Ivanka Trump was just seen on vacation with her Miami neighbor Gisele. Let us explain
New bestie alert in the 305?
Neighbors Ivanka Trump, Gisele Bundchen and Karlie Kloss were seen on vacation together in Costa Rica earlier this week, the Daily Mail first reported.
Paparazzi snapped blurry pics of the former first daughter and supermodels on the beach having a grand old time with their families.
Beside geography, the photogenic group has other things in common.
'Both Karlie and Gisele are with IMG Models and have the same manager,' an insider told the outlet of the onetime Victoria's Secret Angels. 'Gisele has long been a huge inspiration to Karlie, who idolizes her, having followed in her footsteps for years in expanding her brand beyond just the modeling industry.'
Trump, married to Jared Kushner, and Kloss, to his younger brother Joshua, are sisters-in-law.
The high profile yet under the radar couples live close to one another. Kloss and Kushner bought a mansion on North Bay Road around the same time Trump and her Kushner snapped up property in Indian Creek Village, aka Billionaire Bunker. Coincidentally, Bundchen's ex, Tom Brady, resides solo in the bunker now, after finalizing his divorce with the Brazilian catwalker, who bought a place in nearby Surfside.
The NFL legend was nowhere to be seen on this getaway; Bundchen was with her current flame, jiu jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, the father of her newborn son.
Miami really is a six degrees of separation kind of town, especially among the elite. Trump and her kids also train with Valente and his brothers Pedro and Gui, who have a studio in North Miami Beach.
Back in March, the Brazilian siblings shared an Instagram video of the onetime White House advisor, reportedly a blue belt, busting some serious self-defense moves on the mat.
'Jiu-jitsu is more than a martial art. Rooted in ancient tradition and refined over generations, it offers a path to physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance,' said the caption. 'What makes this journey even more meaningful is sharing it with those we respect and value. As families, training together gives us the rare gift of growing side by side, on the mat and in life.'
As for Kloss taking classes? That remains to be seen, as the 32-year-old is currently pregnant with her third child, she announced last month.
It's unclear where everyone stayed, but Bundchen maintains a sprawling home in the small town of Santa Teresa, on the Pacific Coast, about 3,500 miles from Miami. Fans may recall she and Brady held their second wedding ceremony there in April 2009, and the 44-year-old travels there often.
Sounds like everyone had a fantastic time, especially Trump. The 43-year-old New Yorker posted some stunning snaps from what appears to be not only a super relaxing but spiritual Spring Break/Passover trip.
'Time slowed. 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,' said her post. 'But more than the 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 the silence, in the laughter of my children, in the breath of the trees. My heart is full of gratitude for these moments of togetherness and renewal.'
So, is this the It clique in town?
'Karlie is keen to collaborate with Gisele and Ivanka on philanthropic endeavors,' another insider told the DM of the Chicagoan. 'She would love the idea of them forming a new 'power squad.''
