Staunch Democrat Karlie Kloss makes rare remarks about marriage to Ivanka Trump's brother-in-law
Karlie Kloss made rare remarks about being married to Ivanka Trump 's brother-in-law Joshua Kushner and being an 'extremely hands-on' mom.
The 32-year-old supermodel, who is currently expecting her third child with the billionaire businessman, revealed her parenting style with their children.
Kloss has never been shy about making her liberal political beliefs known, or that she voted for Democrats in 2016 and 2020.
She wed Joshua, a venture capitalist, in 2018. His brother, Jared, married Donald Trump 's daughter Ivanka in 2009.
Kloss criticized Trump supporters following the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, in 2021 and insinuated that she has tried to have political conversations with Jared and Ivanka.
'Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic,' she posted on X. 'Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American.'
The post immediately drew a rebuke from one of her followers on social media who wrote: 'Tell your sister-in-law and brother-in-law,' to which Karlie responded: 'I've tried.' This was later deleted.
However, during a frank discussion with Emma Grede on the entrepreneur's podcast Aspire, she said she now 'genuinely doesn't give a f**k about what anyone thinks about her' anymore, either.
'I'm trying to do the best I can as I go, but I am very intentional about the environment around them — that I create around them,' she said during her chat with Emma Grede on the entrepreneur's podcast
'Like, I am their mom. I am extremely hands-on,' Kloss told the business mogul.
This comes after she announced that she is pregnant with her third baby with her husband, 39, as she shared the happy news on Instagram back in March.
In a carousel of snapshots, she posed with her sons Levi Joseph, four, and 19-month-old Elijah Jude as she showed off her baby bump.
Reflecting on motherhood, Kloss told Grede — frequently collaborates with the Kardashians and is the co-founder of Khloe Kardashian's Good American and a founding partner of Kim Kardashian's SKIMS — about how she wants to raise her kids to be very independent.
The St. Louis native added that she 'doesn't like to have a lot of people' taking care of them and insisted she is a very present parent.
'I want my kids to be able, like, be able to tie their own shoes and put on their own clothes,' she said.
She also made rare remarks about her marriage to Kushner during the podcast episode, which was released on Tuesday, May 20.
She talked about how her husband is her biggest supporter as she nearly broke down in tears while talking about choosing someone who believed in her.
'He's been my biggest champion,' she said. 'Especially in this adjustment into motherhood.'
'He has been somebody who's like, "Karlie you cannot lose yourself. You will not be happy, and then our children will feel that."
'That's something I so appreciate — that he has always been sort of my mirror in that way,' she continued.
On her 'dear friend's' podcast, Kloss also opened up about how she pivoted from modeling to tech and media among her many other ventures in addition to being a full-time parent.
She also talked about how she helped support her family at the young age of 15 through her modeling career when the recession left them 'trying to keep the roof over our heads.'
'I didn't care about fashion,' she said on the podcast about pivoting her career to tech and finance. 'It was a vehicle, a means to support my family, take care of my loved ones and create safety and stability.'
Kloss is a mother-of-two with a third baby on the way.
Just several weeks earlier, she announced her pregnancy news as she told Vogue: 'Family is everything to me. Josh and I are incredibly grateful for this blessing.'
She also shared photos of her bump and her sons to Instagram with the caption: 'Three's a party.'
Kloss and Kushner welcomed sons Levi and Elijah in 2021 and 2023.
Kushner is the founder of Thrive Capital, a venture-capital firm that has backed technology companies including Instagram, GitHub, and Spotify.
Apart from being a model, Kloss is also the founder of Kode With Klossy, a coding camp for girls.

BREAKING NEWS King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss' suspected killer is out of jail on $200K bail following fatal shooting
Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, the man suspected of fatally shooting King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation actor Jonathan Joss, is out of jail on a $200,000 bail. Just days after he was arrested for murder, law enforcement officers in San Antonio confirmed to TMZ that Alvarez, who was Joss' neighbor, has 'been placed under house arrest.' He is required to wear an ankle monitor and will 'undergo random drug and alcohol testing.' During his detention, Alvarez is also forbidden from possessing firearms. Joss, 59, died in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday after a reported altercation with Alvarez outside his home. Alvarez was captured by law enforcement and booked on suspicion of murder. The report from the San Antonio Police Department obtained by states Alvarez uttered 'I shot him' as he was detained by arresting officers. New details about the run-up to the violent crime have also emerged via the report, with an unnamed witness stating they drove Joss from Austin to his burned down San Antonio home around 7pm on June 1 to check his mail. The witness said she pulled up and parked in the driveway while she waited for Joss and another witness to check the mail. Joss' husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has claimed he was with the actor on this trip and during the murder. Per the report, she said she saw suspect Alvarez pull up in his vehicle with a passenger and stop 'directly behind her car.' She allegedly saw Joss and Alvarez argue in her rearview mirror, and claimed Alvarez told Joss 'he had a gun and would shoot [Joss].' She claims Alvarez then shot Joss. Per the report, Joss was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.20pm and Alvarez was detained by police and 'immediately told them "I shot him." His weapons were seized. The report states that '[Alvarez] intentionally and knowingly discharged a weapon at [Joss] resulting in his death Joss' husband has since claimed the star's death was a homophobia-fueled murder - although police have dismissed this theory. A statement from a San Antonio PD spokesman read: 'Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation.' Last Saturday, Joss — who boasts 9K social media followers — shared a video of himself in good spirits, urging fans to visit him at Tribe Comics and Games in Austin, TX for a signing. The Our Lady of the Lake University grad's last IMDb-credited gig was voicing characters for CD Projekt RED's video game Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in 2023 alongside Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. Jonathan also voiced the character Healing in Paul McComas and Holly Trasti's animated drama Unplugged alongside the late Louis Gossett Jr., the late Ed Asner, Christina Ricci and Jeri Ryan. But Joss is best known for voicing musician and healer John Redcorn, who embarked on a 14-year-long affair with anchorwoman Nancy Hicks-Gribble (Ashley Gardner), on the Fox animated sitcom from seasons 2–13. On January 23, Jonathan suffered the loss of his three beloved dogs when his childhood home, that his father built in 1957, burned to the ground. Joss also lost his car in the blaze, but the GoFundMe organized by Logan Kostroun successfully raised $21,300 from a $15K goal. But neighbors told TMZ on Monday that his house burned down because he attempted to use a BBQ pit to heat it after the city allegedly 'shut off his power when the property was deemed unsafe and uninhabitable.' On Monday, the star's widow Tristan Kern de Gonzales — whom he wed on Valentine's Day — claimed he was murdered after they were 'harassed' for two years by 'openly homophobic' individuals who 'did not accept our relationship.' 'When we returned to the site to check our mail, we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress,' the South Carolina native recalled on Facebook. 'While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons.' 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together,' Tristan wrote in a Facebook He continued, 'We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.' Tristan added, 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together.' Jonathan is also remembered for his role as Chief Ken Hotate in five episodes of NBC's mockumentary sitcom Parks and Recreation spanning 2011–2015. Joss had small roles in TV shows like Walker Texas Ranger, Charmed, ER, Ray Donovan and Tulsa King. He also acted in films like True Grit, The Magnificent Seven, Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World and Johnson Family Vacation.
