Ivanka Trump Celebrates Grandmother's 100th Birthday

Ivanka Trump recently hosted a significant family milestone: the 100th birthday celebration of her maternal grandmother, Marie Zelníčková.

The event, which brought together four generations of the family, took place on Saturday, September 26, at Trump's Miami residence. Zelníčková, affectionately known as "Babi," was surrounded by her three grandchildren and all 10 of her great-grandchildren.

"100 years of life, love, family and memories," Ivanka Trump shared on Instagram, describing the occasion as "incredibly special" and a reflection of her family's enduring legacy.

Among the attendees were Ivanka Trump with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children. Eric Trump and his wife, Lara Trump, were present with their two children. Donald Trump Jr. attended with his wife, Bettina Anderson, and his five children from a previous marriage.

The gathering also served as a poignant reminder of Ivanka Trump's late mother, Ivana Trump, who was Zelníčková's daughter and passed away in July 2022. "My mother, her beloved daughter, was deeply missed, but her love and presence was felt throughout the day in the stories we shared and in the family she loved so fiercely," Ivanka Trump wrote.

She expressed deep affection for her grandmother, acknowledging her profound impact: "Babi, your century of love has shaped generations and lives in every one of us." Ivanka Trump has previously spoken about her close bond with Zelníčková, who helped raise her and currently resides with the family, calling her "unbelievably nurturing" and a "blessing."
