Quincy Jones who once confessed he dated Ivanka Trump criticized Donald Trump in bombshell interview
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Quincy Jones, who died on Sunday, November 3, at the age of 91 once claimed that he dated Ivanka Trump.
In 2018, Jones made headlines with a candid interview with New York Magazine in which he confessed he once went on a date with Ivanka whom he described as "having the most beautiful legs."
Quincy Jones calls Donald Trump a 'megalomaniac narcissist'
In the interview, Quincy Jones, who reflected on his encounter with Ivanka Trump, said, “Wrong father, though,” referring to former president Donald Trump.
The music icon, then 73, recounted that designer Tommy Hilfiger had arranged the date after his daughter Kidada, a former model, mentioned Ivanka’s interest in meeting him.
The former president's daughter, who was 25 at the time, has neither confirmed nor denied Jones' claim and at the time of the interview, she was serving as an advisor to her father in the White House.
During that same interview with New York magazine, Jones openly criticized Donald Trump, calling him a “crazy m**********r” and a “megalomaniac narcissist.”
The candid revelations left interviewer David Marchese stunned, as Jones elaborated on both his distaste for the Republican frontrunner and his colorful dating life, according to Daily Mail.
Quincy Jones' unconventional love life
In a January 2018 interview with GQ, Quincy Jones disclosed he has dated multiple women, revealing that he had “22 girlfriends” across various countries, including Cape Town, Stockholm, and Shanghai.
“I don’t lie,” he said of his relationships and noted that he was always open about his lifestyle.
He even humorously acknowledged that his daughters had asked him to avoid dating women younger than them, resulting in an “age restriction” between 28 and 42.
Known for dating younger women, Jones' relationships included a year-long partnership with 19-year-old Egyptian designer Heba Elawadi when he was 73.
Quincy Jones' multiple marriages
Quincy Jones was married three times. His first marriage to Jeri Caldwell, his high school sweetheart, lasted nine years.
He shared his daughter Jolie with Caldwell.

After divorcing Andersson, he married actress Peggy Lipton, and they had two daughters, one of whom, Rashida Jones, followed her mother into acting.
He also had two other daughters, Rachel, with dancer Carol Reynolds, and Kenya, with actress Nastassja Kinski.
Despite his high-profile romances, Jones did not remarry after his divorce from actress Peggy Lipton in 1989.
Jones, who was a pioneer in the music industry, died peacefully, surrounded by family at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
No official cause of death has been disclosed.
