Ivanka Trump showed her support for her father, former President Donald Trump, as she watched him tee off during a LIV Golf pro-am event held at his New Jersey golf course on Thursday ahead of the Saudi-backed league’s third tournament. 

The former White House senior adviser, 40, and her husband, Jared Kushner, 41, were spotted chatting with her dad at the 1st tee at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. 

Despite the public fallout between Trump and the couple, they all had smiles on their faces as they caught up on the golf course in the sweltering heat.

Ivanka was dressed in a pale blue polo dress featuring two white stripes on the sleeves, and she shielded her eyes from the sun with a pair of classic aviators.

The temperature soared into the 90s on Thursday, but the former first daughter opted to wear her long blonde hair down in loose curls.

Jared was dressed casually in a white T-shirt, blue shorts, and dark sunglasses for the golf event. At one point, he was also seen wearing a navy Wimbledon cap. 

The couple was joined by their young sons, Joseph, eight, and Theodore, six, who looked just like their dad in white polo shirts, khaki shorts, and baseball caps. 

Their 11-year-old daughter Arabella didn’t appear to be with them.

Trump reunited with Ivanka and Jared last week when the family gathered together in New York City to bid farewell to Ivana Trump, his first wife and the mother of his three oldest children. 

Ivana, 73, was found ‘unconscious and unresponsive’ at the bottom of the staircase in her Upper East Side townhouse on July 14 around 12:30 p.m. Her housekeeper found her as she arrived for work and called 911.

A medical examiner determined that she died from blunt impact injuries as a result of a fall, according to TMZ.

Trump was seen comforting was seen Ivanka at her mother’s funeral, the first time that they had been seen together in seven months since their public falling out over the 2020 presidential election. 

Prior to the funeral, Ivanka and Jared were most recently pictured having a Christmas Eve dinner with Trump and his wife, Melania, at their private club Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida.

Before that, they were last seen together in January 2021, on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. 

Tensions between the father and daughter followed Trump’s lengthy rant attacking the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol after he tried to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

Ivanka, who was always considered Trump’s favorite child, said there was ‘no evidence’ of her father winning the election.

The January 6 committee aired a portion of her testimony, in which the former first daughter did appear to throw him under the bus.

The day after her comments came to light, he responded to the claims that his daughter did not believe there had been widespread voter fraud.

‘Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, election results,’ he said. ‘She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as attorney General. He sucked!’

Both Ivanka and Jared served as senior advisers in the Trump administration. She previously appeared to support her father, saying that ‘every single vote needs to be counted, and needs to be heard.’

Trump seemed to have his daughter’s support once again on Thursday as he kicked off the LIV Golf tournament, which will take place from July 29-31 at his Bedminster club. 

He defended the decision to host the Saudi-backed league amid a backdrop of fury from 9/11 families, telling reporters ‘no one has gotten to the bottom’ of who is to blame for the attacks and sticking up for his Saudi ‘friends.’

Trump, battling the mid-morning heat in his signature MAGA hat and white polo shirt, teed off at the pro-am event where he was joined by his son Eric Trump, Caitlin Jenner, Charles Barkley, and pro golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson.

Trump, 76, told reporters: ‘I’ve known these people for a long time in Saudi Arabia and they have been friends of mine.

‘They own big percentages of many, many American companies, and frankly, what they are doing for golf is so great, what they are doing for the players is so great. The salaries are going to go way up.

‘The PGA was not loved by a lot of the players, for a long time. Now they have an alternative and nobody ever would have known it was going to be a gold rush, like this.’

As for 9/11, he said: ‘Nobody’s gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately. And they should have. As to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world, so nobody’s really been there.’

Later, as he headed off the first tee, Trump even hinted that he would run for the White House once more.

‘You’re going to be so happy. We’ll let you know pretty soon,’ he said before asking where the reporter was from. ‘They just did a story on me, beautiful,’ he said. ‘The first one in five years. Front page, tell them I appreciate it.’
