Ivanka Trump has been photographed with supermodel sister-in-law Karlie Kloss and fellow supermodel Gisele Bündchen enjoying an Easter vacation in Costa Rica.
Pictures of the trio on a beach in the Central American country, taken over the weekend, showed them dressed in swimsuits and surrounded by their families.
An insider told The Daily Mail that Kloss 'is keen to collaborate with Gisele and Ivanka on philanthropic endeavours'.
'She would love the idea of them forming a new 'power squad'.'
The First Daughter and mother-of-three gushed about the holiday in a post on Instagram during the week, writing that 'time slowed' during her time away.
'We surfed under golden skies, zipped through the jungle canopy, leapt into cool waterfalls, read until the sun dipped low, and surrendered to stillness and deep sleep,' Trump wrote.
'But more than adventure, this week was about reconnecting – with the Earth, with faith, and with one another. Logging off and tuning in. Grounding in nature's rhythm. Feeling the sacred in silence, in the laughter of my children, in the breach of the trees.
'My heart is full of gratitude for these moments of togetherness and renewal.'
Trump has largely avoided the political spotlight since the end of her father Donald Trump's first administration, during which she served as a senior adviser and one of his greatest confidantes.
'I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable,' she told the Skinny Confidential podcast in January.
'The main reason I'm not going back to serve now is because I know the cost … I also recognise now there are so many ways to have impact. Most of the compassion work happening in the world is being done outside of government.'
Part of that post-White House life has included spending time with the likes of Bündchen, who recently welcomed her third child and first with boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Bündchen – once the highest-paid models in the world – also shares a son and daughter with her ex-husband Tom Brady.
Kloss is married to Trump's husband Jared Kushner's younger brother, Joshua. The supermodel announced in March that the couple, who share sons Levi and Elijah, were expecting their third child.
'Family is everything to me,' she told Vogue. 'Josh and I are incredibly grateful for this blessing.'
There's long been speculation of a feud between the 32-year-old and her sister-in-law, given Kloss's vocal opposition to Mr Trump, having voted against him in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
Neither Trump nor Kushner were present at Kloss and Joshua's wedding in 2018, with a White House spokesperson refusing to comment at the time why they'd skipped the nuptials.
Representatives for both women have repeatedly insisted they have a 'good relationship'.
Speaking to fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg on her InCharge with DVF program in 2020, Kloss said: 'I really followed my heart on choosing to be with the person that I love, despite any complications that came with it.'
'You know, I knew for me, it was worth it to fight for that,' she continued.
'I think that in my career too, you know, being true to my heart or being true to myself, when I know that something is not aligned with who I am, and the message I want to send to the world, or the kind of person that I want to be, maybe that comes back to character.
'But like, my heart often is telling me exactly what I need to hear. And I didn't always listen to it.'
