Trump Family Celebrates Milestone Birthday for Ivanka’s Grandmother

The Trump family recently gathered to celebrate a significant event, with Ivanka Trump sharing moments from the occasion. Ivanka, at 44, posted photos marking her grandmother Marie Zelníčková’s 100th birthday. The event saw four generations of family come together.

“100 years of life, love, family and memories,” wrote Ivanka on Instagram. The celebration unfolded on Saturday, September 26, at her Miami residence. Zelníčková joined her grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, as detailed in Ivanka’s post. “It was incredibly special,” Ivanka noted, emphasizing the family legacy.

A photo captured Ivanka with her niece Kai and grandmother Zelníčková at Mar-a-Lago in 2008 on Thanksgiving. Fast forward, Ivanka celebrated Zelníčková’s 100th birthday in Miami with family.

Ivanka appeared with husband Jared Kushner and their children, Arabella (15), Joseph (12), and Theodore (10). Eric Trump, along with wife Lara and children Luke (9) and Carolina (7), also attended. Donald Trump Jr. came with wife Bettina Anderson and children from his previous marriage: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.

The celebration served as a poignant reminder of Ivana Trump, Ivanka’s mother and Marie’s daughter, who passed away in July 2022 at age 73. Ivanka wrote, “My mother, her beloved daughter, was deeply missed, but her presence was felt through stories shared.” She also honored her grandmother’s influence, “Babi, your century of love has shaped generations.”

Ivanka has spoken previously of her bond with her grandmother, credited with helping raise her and living with Ivanka’s family now. Earlier this year, Ivanka became emotional discussing her grandmother on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast. Ivanka described her as “unbelievably nurturing,” and called having her at home “a blessing.”

Reflecting on family, Ivanka remarked, “You can’t take things for granted in life,” a realization shaped by losing her mother and witnessing her grandmother age.
