check: No, Barron Trump didn't marry Princess Leonor of Spain
Claim: In 2025, Barron Trump married Princess Leonor of Spain in a royal wedding held at a European palace. Rating: In late May and early June 2025, social media users spread a rumor claiming that Barron Trump, the youngest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, had married Princess Leonor of Spain. Several YouTube videos promoted the story, including one video titled, "Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Grand Royal Wedding at a Magnificent Palace," which had nearly 200,000 views. The video's description read: Step into a world of elegance and history as we unveil Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Grand Royal Wedding at a Magnificent Palace. Set in a timeless European palace, this royal ceremony captures the grace, tradition, and grandeur of old-world nobility. From the majestic processional to the heartfelt vows, every moment feels like a scene from a fairytale. Witness the union of American and Spanish heritage in a wedding unlike any other. Similar videos about the alleged wedding of Trump and Leonor appeared in early 2025, with titles such as "Barron Trump & Princess Leonor's Singing - Double Happiness | Royal Wedding at the Royal Palace," "Barron Trump and Princess Leonor's Royal Wedding at the Spanish Royal Palace," and "Barron Trump Marries Princess Leonor – A Royal Love Story Come True." Most of these videos featured sentimental music, portraying the pair singing romantic duets. Similar clips spread on other social media platforms, including TikTok and Facebook. However, none of these videos was based in reality. First, there were no credible news reports or official announcements from either the Spanish royal family or the Trump family confirming any such relationship or marriage between the two individuals. Leonor, born in 2005 and heir to the Spanish throne, has been the subject of significant media attention, and any real engagement or marriage would have made news headlines. Additionally, the videos spreading the claim were explicitly labeled AI-generated, and many of the clips used in these videos displayed clear signs of artificial creation, including distorted facial features, unnatural skin textures, and inconsistent lighting or backgrounds. Therefore, we have rated this claim as false. The videos seemed to originate from the Lovely Trump Family YouTube channel (archived), which featured multiple videos with the same narrative: (YouTube channel Lovely Trump Family) One YouTube video that featured a romantic song and allegedly showed scenes from Barron Trump's wedding reached more than 1.8 million views as of this writing. It was captioned: Experience the magical royal wedding as Barron Trump and Princess Leonor of Spain perform a series of heartfelt songs at their grand wedding celebration. With their soulful voices, they sing beautiful ballads like "Our Forever Begins," "A Love Meant to Be," and "Promise of Forever." Each song is a tribute to true love, faith, and the journey of two hearts coming together. Set against the stunning backdrop of a royal palace and a luxurious setting, their emotional performance captures the essence of a fairytale romance. The enchanting lyrics, heartfelt melodies, and the radiant smiles of Barron and Princess Leonor create an unforgettable moment, making this royal wedding a truly magical event. Witness the joy, love, and celebration of two souls united in a grand and elegant ceremony. Like the other videos, it included an "AI Disclaimer" stating, "This video was created using AI technology for entertainment purposes. The voices, visuals, and performances of Barron Trump and Princess Leonor are generated using advanced AI software and do not represent real-life events." Despite this disclaimer, many users in the comments appeared to take the content at face value, praising the supposed couple and reacting as if the wedding had genuinely taken place. Additionally, a Google search for "Barron Trump Princess Leonor wedding" returned no relevant results beyond AI-generated content. ( In addition to disclaimers labeling the videos as AI-generated, the content itself contained numerous visual cues that it was artificially created. These included distorted facial features, unnatural skin textures, and lighting inconsistencies that are common artifacts of AI. For example, in one scene, a car's license plate appeared with jumbled, nonsensical characters that did not resemble any real-world format. In another scene purportedly showing a crowd at the alleged wedding, many of the attendees' faces were blurred, asymmetrical and unnaturally rendered. (YouTube channel Lovely Trump Family) The rumor appears to have originated purely from speculative posts on social media. One of the earliest and most widely shared examples came from an X user in October 2024, who wrote, "Barron Trump and the Princess of Spain Leonor are a match made in heaven. Same age, no previous relationships, good values, good looking and with a powerful family," reaching more than 7 million views. The post was not based on any confirmed relationship, interaction or credible report involving the two individuals. Snopes has previously debunked several false claims involving the youngest Trump child, including a viral rumor that he was rejected by Harvard University and AI-generated videos that falsely portrayed him singing on America's Got Talent.

