Ivanka Trump shares children with her husband Jared Kushner

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are the parents of three children: Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James.

Ivanka, the older daughter of former President Donald Trump, spoke openly about her life in front of a packed house and praised her late mother, Ivanka Trump, and stepmother, Melania Trump, as her parental role models.

Speaking about her late mother, who died in 2022 at the age of 73, Ivanka told PEOPLE, “She was the biggest role model. It was always clear to us that we were her priority, but that doesn’t mean we got her 24 hours a day.”

As for her stepmother, Ivanka said she was a “great inspiration.” She added: “She has done an amazing job providing refuge [Barron] from the chaos that comes with a presidential campaign. Melania is an amazing mother.”

When it comes to balancing work and life with three children, Ivanka found that she needs to “share everything” so she can “figure out ways to connect things,” she told PEOPLE in 2014. In the same interview, Ivanka admitted that leaving her children was difficult when he has other commitments.

While Ivanka and Jared moved their family to Washington DC during her father’s presidency, they have since settled in Surfside, Florida, a small town south of Miami.

“They’re really just getting used to a normal life and really enjoying it,” Jared’s friend told PEOPLE in 2022, adding, “Jared is spending a lot more time with his family because in the last four years, that’s something that neither of them two couldn’t work as much as they wanted.”
