I love you more than words can express.
Happy Birthday, Arabella."

Ivanka on how much she admires her daughter

"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," said Ivanka.
Ivanka then shared that she and her family have incorporated jiu-jitsu into their routines, with Ivanka finding it mentally beneficial. "It's almost like a moving meditation," she said. "Because the movements are so micro. It's like three-dimensional chess. And now it's funny, like I'll watch Ultimate Fighting," she added.
