Ivanka Trump made a rare appearance alongside her father, Donald Trump, on election night at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club. Although she has distanced herself from the campaign, Ivanka, 43, joined Trump, 78, along with her husband, Jared Kushner, also 43. Guests at the gathering included Caitlyn Jenner, Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos, as well as Trump’s sons Barron, Eric, and Don Jr.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was also seen at the Mar-a-Lago event, which reportedly included a dinner for select donors and an intimate gathering with Trump. Sources described heightened security measures, with bomb-sniffing dogs inspecting buses bringing attendees from a nearby Hilton hotel.
Ivanka and Kushner, both former White House advisors, have largely stayed out of Trump’s campaign, a decision Kushner recently explained as Ivanka’s commitment to a more private life with their children. While her brothers Don Jr. and Eric have been active in the campaign, Kushner reiterated that Ivanka decided to “close that chapter” after leaving Washington, saying, “We’re proud of him… but our life will just continue to move forward.”
The couple now lives in Miami, focused on family life, with Ivanka previously stating on Instagram, “This time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating.” After the Mar-a-Lago gathering, guests will attend Trump’s official election night event at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Fla.
