Fox News Discusses Sydney Sweeney Marrying Barron Trump

Fox News host Jesse Watters made a bold statement about Sydney Sweeney and Barron Trump.

During Monday’s episode of The Five, Watters playfully said the Euphoria star, 27, and President Donald Trump‘s son, 19, will “marry.”

Newsweek reached out to Sweeney and Barron Trump’s representatives for comment on Tuesday via email outside regular working hours.

Why It Matters

Watters’ statement comes as Newsweek and other outlets confirmed over the weekend that Sweeney is registered as a Republican in Monroe County, Florida.

The White Lotus actress also made headlines recently for her American Eagle jeans ad. The commercial, which is titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” sparked a conversation about eugenics and racism online, with some branding it “Nazi propaganda.”

What To Know

On The Five, a talk show on Fox News, Watters suggested Sweeney could potentially marry Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump and the only child of first lady Melania Trump.

“Every girl wants to look like her, and every guy wants to look at her,” he said of Sweeney. “And the Democrats think, ‘Wait a second, why don’t we call her a Nazi and boycott the company?’”

“You know how this ends? She’s gonna marry Barron [Trump], and it’s going to create the greatest political dynasty in American history,” Watters added in a tongue-in-cheek manner, seemingly referring to Sweeney’s recent association to right-leaning politics by conservatives.

In the American Eagle ad, Sweeney, clad in a blue double-denim look, said, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color…my jeans are blue.”

Discourse about the campaign played out across TikTok, Instagram, Threads and X, with critics arguing that the play on “genes” echoes eugenics ideology, which promoted white genetic superiority and enabled the forced sterilization of marginalized groups.

The backlash though, was dismissed by many, with some users viewing the play on words as creative marketing, and others celebrating the ad for what they described as a pushback against “woke.”

Barron Trump has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite his parents’ public lives. He’s currently a New York University student and does not have a known social media presence, according to The Palm Beach Post newspaper.

What People Are Saying

American Eagle responded to the widespread criticism in an Instagram post on Saturday: “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”

Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday: “She’s a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad!”

The president doubled down on his statement in a message posted to Truth Social on Monday: “Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the ‘HOTTEST’ ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are ‘flying off the shelves.’ Go get ’em Sydney! On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad. Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST. Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can’t stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned—Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said on X: “Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They’re tired of this bulls***.”

Robin Landa, an advertising expert and professor at Michael Graves College at Kean University, previously told Newsweek: “The campaign’s pun isn’t just tone-deaf—it’s historically loaded.”

Megyn Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show, said on the show: “We’re sick and f****** tired of the nonsense, where you are not allowed to ever celebrate someone who is white and blonde and blue-eyed. That we have to walk into a room apologetic for those things, or have for the past five years. In a way, this ad is the final declaration that we’re done doing that s***. It doesn’t mean we’re better, but you know what? We’re no worse than any other race or any other hair color or eye color.”
