Ivanka Trump might be happily married to Jared Kushner, but that doesn’t mean she’s ignoring her admirers, especially when one happens to be a rising NFL star.
On Friday, the former White House advisor and daughter of President Donald Trump paid a visit to the Philadelphia Eagles’ training facility, bringing along her youngest son, Theodore Kushner. But this wasn’t just a casual tour—it seemed Ivanka may have been hoping to cross paths with one particular player: cornerback Eli Ricks.
Ricks made headlines just last month for his bold comments on X (formerly Twitter), where he openly gushed over Ivanka after the Eagles' White House visit celebrating their Super Bowl win.
“Donald trump daughter is beautiful d**m,” he wrote on April 28. And if that wasn’t clear enough, he followed it up with: “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”
Although Ricks wasn’t around during Ivanka’s visit to the training center, she made sure to let him know he was missed—with a personal note left at his locker. Later, she shared a playful post on X with a photo of the handwritten message and a snapshot of his locker.
“Missed you today @eliasricks,” she captioned the post. The note itself read: “Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!”
Ricks wasted no time replying to the shoutout, responding, “My apologies, I owe you a glass of wine now xx!”
Naturally, fans online couldn’t resist chiming in on the cheeky back-and-forth. “Send her a bottle of wine wrapped in your jersey,” one person suggested. Another added, “Bro clean your locker. You don’t have a shot with a chick like that if that’s how your room looks.”
While Ivanka and Kushner—who tied the knot in 2009—share three children together, that didn’t stop Ricks from playing the field. Though he’s stayed mum on his political leanings, Ricks did share a few snaps of himself posing with a portrait of President Trump during the team’s White House visit.
