Ivanka Trump and sister-in-law Karlie Kloss seen in good spirits at Costa Rica family vacation despite rumored feud

Published: Apr 21 2025

On Friday, Ivanka Trump and her sister-in-law, the supermodel Karlie Kloss, were observed soaking up some quality family bonding time amidst their vacation in the scenic landscapes of Costa Rica. The 43-year-old first daughter, donning an eye-catching orange bikini, was snapped once more catching the waves with grace on her surfboard. Meanwhile, the stylish 32-year-old Kloss opted for a chic ensemble, comprising a wide-brimmed sunhat, a sleek black one-piece swimsuit, and a coordinating sarong, as she refrained from participating in the athletic pursuits. Instead, she relaxed on the sandy shore, savoring a plate of delectable food in the company of her husband, Joshua Kushner, the younger sibling of Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner. Both brothers embraced the laid-back vibe, going shirtless and showcasing their toned physiques in their swim trunks.

Jared, 44, was also captured enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, immersed in the azure waters at one point. His fitness-enthusiast wife, Ivanka, seemed to revel in the surfing excitement, even if she was engaging in the sport solo. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump was spotted taking a brisk surf lesson before confidently riding the waves on a sprawling blue surfboard along the shores of Santa Teresa.

Since opting out of joining her father, President Trump, for his second term in Washington, DC, the former fashion designer has embraced a more relaxed lifestyle. She and Jared have relocated to Miami with their three children: Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, 8. Despite stepping away from the political arena, drama still seemed to trail Ivanka to South Florida.

Rumors of a rift between her and Kloss first emerged last year after both were notably absent from each other's company at an opulent wedding they both attended. However, sources swiftly quashed these speculations, exclusively informing Page Six that the two sisters-in-law share a "good relationship." The insiders acknowledged that their friendship had been "tested" during President Trump's political tenure. One source clarified, "Ivanka and Karlie maintain a good rapport; they are part of the same family, attend family events together, and share a social circle in Miami. While they may not be best friends, it's inaccurate to suggest they don't get along." Another insider added, "At the end of the day, they are all family."

Kloss has been vocal about her decision not to vote for President Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. She also expressed her views on the January 6, 2021, Capitol siege, deeming it "anti-American." Ivanka, who once served as a top advisor to her father, was reportedly "surprised and hurt" by Kloss's remarks.
