During her father Donald Trump’s presidency, Ivanka Trump transitioned from the world of business to serve as a White House advisor. While the political spotlight often shone brightly on the Trump family, little is known about the personal dynamics within their home, especially concerning Ivanka’s plans with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their future involvement in politics.

Ivanka and her father have always shared a close-knit relationship. However, when she was younger, a surprising detail she kept from him was about her dating life, alongside her well-known attempt at humor, once described as “cringeworthy” by the Washington Post.

Ivanka Trump, no stranger to public attention, has lived her life amidst the fame of her father, a notable businessman and TV personality, who later became the 45th President of the United States.

Growing up, high aspirations were a family tradition, with Ivanka and her siblings attending prestigious institutions before stepping into careers at the influential Trump Organization.

From modeling for renowned fashion brands to launching her own businesses, Ivanka has accomplished much. Now, the question arises—what path will she forge after her tenure in the White House? Alongside managing her career, she’s also focused on family life with Jared Kushner and their three children. It seems her story is far from over.

Wondering how Ivanka navigated to a White House advisory role while handling family and her father’s 2016 presidential campaign? Here’s a glimpse into her journey and her life beyond politics.

Ivanka Trump’s story began in Manhattan, New York City, on October 30, 1981. Raised by well-known parents—Czech-American model Ivana Trump and businessman Donald Trump—her early life changed when her parents divorced at Ivanka’s age of ten. The separation came after a turbulent court battle, where Ivana obtained $25 million in settlement and custody rights over Ivanka, who was then sent to boarding school.

After attending the Chapin School, she moved to Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut at 15, marking a period of adjustment.

Ivanka was perceived as a typical teenager at Choate Rosemary Hall, albeit with privileges like a car and mobile phone, rare for her peers. She recalls her teenage years as a mix of challenges, desiring independence, and her mother’s expectations pushing her to earn her own money—a pivotal moment when she chose to start working.

In modeling, Ivanka debuted for Versace and graced Seventeen magazine’s cover in 1997. Despite success, she viewed it as a temporary detour rather than a career, reflective of her broader aspirations in business and real estate.

A vision from a friend’s window of a cityscape without a beloved tower ignited Ivanka’s ambition to leave a mark on New York City—her true home.

Continuing her education, Ivanka spent two years at Georgetown University before finishing her degree at the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in economics in 2004. Post-graduation, she joined a billionaire developer’s team but left to work at Trump Enterprises, propelling her into the public eye through “The Apprentice” despite initial reservations.

Ivanka believed that “Trump” needed to represent a family legacy, rather than just her father’s success, and “The Apprentice” served as its platform—more than just a personal decision.

Although her father knew almost everything about her, Ivanka refrained from introducing any dates to him. As she candidly shared with Express, “I was too smart to bring home a date or a boyfriend,” until she met Jared Kushner, whom she felt confident about bringing to her parents.

Married to Jared, Ivanka’s family grew with the birth of their daughter Arabella in 2011, their son Joseph in 2013, and another son, Theodore, in 2016. Balancing motherhood, a political role, and personal aspirations proved a significant challenge.

Following Donald Trump’s presidential win, Ivanka assumed an advisory role alongside her brothers and husband, focusing on women’s empowerment, job creation, and economic growth—aims that defined her role during her father’s presidency.

In 2019, she represented her father at the Gridiron Club’s dinner, a political roast event where she humorously tackled contemporary political issues and the privileges of her upbringing, often receiving mixed responses.

The transition post-White House saw Ivanka embroiled in a legal case involving alleged misuse of position for business promotion but facing weak legal standing, according to experts.

As Donald Trump exited the presidency after losing the election to Joe Biden, cameras caught a visibly emotional Ivanka at his farewell speech. Her future steps remain the subject of speculation, with potential political aspirations or a period of reflection and family time on the horizon.
