Decomposition of the family tree

There will be plenty of familiar faces in the crowd when President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in Monday at the US Capitol for his second administration.

But the inner workings and relationships with Trump’s extended family can get a little thorny and may require some deciphering, so WWD created a cheat sheet to break down the family tree. The former and future president and his late wife Ivana had three children — Don Jr., 47, Ivanka, 43, and Eric, 41. Trump and his second wife Marla Maples have a daughter, Tiffany. And the 78-year-old politician and his current wife Melania have a son, Barron.

A telegenic personality and tough businesswoman in her own right, Ivana Trump never shied away from her married name, even after the couple’s much-publicized divorce in 1992. In the 1993 feature film “The First Wives Club,” she famously declared, “And remember. ..don’t get mad – get everything.” In 2022, Ivana Trump died at the age of 73, after a fall in her Upper East Side apartment.

Maples married Trump in 1993 after the birth of their daughter, and the couple divorced in 1999. Some may know the 61-year-old Maples, a former model and actress, from her stint on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Maples, a model and television personality, married Trump in 1993 and the couple divorced in 1999.

Don. Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa have five children, Kai, 17, Donald III, 15, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10. Donald Trump Jr.’s day job is Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. Kai is a competitive high school golfer who has verbally committed to play at the University of Miami. With 952,000 followers on Instagram, the athlete has been showing off his swing there for a while. She also has 697,000 followers on her YouTube channel. Kai Trump announced her verbal commitment to the University of Miami on Instagram, thanking her parents and her grandfather for giving her “access to amazing courses and tremendous support.” (That would be golf courses like at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Va., where the family had a reception and fireworks Saturday night.)

Although the soon-to-be college athlete is not yet old enough to vote, she spoke at last summer’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee wearing a Nordstrom dress. The teenager is also a fan of Ralph Lauren, given a post last month in which she wore one of the designer’s American flag sweaters garnered 199,000 likes.

In addition to Vanessa Trump, a former model who is 47, Don’s Jr’s former fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle will also be in attendance on Monday. Last month, when the couple called off their wedding plans, Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality, was named US ambassador to Greece. (Other political watchers may recall from years ago that the 55-year-old was romantically linked to California Gov. Gavin Newsom during his time as mayor of San Francisco.) Guilfoyle and Eric Trump’s wife share a fondness for Miami-based fashion designer Oscar Garcia -Lopez, who created their custom gowns for Monday night’s inaugural ball.

Don Jr.’s current paramour Bettina Anderson, a former model and Palm Beach socialite, is also expected to be on the opening stage Monday.

Ivanka Trump, a Wharton student and businesswoman, and her husband Jared Kushner, 44, are no longer part of the president-elect’s advisers as they were during the first Trump administration. The Miami-based couple have three children – Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph, 11, and Theodore, who is eight. Kushner’s father Jared was appointed as ambassador to France by the newly elected president in November. Fashion types know the Kushner name for apolitical reasons, Kushner’s investor brother Joshua, co-founder of Thrive Capital, is married to model and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss. Through their holding company Bedford Media, the enterprising duo announced last year that they plan to revive Life magazine in print, digital and video streams through a deal with Dotdash Meredith.

Eric Trump serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization. Lara Trump, a triathlete and former associate producer on “Inside Edition,” previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Convention. The 42-year-old North Carolina native abandoned his Florida Senate bid last month. A few weeks ago, she took to another stage – singing her rendition of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” during the New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago. She and Eric have a seven-year-old son Eric and a five-year-old daughter Carolina.

Tiffany Trump, 31, an alum of Georgetown University’s Law School, is married to businessman Michael Boulos. Last month, the incoming president appointed Boulos’ father to Massad to be an adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

Perhaps the time since the first Trump administration is most measurable by the president-elect’s youngest son Barron. Now a student at New York University, the year-old can’t miss at 6’9.” But don’t look for the freshman to be hanging around the White House anytime soon. He’s still in the second semester of his freshman year to complete in Manhattan Once described by his father as “a very fit kid” and photographed wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with “The Expert” in 2017, Barron Trump has stepped up his look to tailored suits that he personally selects.