Their Wine Country restaurant is a hot destination. Their new spot is for the locals
The team behind one of Sonoma County's best restaurants will soon open a new, more approachable spot in Petaluma. Named Bijou — 'jewel,' in French — it is the latest from Table Culture Provisions owners Stéphane Saint Louis, Steven Vargas and Marta Saint Louis. At 190 Kentucky St. starting Friday, June 13, diners will find seasonal dishes applying French technique to the North Bay's wealth of seasonal produce, but at a lower price than the group's original restaurant. Table Culture Provisions is beloved by visitors and locals, who often refer to it simply as TCP. But with a tasting menu that runs in the triple digits and can only accommodate around a 10 tables, it's not easily accessible. 'That is a barrier for the community to come in every day, or once a week,' said Saint Louis, who will run the kitchen at the new restaurant while Vargas helms TCP. 'At Bijou, you'll have food at the quality and standard of what we offer at Table Culture Provisions, just more affordable and approachable.' (The restaurant did not provide prices for dishes.) Snacks and shared dishes will include tempura vegetable batons with a green goddess drizzle and sprinkled with malt vinegar powder, and a petit croque monsieur with shaved truffles on top. The Cowgirl x D. Fatti is a rosemary boule from local bakery Della Fattoria hollowed out and stuffed with Cowgirl Creamery's funky-rich Red Hawk cheese that's topped with roasted garlic and a drizzle of honey. The bread's interior is cut into stubby sticks, then fried, the better to dip into the soft cheese. Larger entrees will include a 10-ounce rib eye from San Rafael butchers Flannery Beef in a black peppercorn sauce, cut into thin slivers that give it a classic French bistro feel. A small side of bone marrow truffle fries and a small salad with shaved Parmesan come along with the cut. A Japanese sea bream will be served with a vegetable ragout and a pistachio caper sauce. Hand-made stuffed pastas will rotate frequently, starting with caramelle, pasta bundles with twisted ends akin to a wrapped caramel. These come stuffed with Liberty duck legs cured in a cumin-fennel blend then confited overnight. Staff baste the caramelle with a jus made from duck stock and duck bones that's spiked with a hit of Port. A zigzag of rich crème fraîche and pea tendrils accent the dish. 'I'm just a fan of stuffed pastas and I take pride in making these,' Saint Louis said. He's already looking forward to future pastas such as a tortellini filled with hearty beef cheeks during the colder months of the year, and agnolotti stuffed with locally caught Dungeness crab when the next season begins. Dessert at Bijou from Table Culture Provisions pastry chef Sylvain Parsy includes a mille feuille, the classic French dessert of layered puff pastry and vanilla cream, that's textured with burnt caramel and a ribbon of creme anglaise. A flight of petit fours, assorted bite-sized sweets, will come in triplets or quartets paired with coffee or tea. Once summer strawberries arrive at the restaurant they will go into a tart topped with rhubarb sorbet. Until then, there's a sundae that's topped with shaved almond, cacao nib and a pour of fresh, hot chocolate sauce. Otello Tiano, who led the bar program at San Francisco's Lazy Bear, consulted on Bijou's drinks. The cocktail list will include six original cocktails and six classics with a French inclination, using ingredients like Chartreuse and pastis, a liqueur flavored with anise. Wines will be diverse, with various styles and origins, but with a focus on California. Bijou took over the former home of southern restaurant Easy Rider, known for its fried chicken and mac-and-cheese, which closed in December. The space can accommodate 55 seated diners, making a dinner reservation or a walk-in a lot more feasible than at TCP. Plans are to open every day, except Wednesdays, for dinner service, with regular Sunday brunch. A daytime window, Café Bijou, will offer pastries, sandwiches, salads and a soup du jour, plus coffee using beans from local roaster Petaluma Coffee & Tea Co. Saint Louis described the interior as feeling like 'modern comfort,' with its whitewashed walls, concrete bar and minimalist tables. Exposed brick supports and warm light from metal frame chandeliers help the building a cozier, he said. 'It's my jewel box for the community.'
