Over the years, Ivanka has opened up about her daughter and her personality. In an appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, Ivanka revealed that Arabella was the reason why her family began practicing jiu-jitsu, a sport that they now practice consistently.

"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.
