The birthday celebration comes weeks after the Trump family gathered to mark another major family milestone: the 100th birthday of Marie Zelnickova, the mother of Ivanka’s late mother, Ivana Trump.
Ivanka shared pictures from the celebration, which took place at her home in Miami.
The gathering brought together Zelnickova’s three grandchildren, Ivanka, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, their partners and all 10 of her great-grandchildren.
One family photo showed everyone gathered around a table, while another featured Zelnickova sitting behind a large cake shaped like the number 100.
She wore a turquoise top and a matching patterned jacket with a floral detail, accessorized with a pearl necklace, a bracelet and a gold watch.
Ivanka also shared a picture of herself and Kushner sitting with their three children, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore, alongside Zelnickova.

Alongside the family photos, Ivanka reflected on the significance of the milestone and the generations who came together to celebrate it.
“100 years of life, love, family and memories,” she wrote.
Ivanka said the celebration was held the previous Saturday at her Miami home, surrounded by family.
“It was incredibly special, a beautiful reflection of a family and legacy spanning four generations,” she added.
She also remembered her late mother, Ivana Trump, who died in 2022 at the age of 73 from injuries sustained in a fall down the stairs of her Manhattan townhouse.
Ivanka said her mother was “deeply missed,” but that her “love and presence was felt throughout the day in the stories we shared and in the family she loved so fiercely.”
Concluding her tribute, Ivanka addressed her grandmother directly, writing, “Babi, your century of love has shaped generations and lives in every one of us.”
“Celebrating you was an honor, a joy and a reminder of the extraordinary legacy you have created. Happy 100th birthday. We love you beyond words.”
