Family memories took center stage as Ivanka Trump celebrated her younger brother Eric Trump turning 42 — not with glamour, but with deeply personal throwbacks from their childhood.
Ivanka shared a series of nostalgic photos on social media, opening a rare window into her early years with Eric and their older brother Donald Trump Jr.. The siblings are the children of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana Trump, who were married from 1977 until 1992.
One of the images captures a carefree moment frozen in time. Ivanka leans comfortably against Donald Jr. while Eric lies across his lap. All three are laughing, relaxed, and unmistakably close — a snapshot that feels untouched by politics, business, or adulthood. Ivanka added a simple message over the photo, calling Eric her little brother and telling him she loves him.
Another throwback focuses just on Ivanka and Eric. Taken during a winter trip, the photo shows them bundled up in ski gear, surrounded by snow. Ivanka, dressed in pink, towers protectively over Eric, who wears dark blue. The two are holding hands as Ivana leans in to kiss Eric’s cheek, a tender family moment that speaks volumes without words.
The birthday tribute comes during a reflective period for Ivanka. Earlier this year, she shared a video montage highlighting her 2025 — a year filled with travel, time with her children, moments with her husband, friends, and extended family. Her father featured prominently as well, including scenes from his inauguration and warm moments with his grandchildren.
In her caption, Ivanka reflected on love as the constant thread running through her life, describing the importance of presence, softness, and starting anew. As she welcomed 2026, she spoke about moving forward with intention, creativity, and gratitude.
This birthday post felt like an extension of that message — a quiet reminder that beneath public roles and headlines, the bond between siblings still begins in childhood.
