Miami has brought them together. Ivanka Trump and Gisele Bündchen have developed a friendship ever since they moved to Florida, with the two being involved in each other's lives. This week, Ivanka joined Gisele and her family aboard her luxury yacht, with the two sharing laughs and wearing matching bikinis as they enjoyed their sunny day.

Ivanka joined Gisele and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, on their boat in Miami, where the couple spends most of their weekends alongside friends and family. 

The friend group was also joined by Gisele's daughter, Vivian Brady, who was photographed with a friend as the two chatted and laughed together aboard the yacht. 

Paparazzi captured Ivanka and Gisele having a great time together, with the pair eating some food aboard the yacht. They were photographed eating from take-out boxes in matching black bikini tops, which they rounded off with colorful wraps. 

Ivanka completed her look with a black cap and some sunglasses, while Gisele held up her hair in a ponytail and shielded her eyes from the sun.

A deeper look into Ivanka and Gisele's friendship

While Ivanka and Gisele are both friends with some of the wealthiest and most notorious people in the industry, it wasn't until they both moved to Miami that their relationship blossomed, with them photographed hanging out together in locations like Costa Rica. 

Ivanka and her children also train with Valente, with him being their Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Ivanka has grown so proficient in the practice that she's been featured in his company's social media, with her showing off some of the moves she's learned. 

In an appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, Ivanka shared her journey with Jiu-Jitsu, including the fact that it started due to her daughter's desire to learn self-defense. 

"My daughter Arabella came to me and said, 'As a woman, I feel like I need to know how to defend myself. And I don't have a confidence level yet that I can do that. Can you sign me up for a self-defense class?' My jaw just hit the ground," she said. 

 Ivanka revealed that now her entire family practices the sport.
