Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, recently captured the attention of millions with a social media post that has gone viral.
The post, shared on X, features a note she left for Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks, garnering over 5.6 million views. This surge of interest underscores the enduring fascination with the Trump family and hints at the potential for one or more of the President's children to embark on their own political journeys.
As reported by Newsweek, Ivanka Trump, who previously served as a senior advisor during her father's initial tenure in the White House, has maintained a relatively low profile during the 2024 presidential campaign and his subsequent return to office.
Her recent visit to the Philadelphia Eagles' training facility, accompanied by her son Theodore Kushner, who enjoyed a game of flag football on the practice field, has reignited public interest.
The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh from their Super Bowl LIX triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs, were welcomed to the White House by President Trump on April 28. During this visit, Eli Ricks, a cornerback for the Eagles, took to social media to express his admiration for Ivanka Trump, stating, "Donald trump daughter is beautiful d***" and "After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type."
In response to Ricks' comments, Ivanka Trump left a handwritten note in the Eagles' locker room, which read: "Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds! Ivanka." She shared photographs of the note on X, playfully addressing Ricks with the caption, "Missed you today @eliasricks ! ????" This post quickly gained traction, amassing over 18,000 likes and 5.6 million views.
Ricks, not one to shy away from the exchange, replied with his own post, stating, "My apologies [woman facepalming emoji], I owe you a glass of wine now xx!" His response also went viral, collecting more than 19,000 likes and 2.3 million views.
The lighthearted interaction between Ivanka Trump and Eli Ricks has captivated audiences, with NFL insider Jordan Schultz sharing screenshots of their messages, humorously noting, "Ivanka Trump... Elias Ricks. Yes, this is real. [Flushed face emoji, Loudly crying face emoji]."
Eli Ricks, who joined the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2023 after playing college football at LSU and Alabama, has found himself at the center of this viral moment. Following his White House visit, he shared a photograph of himself seated in front of a painting depicting President Trump's survival of an assassination attempt on July 13, 2024.
Ivanka Trump, married to business magnate Jared Kushner since 2009, is a mother of three. Her recent interaction with Ricks has sparked commentary from fans, including New Jersey-based David Nevil, who quipped, "Eli Ricks and Ivanka Trump are the power couple I never knew we needed." This playful exchange highlights the enduring public interest in the Trump family and their interactions with prominent figures in sports and beyond.
