Donald Trump's Family Tree: Five Children, 10 Grandchildren

September 21, 2024

At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump officially assumed his role as the GOP’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election and announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate.

It was not just the patriarch of the Trump family that took center stage at the RNC, but Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and his granddaughter, Kai Trump, who also addressed the crowd. Trump’s wife Melania and his daughter Ivanka were present at the convention, though they did not speak.

With the Trumps firmly in the limelight, here is a breakdown of the business mogul and former President’s family tree.

Trump’s eldest son, and one of three children from his first marriage with the late Ivana Trump, has assumed a public-facing role throughout his father’s business and political career. He serves as executive vice president in The Trump Organization and often champions his father’s Make America Great Again campaign. At the time of publication, Trump Jr. has over 11 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). Over a decade before his father was elected president in 2016, Trump Jr. was arrested for "public intoxication" in downtown New Orleans.

In 2021, Trump Jr. launched a lifestyle media brand called Field Ethos.

He was previously married to Vanessa Trump, with whom he shares five children—Kai, 17, Donald Trump III, 15, Tristan, 12, Spencer, 11, and Chloe, 10. He is now engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Kimberly Guilfoyle

Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, a former prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles, also took to the stage at the RNC. Guilfoyle, 55, is the former wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and served as the first lady of San Francisco in the first two years Newsom served as Mayor, from 2003 to 2005.

Guilfoyle has a son, Ronan, from a previous marriage to businessman Eric Villency, who she wed after Newsom.

Kai Trump

Trump Jr.’s eldest daughter, Kai Trump, addressed the crowd at the RNC to “show a side of [her] grandpa that people don’t usually see,” making her public speaking debut. Kai, 17, is an avid golfer, and is on the varsity team at her high school in Florida.

Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has frequently accompanied him on the campaign trail or acted as a surrogate for her father. During her father’s presidency, Ivanka, 42, was a senior advisor in his administration, and also was the director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship. Since her father’s presidency, though, she has retreated from politics and the public eye. She did not speak at the 2024 RNC, but she did make an appearance on computer scientist Lex Fridman’s podcast, which was released in early July.

Jared Kushner

Ivanka’s husband, 43, is a business mogul in his own right. The CEO of New Jersey real estate empire Kushner Companies and publisher of the New York Observer is the son of Charles Kushner, a real estate developer who founded Kushner Companies.

The Kushner-Trump couple reported between $172m and $640m in outside income while working in the White House, according to analysis by CREW. After Trump left the White House, Kushner's private equity firm received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

Ivanka and Jared share three children—Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, 8.

Former President Trump’s son Eric, 40, maintains less of a public persona than his older brother, but still has a leading presence in the Trump family business. Eric spoke at the RNC in defense of his father’s presidential candidacy. Eric, like his brother, is an executive vice president at The Trump Organization.

Lara Trump

Eric’s wife, Lara Trump, is a one-time CBS producer. She took center stage at the 2024 RNC, closing the second day of the convention. She focused her speech on Trump’s role as grandparent to her children with Eric.

Lara, 41, has co-chaired the Republican National Committee since March 2024, and has been a major fundraiser for the party, helping them rake in more than $280 million since March. In the past few years, she has risen the ranks in the Republican party, and is overseeing the organization’s early voting drive, dubbed “Swamp the Vote,” a nationwide initiative to encourage Republicans to vote by mail. Eric and Lara share two children–Eric Trump Jr., 6, and Carolina, 4.

Donald Trump’s fourth child, Tiffany, stood with her father in the arena at the RNC. Tiffany, 30, is Trump's only child with second wife and actress Marla Maples, to whom he was married between 1993 and 1999. In 2011, Tiffany released a pop song called “Like a Bird.” She has spoken to the public a few times during her father’s political career, and made a speech during the 2016 RNC.

Michael Boulos

Michael Boulos is a businessman, who’s family, according to Page Six, founded SCOA Nigeria and Boulos Enterprises. He married Tiffany in November 2022.

Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, now 18, largely stays out of the limelight. Throughout his childhood and his father’s presidency, Barron attended private high schools in the New York, Washington D.C., and Palm Beach areas.

In May 2024, Barron graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, though he has not announced where he will attend college. Barron joined his father on the campaign trail in July at a rally in Doral, Florida.
