“Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers out there!” the 43-year-old captioned her Instagram post, which featured a carousel of throwback photos showing her and Ivana through the years. The first slide features a solo photo of the late socialite posing in an all-pink ensemble.
“Today, I’m holding close the beautiful memories of my mother, Ivana—her strength, humor, and love continue to guide me every day. I feel her presence in so many moments, especially as I raise my own children,” Ivanka went on, before expressing gratitude to her grandmother, Marie Zelníčková, whom she fondly calls “Babi.”
“I’m also deeply grateful for my grandmother babi who fills our home with wisdom, grace, and unconditional love. Her quiet strength is a gift to all of us, and I cherish the bond she shares with my kids,” the former advisor to President Trump added.
