IVANKA TRUMP: “It’s very rarely that I open US Weekly and see myself in it. And that’s the way I like it.”
In this week’s Page Six Magazine, Ivanka Trump opens up on life as a “mogul-ette” – from growing up as a Trump to life in the tabloids and her future plans with boyfriend Jared Kushner.
Growing up the child of real-estate developer Donald and model mom Ivana – and watching their divorce play out in the tabloids – Ivanka is wary of the limelight: “It’s very rarely that I open US Weekly and see myself in it. And that’s the way I like it.”
What about her assets?
One topic that has drawn a lot of buzz from the gossip community are her often-debated “assets” – which her brother Donald Jr. proclaims to be “100-percent real.” She refuses to discuss them.
On her relationship with her parents, she says what you see is what you get. “My parents are exactly who you think. They’re very straightforward. They are highly blunt. They say exactly what they’re thinking. In terms of their public image versus the reality at home, I don’t think there is that much of a divide.”
Despite being famous by default, she has put in the time and effort to create her own career, as Vice President of Trump Enterprises and starting her own jewelry line, Ivanka Trump Collection. “The line is designed off my personality and my aesthetic. It’s feminine but with a modern twist on old Hollywood.”
Despite the outer glamour, Ivanka pegs herself as “lame,” with her ideal night off consisting of “getting group of friends together and trying – ‘trying’ is the operative word – to cook them dinner. I rarely go past midnight. I get up between 5:45 and 6am and ride my beach cruiser bike around the loop in Central Park for exercise. It’s cathartic.”
And on her on-again, off-again relationship with fellow real estate mogul and New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, she says, “I’m not looking to get married now. I have a lot on my plate. I would love to have children but I am certainly in no rush.” Will there be an engagement ring in her future? “Yes, I’m sure there are diamonds.”
