In February 2023, a source claimed that Donald Trump Jr.’s siblings — especially Ivanka Trump — had mixed feelings about Kimberly Guilfoyle. “Ivanka doesn’t trust her because she sees her as a social climber desperate to marry into the family,” the insider told OK! at the time. Apparently, Guilfoyle being cropped out of the group wedding shot was no accident. “Kimberly knew the dress code and simply disregarded it, which upset both Tiffany [Trump] and Ivanka,” the insider added.
Amid reports circulating that Ivanka had turned sour on Guilfoyle, the former “The Five” host held a birthday party in March 2023. Among the attendees was Donald Trump. “Trump gave a big, long speech praising Kimberly and saying, ‘I look forward to officially welcoming Kimberly into the family … we all love her,'” an insider told Page Six. One notable absence from the party was Ivanka, who skipped the event with her husband Jared Kushner. “Their niece’s bat mitzvah was Thursday evening and it had been planned a long time ago,” a source added.
Ivanka may have missed the party due to a prior engagement, but she did give her future sister-in-law a birthday shoutout. “Happy birthday @kimberlyguilfoyle! Love you!” Ivanka wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of Guilfoyle and Donald Jr. (via OK!). Ivanka also uploaded a family group shot of the Trump clan to her Instagram Stories, and this time she did not crop out Guilfoyle. “Looking forward to many more memories and adventures together!” she wrote.
