Ivanka Trump was photographed Sunday on a yacht off Miami with model Gisele Bündchen and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, a day when her husband, Jared Kushner, and their daughter were in New York attending the U.S. Open final with former President Donald Trump.
The 43-year-old appeared relaxed on the boat, wearing a plunging black bikini top and a Missoni beach towel wrapped around her waist, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Photographs show Trump reclining beside Bündchen as the trio ate a light lunch and soaked up the late-summer sun. The group also appeared to include Bündchen’s 12-year-old daughter, Vivian, and a companion.
Trump’s appearance on the yacht comes as Kushner and their daughter Arabella, 13, were photographed at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens with Donald Trump for the men’s final. The United States Tennis Association, according to notices circulated to broadcasters including ESPN and Sky Sports, asked networks to censor any protests or reactions to Trump’s attendance at the match. Reporters in the stadium noted both cheers and boos during the event.
Since stepping back from formal political roles after the administration, Trump and Kushner relocated to Miami with their three children. They live on Indian Creek Island in a property reported to be about 1.3 acres overlooking Biscayne Bay. Trump has maintained a public profile that includes travel, family posts on social media and fitness activities; she has trained at Valente Brothers, Valente’s Miami Beach jiu-jitsu academy, for several years.
In interviews, Trump has spoken about jiu-jitsu as a physical and philosophical practice she enjoys with her children. She described it as a “moving meditation” in comments on a podcast earlier this year, saying it combined “physical movements and philosophy.” Photographs from the yacht showed her engaged and animated during conversation with her companions.
Trump and Kushner have made several public appearances since leaving Washington, D.C., including travel to Europe earlier in the summer to attend a wedding in Venice. Trump has also joined family members at major sporting events. The former first daughter’s Miami residence and lifestyle have drawn attention as she maintains a lower-profile role in national politics while remaining a visible figure in social and cultural settings.
The U.S. Open final marked another high-profile public appearance for Donald Trump during his presidency. He is also expected to attend events in New York this week, including a ceremony at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 11. The interplay of political appearances in New York and private social time in Miami highlights the dual public and private lives maintained by members of the former president’s family.
Photographs of the yacht outing circulated on social media and in tabloid coverage Sunday, drawing attention to the contrast between Trump’s leisure in Miami and her family’s presence at a major sporting event in New York. Representatives for Trump, Kushner and Bündchen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
