Ivanka Trump recently spent the Easter and Passover holidays in Costa Rica, joining her husband Jared Kushner, his brother Joshua Kushner and model Karlie Kloss for a family getaway. The former White House adviser shared photos from the trip on social media, calling the rejuvenating break “a gift beyond words.”
The vacation comes as Ivanka, 43, signals a shift in her public role. In a recent interview on “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast, she spoke candidly about the “very dark” nature of politics and the isolation of life in the White House, describing the presidency as “the world’s loneliest position” and reflecting on the transactional nature of most interactions her father faced on a daily basis.
“You know your closest friends — everyone’s passionate about something, and they all want to spend the short time they have with you, selling you on what they think is good and positive and productive for this country and the world,” she said. “It is a very lonely perch.”
Ivanka, who advised her father during his first term, made clear that while she remains supportive, she has no plans to reenter official politics. Instead, she emphasized her intent to be present for her father in a personal way, as Fox News reports:
“I think I’m most looking forward to just being able to show up for him as a daughter and be there for him, to take his mind off things, to watch a movie with him or watch a sports game, to know that he can be with me and be himself and just relax and for me to be able to provide that for him and in a very loving way as his daughter,” she said.
Trump shares Ivanka, along with sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, with his late ex-wife Ivana Trump. The current president of the United States also shares daughter Tiffany Trump with his second ex-wife Marla Maples and son Barron Trump with his current wife, first lady Melania Trump.
Sources close to the first daughter say the clarity gained from the tropical retreat could influence her future personal projects, although no formal plans have been announced yet.
