Ivanka Trump marked Father's Day by spending time with her children and father, President Donald Trump, at Camp David, but noted the absence of her husband, Jared Kushner. In an Instagram Story post, Trump, 42, shared a statement reflecting on the holiday, stating that while Kushner "couldn't be with us," his absence was "born on purpose" and his presence was still felt.
"The older I get, the more I realize that family is built in both the extraordinary moments and the ordinary ones: a walk, a laugh, a story shared around the dinner table," Trump wrote. "These become the memories our children carry forward. Feeling especially grateful for the fathers who love, lead, and serve through both presence and sacrifice."
The businesswoman was joined at the Maryland retreat by her three children—Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore—as well as her father, siblings, and their families. Photos shared from the weekend showed Trump with her children, riding horses with her brother Eric Trump, and with her half-sister Tiffany Trump.
Also present were Donald Trump Jr. and his new wife, Lara Trump, and their children, along with Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos and their son. President Trump was pictured surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Trump also shared memories from her brother Donald Trump Jr.'s recent wedding in the Bahamas. She posted a carousel of photos from the event, including pictures of herself with Kushner, and with the newlyweds. Bettina Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s wife, commented on the post, expressing her gratitude to Ivanka.
Camp David, a 125-acre presidential retreat, served as the setting for the family gathering. The Father's Day observance coincided with Trump reflecting on other recent family events, highlighting a blend of personal reflection and shared family experiences.
