Ivanka Trump tears up about losing her mother, husband’s battle with cancer
Ivanka Trump broke into tears when discussing the women who shaped her life in a rare show of emotion for the first daughter.
Trump, 44, asked for a tissue as she discussed her mother and maternal grandmother in an interview with the “Diary of a CEO” podcast. She also grew tearful at other points in the 90-minute interview, when she discussed her husband Jared Kushner’s battle with thyroid cancer and how she watched her father get shot in Butler, Pa., in “real time” with two of her children.
But her most emotional moment was when she expressed her regret that her three children — Arabella, Joseph and Theo — won’t get to know their grandmother Ivana Trump.
And she said she was grateful that her own grandmother — Ivana’s mother, Marie Zelníčková — lives with them in Florida. Nicknamed “Babi” by the family, Trump said she raised her and her brothers Don Jr. and Eric when they were children.
Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner moved to Florida after President Trump’s first term in office. They are raising their children in Miami, with Babi living with them.
“’It’s a blessing to have her in our home and living with us,” Trump said, adding that she appreciates the stories Babi tells her children. “Her telling her stories and stories of my mother, who they sadly didn’t get to know.”
Ivana Trump died in 2022 at the age of 73 from a fall at her New York home. She was found at the bottom of the staircase in her townhouse on the Upper East Side.
During the pandemic, Trump was in Washington, DC, with her family — serving in the White House during President Trump’s first term — while her mother was in New York.
She said she chose therapy after “some of the challenges around Jared’s health. I had just left Washington. Our life was in flux. Jared was diagnosed with thyroid cancer for a second time and then my mother passed.”
Kushner secretly battled thyroid cancer and had surgery to remove a tumor in his throat while serving as a senior adviser in Trump’s first term, he revealed in his memoir.

Ivanka Trump revealed she watched her father, Donald Trump, get shot in “real time.”
And, in 2022, after his White House tenure, Kushner underwent a second thyroid surgery.
Trump also described watching in “real time” the assassination attempt on her father in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2023.
She was at the Trump golf club in Bedminster, NJ, on that day, hanging out at the pool with two of her children. The televisions were on, so she saw the attempt play out on the news.
But she said as she watched her father get up and exit the stage, surrounded by his Secret Service detail, she knew he “was fine,” adding: “I just knew it wasn’t his time.”
She revealed she has forgiven assassin Thomas Crooks for his actions.
