Her brothers Donald Jr and Eric also appeared in nostalgic snapshots, offering a rare look back at the tight-knit Trump family in earlier years.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Spanning four generations in one house\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"592\" height=\"419\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/809297f0b5f79d17c83bce48663b6a84.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Spanning four generations in one house (Instagram)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Interwoven with these memories were more recent images capturing Ivanka\u2019s life today, a devoted mother raising her three children with husband Jared Kushner, far from the political spotlight she once occupied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The tribute comes just weeks after Ivanka opened up about her grief in a candid podcast interview, revealing how the loss of her mother, coupled with her husband\u2019s health battle, prompted her to seek professional support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I would talk about her and start to cry, just like I\u2019m still doing \u2014 but in a different way,&#8221; she admitted, reflecting on the emotional toll of Ivana\u2019s sudden death. &#8220;I was avoiding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Ivanka shares intimate photos, here including her grandmpther, Babi, and her mother, Ivana\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"562\" height=\"413\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1968d4d1e89293cdebd76ef475db4bbb.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ivanka shares intimate photos, here including her grandmpther, Babi, and her mother, Ivana (Instagram)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The period marked one of the most challenging chapters of her life. Within weeks of Ivana\u2019s passing, Jared underwent a second surgery following his thyroid cancer diagnosis, a convergence of events that Ivanka described as overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I wanted to make sure I\u2019m really good at being tough,&#8221; she said, candidly acknowledging the pressure she placed on herself to stay strong for her family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, she finds comfort in the presence of her grandmother, Babi, who at 99 lives with Ivanka and her family in Miami. &#8220;It\u2019s a blessing to have her in our home,&#8221; she shared, explaining how she keeps Ivana\u2019s memory alive for her children through stories and shared moments.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Ivanka says, 'To my beautiful children, thank you for making me a mother and expanding my heart exponentially&quot;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"564\" height=\"701\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f75f51ebd45551a432208f06e0937d48.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ivanka says, &#8216;To my beautiful children, thank you for making me a mother and expanding my heart exponentially&#8221; (Instagram)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Losing a parent \u2014 it hits different,&#8221; Ivanka reflected. &#8220;Especially unexpectedly\u2026 it robbed us of so many years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Since stepping back from politics in 2022, Ivanka has largely retreated from public life, choosing instead to focus on her family and a quieter existence.
