Ivanka Trump Enjoys Low-key Birthday Lunch With Friend After Sharing Cryptic Post About Overcoming ‘pain’

Ivanka Trump looked elegant in olive green as she stepped out for a low-key lunch with a friend on her 44th birthday.

The first daughter and mom-of-three oozed glamor in high-waisted khaki trousers and a modest matching T-shirt as she arrived at a restaurant in Miami, Floridaon Thursday.

She tied her outfit together with a chunky belt and completed her ensemble with a pair of boot heels and brown sunglasses.

Ivanka‘s signature blonde hair appeared chic as it draped cooly down her shoulders.

She enjoyed a birthday lunch with her pal Isabela Grutman, who is the founder of sustainable women’s clothing line RANGEL and Isa Grutman Jewelry.

Hours before her lunch date, Ivanka – born on October 30, 1981 – shared 15 life lessons that she’s learned over the past year, including her advice on overcoming ‘pain’ and ‘sitting with what shattered.’

In a sweet upload, she posted a carousel of photos which included a snap of her family at dad Donald Trump‘s inauguration this past January.

Also included in the post were photos of herself and husband Jared Kushner in Italy for Jeff Bezos‘ wedding to Lauren Sanchez this summer.

‘Each birthday (and today is my 44th!) invites reflection – on what I’ve learned, what I hold dear, and how I want to walk forward with greater clarity, courage and grace,’ Ivanka wrote in the caption of her post, before she listed the various lessons that she had learned.

Her first lesson was about family, as she emphasized the importance of being close to her loved ones.

‘Family remains the heartbeat of my life. Everything expands outward from there,’ Ivanka, who shares daughter Arabella, 13, and sons Joseph, 10, and Theodore, eight, with her husband, said.

However, her second wisdom was a bit more cryptic, as she quoted 13th-century poet Rumi about ‘true healing.’

Ivanka typed: ‘Peace is born not of forgetting, but of transforming pain into wisdom.

‘As the poet Rumi wrote, ‘The wound is the place where the Light enters you.’ True healing asks for patience.

‘The strength to sit with what shattered before building what’s next. In that stillness, empathy becomes architecture.’

The third piece of wisdom on her list had everything to do with kindness.

‘Kindness is the simplest form of greatness. In a world that rewards noise and self-interest, being kind is an act of quiet rebellion. To be kind is not naïve, it is powerful, brave, and radical,’ Ivanka wrote.

In total, Ivanka shared 15 of these life lessons with her followers.

Others included how you can measure success, as she referred to it as a ‘scale,’ and the important role that friendship plays in one’s life.

The socialite’s birthday comes just two days after it was announced that she had been appointed to the glitzy FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund Advisory Board – an $100 million project partially funded by the sale of 2026 World Cup tickets.

The president’s daughter proudly shared the news on her Instagram Stories Tuesday morning, while listing other board members, including The Weeknd and Shakira – who have both been critical of the president.

Along with The Weeknd, Shakira and Ivanka, other stars, including Hugh Jackman, have joined the board.

Professional athletes Serena Williams and former Brazilian soccer player Kaka are also a part of it, along with Jim Damare, the Co-President of Bank of America and Gianni Infantino, the president of Fédération Internationale de Football Association.
