Prior to marrying her husband, Jared Kushner, the designer dated cyclist Lance Armstrong and actor Topher Grace briefly in 2006. Ivanka met her hubby in 2007 and converted to Judaism before their 2009 wedding.

“We’re pretty observant, more than some, less than others. I just feel like it’s such an intimate thing for us,” she told Vogue in 2015 of her new religion. “It’s been such a great life decision for me. I am very modern, but I’m also a very traditional person, and I think that’s an interesting juxtaposition in how I was raised as well. I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity.”
