According to sources cited by PEOPLE, Ivanka Trump’s top priority remains the safety and well-being of her children amid her father Donald Trump’s legal troubles. While Ivanka maintains a strong relationship with her father, she has chosen to distance herself from his legal issues and prioritize her family’s privacy and security. The source emphasizes that Ivanka has always been particularly close to her father, and their bond remains strong.
Since leaving the White House in 2021, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner have led a relatively low-key life, focusing on their own business dealings and enjoying travel, leisure, and charitable activities. In November 2022, Ivanka issued a statement stating that she would not be involved in her father’s 2024 presidential campaign, choosing instead to prioritize her young children and the private life they are creating.
While Ivanka has not commented on her father’s recent indictment, the source suggests that she and Jared are familiar with the legal controversies that often surround the family and handle them as best they can. Despite any upset or concern Ivanka may feel about her father’s situation, she has not abandoned him and continues to interact with him as a close family.
The source reveals that Ivanka is keeping her focus on positive aspects of her life, such as recent celebrations like her daughter’s bat mitzvah. The loss of her mother, Ivana Trump, who passed away in July 2022, also weighs on Ivanka’s mind as the one-year anniversary approaches. However, she finds strength in the support of her family and her husband’s family.
The source emphasizes that while Ivanka is hurt and troubled by her father’s legal woes, she remains connected to him and would never abandon their relationship. However, Ivanka and Jared are living their own lives and moving forward, focusing on their personal pursuits and the well-being of their children.
