Melania and Ivanka have an age gap of just 11 years and there has been some speculation over whether they are friends.
However, some would be surprised to know just how much the two women have in common.

Both Melania and Ivanka have actively supported Donald during his time in the White House.
When he was inaugurated, Ivanka took on the role of one of his senior political advisors.

Melania is the First Lady of the United States and will often accompany Donald on political visits.
Modelling career
Before turning to politics, both women enjoyed successful careers as models.
In fact, Melania was working as a model when she first met her husband in 1998.
During her career, the mother-of-one has graced the cover of magazines including Vogue and Vanity Fair.
Ivanka formed a partnership with Dynamic Diamond Corp in 2007 to create Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry.
The First Lady designed lavish statement jewellery pieces for Melania Timepieces, which once sold on QVC.
When Donald was elected as President, a spokesperson for Melania confirmed their good relationship.
She told Vanity Fair: “Ivanka and Mrs Trump have always shared a close relationship, and that continues today.”
