Ivanka Trump pens emotional Mother's Day tribute to late mom Ivana
Ivanka Trump has penned an emotional Mother's Day tribute to late mom Ivana Trump.
The 43-year-old took to Instagram earlier today with a heartfelt post about her mother who was married to President Donald Trump from 1977 to 1990.
She shared a carousel of touching snapshots of Ivana - who tragically passed away after sustaining injuries from falling down the stairs in July 2022.
The pictures included several touching moments enjoyed by the mother-daughter duo over the years - from sun-soaked holiday snaps to affectionate cuddles and birthday celebrations.
Ivanka then finished the post with images of her own journey into motherhood after welcoming Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 11, and Theodore James, eight, with Jared Kushner.
The mom-of-three candidly wrote: 'Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers out there!
'Today, I'm holding close the beautiful memories of my mother, Ivana — her strength, humor, and love continue to guide me every day.
'I feel her presence in so many moments, especially as I raise my own children.
'I'm also deeply grateful for my grandmother babi who fills our home with wisdom, grace, and unconditional love.
'Her quiet strength is a gift to all of us, and I cherish the bond she shares with my kids.'
She concluded: 'To every mother, grandmother, and mother figure — thank you for the love you pour into your families and the light you bring into the world.'
Elsewhere, Ivanka shared a glimpse into her own Mother's Day celebrations today via her Instagram stories.
She showcased several bouquets of white flowers as well as a sweet treat consisting of strawberries and cream.
Ivanka recently spoke about the fond memories she had of her mom during a January appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, sharing some of the best things that she learned from her parents.
She reminisced about the time spent with her late mom at New York's Plaza Hotel, where she served as the CEO.
'I used to go to her everyday after school, she was the CEO of the Plaza Hotel, the iconic hotel in New York, and I'd go with her on walks, and it was literally like a more well-behaved Eloise at the Plaza,' Ivanka revealed.
'I'd run behind her and watch her do her thing. My father was the same.'
During the interview, Ivanka also recalled that her mother, in particular, had an amazing and sharp attention to detail.
She then discussed one visit to see her mom at The Trump Castle, which was a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that she ran.
The heiress said that there were tons of chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in the lobby, and as the two were going down the escalator, Ivana could tell that one lightbulb had gone out without even taking as much as a look at the light fixtures.
'That level of crazy detail was my mother,' Ivanka said.
