Kim Kardashian celebrated her 43rd birthday at Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills, sharing a series of Instagram pictures capturing the festivities and some prominent attendees. Among the guests was a surprising figure – former first daughter Ivanka Trump. The inclusion of Ivanka in the celebrations raised questions among followers, with one of the most popular comments expressing confusion over her presence.
Despite their differing backgrounds, there seems to be a certain sense in the camaraderie between Kardashian and Trump. Both grew up as privileged daughters of influential figures, navigating their paths to individual notoriety. However, while Kardashian maintained a more non-partisan public stance, openly supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, she also had an impactful White House meeting with President Trump advocating for prison reform and the release of Alice Johnson. Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner played a pivotal role in facilitating this meeting, as mentioned in Kushner’s memoir, “Breaking History.”
The paths of Kim and Ivanka had intersected before, notably at high-profile events such as the Met Gala, with Kardashian reportedly considering the purchase of the Kushner’s former Manhattan apartment. Despite these encounters, their relationship didn’t seem to be as close until now.
For Ivanka, the appearance at Kardashian’s birthday bash marked a notable return to the limelight. While once a sought-after guest at New York City’s fashion and society events, she had effectively been absent from the city’s social scene for several years. Post-White House, Ivanka has maintained a relatively low profile, retreating to a luxurious location north of Miami, occasionally making appearances at events like Art Basel Miami Beach and being spotted on a yacht with David Guetta.
While her father remains an active figure in political circles, currently leading in the Republican primary polls, most of his family, including Ivanka, have distanced themselves from his 2024 campaign. In a statement released in 2022, Ivanka emphasized her decision to step away from politics, prioritizing her young children and the private family life they are building.
