Ivanka Trump took to social media to share a deeply personal and touching celebration this week as her grandmother, lovingly called Babi, turned 99 years old. The milestone wasn’t just marked by candles on a cake, but by a gathering that brought together four generations of family in Miami.
In her post, Ivanka captured the emotional weight of the day, writing: "Last weekend we gathered in Miami to celebrate an extraordinary milestone — our beloved Babi turning 99. ✨🎂 Four generations filled the backyard with love: her grandchildren and her beautiful great-grandchildren, all here to honor the woman who has been the heart of our family."

The celebration was not only about marking nearly a century of life but also about the continuation of family traditions. Ivanka reflected on her grandmother’s resilience and love, highlighting her as the central figure of their family.
She also paid tribute to her late mother, Ivana Trump, Babi’s only child, who passed away in 2022. Ivanka noted that while her mother was physically absent, her “spirit was present in every moment and shared memory.”

What stood out most in Ivanka’s message was her acknowledgment of the profound gift of having her grandmother still with them. She described Babi’s presence as “one of life’s greatest blessings,” emphasizing how grateful she is to return even a fraction of the love, comfort, and care her grandmother has provided throughout her life.
Her words struck a chord with followers who often see public figures through the lens of politics or business, but here, Ivanka offered a glimpse into the private joy and gratitude of family life.

Remembering Ivana
In July 2025, Ivanka Trump remembered her dear mother three years after her death. Ivana was Donald Trump's first wife and died on July 14th of 2022. "I love and miss you mom. Not a day goes by without you in my heart," she wrote in the caption.
Ivana died, she was 73 years old, after falling down a set of stairs and sustaining fatal injuries. She died in New York and was found in her apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
