Nearly three years after the sudden passing of her mother, Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump took to Instagram on Sunday to share a deeply emotional tribute, remembering the strength, humor, and enduring influence of the late socialite and businesswoman.
“Today, I’m holding close the beautiful memories of my mother, Ivana, her strength, humor, and love continue to guide me every day,” Ivanka wrote alongside a carousel of rare family photographs. The post, which quickly gained attention online, captured intimate moments between Ivanka and Ivana spanning from childhood through adulthood.
Several of the shared images included Ivana with her grandchildren, Arabella (13), Joseph (10), and Theodore (8), highlighting her cherished role as a grandmother. Ivanka also included recent photos of her own family, featuring husband Jared Kushner and their three children, underscoring the generational bond Ivana helped nurture.
“She had a quiet strength,” Ivanka continued. “It’s a gift to all of us, and I cherish the bond she shares with my kids.” She closed her tribute by extending gratitude to all maternal figures who, like her mother, “pour love into their families.”
Ivana Trump passed away on July 14, 2022, after an accidental fall down the stairs of her Manhattan home. She was 73. A coroner’s report confirmed she died from “blunt impact injuries” sustained in the fall.
The news of her death sent ripples through both the social and political spheres. Her ex-husband, President Donald Trump, expressed his grief at the time through a statement on Truth Social, calling her “a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.” He also noted that Ivana’s “pride and joy were her three children,” referring to Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric.
Donald and Ivana were married for 13 years, from 1977 to 1990, during which time they became one of New York’s most prominent power couples. Ivana, a Czech-born model and athlete, was widely admired for her resilience and business acumen, helping to shape the Trump Organization’s early image.
Ivanka’s tribute served not only as a personal remembrance but also as a celebration of maternal legacy, one she hopes to pass on to her own children.
