On June 25, just a day after the family was spotted landing at Marco Polo International Airport, Ivanka took to Instagram to post a heartwarming photo album from their adventures in Venice. “Da Venezia con amore” (“From Venice with love”), she captioned the post, which featured picturesque family moments set against the city’s breathtaking architecture.

Family moments in the city of canals

The lead image in the post shows Ivanka and Jared smiling alongside their children, Arabella Rose (13), Joseph Frederick (10), and Theodore James (8), on a terrace overlooking the stunning dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, one of Venice’s most treasured landmarks.

Ivanka looked elegant in a square-neck, red midi dress paired with strappy sandals. Arabella showcased her fashion-forward side in a flowy, pastel floral gown with a dramatic shoulder cape. At the same time, Jared and the boys donned polished summer ensembles in soft, neutral tones, perfect for the season and the setting.

Additional photos captured their arrival by water taxi, a quintessential Venetian experience, and the family’s joyful expressions made it clear they were relishing every moment. According to reports, the Trumps are staying at the luxurious St. Regis Venice, likely the location of the terrace shots, given the visible skyline views.

Ivanka also shared a solo portrait and another sweet moment featuring her three children on the hotel terrace, soaking in the views before the whirlwind wedding festivities.

Gondola Rides and Murano Glass: The Venetian Dream

In true tourist fashion, the Kushner-Trump clan also took a gondola ride through Venice’s legendary canals. One photo shows young Theodore clutching a gondolier’s oar while Ivanka and Arabella enjoy the ride. The family also visited the island of Murano, famous for its artisan glassblowing, a hands-on cultural moment the kids seemed to love.
