Arabella Rose Kushner was born on the 17th of July, 2011 in New York. Her parents Jared and Ivanka started dating in 2005. The couple met through mutual friends. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for her parents at the beginning of the relationship. They encountered negative reception from Jared’s parents and they broke up 3 years into their relationship in 2008. Their break up, however, didn’t last and they got back together and got married in 2009. They were married in a Jewish ceremony on the 25th of October, 2009.
Arabella is one of her parent’s 3 children and she has been drawing lots of attention lately as a result of the amazing things she does. Read all about it below.
1. She is the 3rd Oldest Grandchild of Donald Trump
It is a curious thing to be a relative of Donald Trump and amidst all the wealth and multiple children, Arabella Rose Kushner places as the third grandchild after Kai Madison and Donald Trump III, the children of Donald Trump Jr.
Those she is older than include Spencer Frederick, Chloe Sophia, and Tristan Milos who are the other children of Donald Trump Jr. Others are Eric Trump’s children who are Carolina and Eric as well as Arabella’s own younger siblings – Theodore James and Joseph Frederick.
2. Arabella Rose Kushner is the Oldest Child of Her Parents
When Arabella Rose Kushner grows up, she will be the leader of the Ivanka-Jared household. She is the eldest child of her parents’ 3 children. She has two younger brothers, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James. Theodore James, many believe, is named after former American presidents Theodore Roosevelt and any of the 5 ‘Jameses’ who have been presidents of the US.
He was born in the evening of Easter Sunday (March 27) 2016 during the campaigns that eventually produced his grandfather Donald Trump as the President of the US. Theodore’s elder brother Joseph (born in 2014) was named after the biblical Joseph who became an Egyptian prince while on exile.
3. She is Receiving Jewish Education
Arabella Rose Kushner was already enrolled at the Jewish Primary Day School (JPDS) Washington DC before her grandfather Donald Trump was elected the President of the US. She was earlier enrolled at a kindergarten in Manhattan, New York. The Jewish school she currently attends is notable for training kids from high-profile backgrounds.
For instance, the children of Rahm Emanuel, former Mayor of Chicago, and those of Connecticut Senator Joe Liebermann were once enrolled there. It may also interest you to learn that both of her parents are practice Modern Orthodox Jewish religion. Thus, apart from receiving Jewish education, Arabella Rose Kushner is also being raised in the Jewish religion.
4. She is Fluent in Mandarin
She started learning Mandarin at the age of 3 as a second language at the New York-based Carousel of Languages School. At age 7, Arabella is already fluent in Mandarin. It was reported that, initially, she did not show interest in the language. However, over time, she got interested in it and has attained a laudable level of proficiency.
Ivanka Trump’s daughter can sing kiddie songs, recite poetry and a lot more in Mandarin. Severally, her mother has uploaded videos of her singing or reciting or speaking in Mandarin to the delight of the global Chinese community who have been expressing the hope that, through the lass, the relations between China and the US is going to grow more amicable. In 2017, for example, her mom posted the video below of her singing a Mandarin song while playing with a traditional Chinese doll during the celebration of the Chinese lunar New Year.
Before this, she sung a Mandarin song at a China-US Summit. Thus, she is gradually being perceived as building a bond between China and the USA which, on the contrary, her grandfather is perceived as not being committed enough to.
Arabella is yet another case in a growing list of prominent people who are taking up Mandarin as a second language. In fact, Malia, daughter to the immediate past president of the US — Barrack Obama also has Mandarin as her second language. So also is Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook Inc. and a host of others.

Again and again, her mother has posted photos of her piano practice sessions on social media which received lots of positive comments.
