Don’t mess with Ivanka Trump.
The first daughter, 43, has taken up martial arts and flaunted her impressive skills on social media Friday.
Trump practiced the combat sport on a blue mat in a video posted by the Valente Brothers, a trio of siblings — including Gisele Bündchen’s boyfriend, Joaquim Valente — who co-own a jiu-jitsu studio.
In the clip, President Trump’s daughter wore a white robe and a blue belt, which means she has reached a significant level in her teachings, as it typically requires a minimum of two years of consistent training.
“Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art,” the Valente Brothers wrote in their caption.
“Rooted in ancient tradition and refined over generations, it offers a path to physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”
They added that what makes the jiu-jitsu journey even more “meaningful” is “sharing it with those we respect and value,” concluding, “As families, training together gives us the rare gift of growing side by side, on the mat and in life. @ivankatrump.”
Ivanka faced off against Gui Valente in most of the video, but Joaquim was seen bowing at the end alongside his other brother, Pedro Valente, and his father, Pedro Valente, Sr.
The Valente Brothers’ studio is based in Southern Florida, which is where both Ivanka, 43, and Bündchen, 44, reside. It’s unclear if the two women have crossed paths, but Ivanka follows Bündchen on Instagram.
The supermodel recently gave birth to her first son with Joaquim. She also has two older children — Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12 — with ex-husband Tom Brady, whom she divorced in October 2022.
Bündchen and Joaquim met in 2021, when Benjamin began taking classes at the Valente Brothers.
However, the “Lessons” author then started training herself and grew a passion for jiu-jitsu.
“I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense,” she captioned an Instagram post of her in a class.
“I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go!”
Bündchen and Joaquim started spending a lot of time together at least a year after meeting, and were even spotted on several trips to Costa Rica.
Although sources say marriage is not in the cards for the pair, an insider exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that Bündchen feels much “freer” in her relationship with Joaquim than she did with Brady, 47.
Ivanka, meanwhile, appears to be enjoying Miami life with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three kids. Fitness appears to be an important aspect of her lifestyle post-White House.
In February, she flaunted her abs in a mirror selfie on Instagram and wrote alongside of it in part, “let’s keep going! 🦾 Strong body / Strong mind !”
