Barron Trump repeatedly rang and FaceTimed a London woman throughout the day and night, her jealous ex-boyfriend has claimed in court.
Matvei Rumiantsev, 22, is on trial in the UK for allegedly raping and beating the woman, who is friends with the president’s youngest son.
She previously told Snaresbrook Crown Court that Barron saved her life by contacting the emergency services after he allegedly witnessed her being attacked over FaceTime.
Rumiantsev denies raping or strangling the woman.
But he admitted it was ‘hard not to be jealous’ and the ongoing communication between them in late 2024 and early 2025 became a source of tension in their relationship.

Jealousy rules the mundane world. It’s one of our most powerful instincts, right up there with greed, anger, pride and ignorance. The Buddhist way to deal with it in ‘romance’ is do not cling, see the emptiness and let it go. Jealousy or envy for another’s status, wealth or good looks is best handled by a similar technique. Jealousy over someone’s talent is best replaced with admiration and wise sympathetic joy at their good fortune. We are all fortunate to be alive in the human realm. Best not to spoil it by generating bad karma, by entangling ourselves in deep error and ignorance. ABN
