When Donald Trump left office after his first administration, Ivanka Trump was firm about her exit from politics.
When her father announced his third run for the White House, her statement focused on what her goals were outside of Washington, D.C.
“I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she wrote in November 2022.

People focused on her decision to have a “private life” after her role as a White House senior adviser, but she and husband Jared Kushner are being criticized for trying to stay in the spotlight.
“Now they’re no longer big players in Washington, they have all the time in the world to cultivate their good looks,” claimed a pal (or frenemy??) close to the Trump family to the Daily Mail. “They’ve always been especially vain.”
They don’t seem to love Ivanka’s fashion posts and surfing videos on Instagram. The critic wants her to pick a lane — private or public life. “You can’t have it both ways. She spent the first administration complaining about all the media attention, and now it seems she can’t get enough of it,” they added.
There were rumors at the end of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign that she was considering a return to politics, but that never came to fruition. Instead, she’s reportedly planning the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event that will be held at the White House for the United States’ 250th anniversary of independence on July 4, 2026, per Fox News.
“Ivanka is a longtime fan of UFC and is honored to help [UFC president] Dana White create an exciting event celebrating a sport beloved by so many Americans, as part of our country’s 250th celebration,” a source explained to the media outlet while noting it was not an official role.
Ivanka also runs in A-list circles that include friends like Kim Kardashian and Lauren Sánchez, so it’s hard to avoid the spotlight. But, not every one of her friends seems to enjoy her new life out of politics, and it’s a friendship she might want to reassess.
