Omnipresent during her father's last two electoral campaigns, Ivanka Trump has been discreet in recent months. Has the “darling daughter” moved away from Donald Trump? Explanations.
Ivanka Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana Zelníčková. Presented as the billionaire's “darling daughter”, the former model made herself known during the 2016 presidential campaign, which brought Donald Trump to the White House. She was the one who introduced it at the 2016 Republican convention.
Eight years later, the former advisor shone through her silence. Although present alongside her father to celebrate his victory, this Wednesday, November 6, Ivanka Trump did not speak and observers did not fail to highlight her “closed face”.

The “break” seems to date back to January 2021, at the time of the assault on the Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, not recognizing the defeat of their candidate. It was at this precise moment that the former senior advisor to the White House reportedly announced that she wanted to distance herself from politics and leave Washington for Florida with her husband Jared Kushner, also an advisor to Donald Trump, and her children.
A new chapter, far from Washington
“She made the decision when she left Washington that she was ending this chapter of her life. And she was remarkably consistent,” her husband praised her husband in an article in New York Times.
In Florida, Ivanka Trump is thriving in a new life as an Instagram influencer. Followed by nearly 8 million subscribers, the girl of the future 47e President of the United States shares his sports routines, his moments of family happiness and his local commitments. The former advisor notably mobilized for those affected by Hurricane Hélène.

Among all his publications, one is largely absent… his father's campaign, as noted Le Figaro. Instead, Ivanka Trump recommends to her Instagram subscribers to choose “words that heal, not that hurt”, a publication that is the polar opposite of the meetings with a deliberately outrageous tone organized by her father Donald Trump, as pointed out Vanity Fair.
Ivanka Trump nevertheless took the stage, alongside other members of the Trump clan, and future vice-president JD. Vance, to celebrate Donald Trump's victory, this Wednesday, November 6 at the Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, but she did not speak and showed a rather closed face. Proof for some of the gap that has opened up between the father and his family.
In addition to the assault on the Capitol, Paris-Match understands that another event contributed to this estrangement. “Everything would have changed following a controversial meal between Donald Trump, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, in 2022,” says the magazine. The controversial support of the rapper and the supremacist icon of Generation Z, entangled in accusations of anti-Semitism, would have confirmed the break between Ivanka and her father.
Indeed, Jared Kushner, her husband is of Jewish faith and Ivanka Trump, herself, converted to Judaism in 2009, reminds us New York Magazine.
