Quincy Jones once claimed he dated Ivanka Trump in an explosive interview in which he described her as having “the most beautiful legs” but “the wrong father.”
The music titan, who died Sunday night at age 91, told New York magazine’s David Marchese in 2018 that he went on a date with the former First Daughter in 2006, when Ivanka was 25 and Jones was 73. .
In the shocking argument, he called Trump a ‘crazy f******’ and a ‘megalomaniacal narcissist’ and revealed: ‘I used to date Ivanka, you know.’
Marchese was impressed by the information and pressed Jones for more details, where he explained that at the time Tommy Hilfiger had been working with his daughter Kidada, a former model, who told him that Ivanka wanted to have dinner with him.
“I said, ‘No problem,'” Jones told the publication. “She’s a good motherfucker.” She had the most beautiful legs I’ve ever seen. But the wrong father.
American music titan Quincy Jones claimed in 2018 that he had dated Ivanka Trump in 2006, when she was only 25 years old and he was 73. He died at the age of 91 on Sunday night.
Ivanka Trump never confirmed or denied Jones’ claims, but she allegedly told her daughter she wanted to have dinner with the music legend. Pictured: Ivanka Trump is seen at Funke for Kim Kardashian’s birthday party on October 20, 2023 in Los Angeles.

Ivanka never confirmed or denied the claims and, at the time of the explosive interview, she was a White House adviser, as her father, Donald Trump, was the president of the United States.
Ivanka, now 43, is married to her father’s former top adviser, Jared Kushner, after the couple met in 2007, before marrying in 2009.
The couple has since welcomed three children: Arabella, Joseph and Theodore.
Ivanka’s claims came after Jones’ interview with GQ in January 2018, where he revealed he had 22 girlfriends from Cape Town to Stockholm, adding that his daughters regularly asked him not to date women younger than them.
He told the magazine: ‘I have 22 girlfriends… Of course I do. Everywhere. Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm… coming next week. Brazil: Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and Rio. Shanghai, I got a cool girl there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, wow.
Jones further revealed that he kept things honest with his numerous associates about his womanizing ways: ‘Yeah, I don’t lie. And it’s amazing: women get it, man. Never forget that they are 13 years smarter than us. Never forget it.
While the Off the Wall record producer preferred to date younger women, he admitted there were some age restrictions.
He said, ‘Well, my daughters gave me new numbers because they kept saying, “Dad, you can’t date girls younger than us.” I said, “You’re not young anymore…” So the new numbers are 28 to 42. They gave them to me.”
Jones was married three times in his life, first to his high school sweetheart Jeri Caldwell, for nine years until 1966, and fathered their daughter Jolie.
In 1967, he married Ulla Andersson and had a son and daughter before divorcing in 1974 to marry actress Peggy Lipton.
They had two daughters, including actress Rashida Jones, before divorcing in 1989.
He had two more children: Rachel, with the dancer Carol Reynolds, and Kenya, his daughter with the actor Nastassja Kinski.
Jones never remarried after Lipton, but continued dating a series of younger women, surprising the public with his year-long partnership with 19-year-old Egyptian designer Heba Elawadi when he was 73.
Ivanka is now married to Jared Kushner and has three children with him. Pictured: Ivanka, Jared Kushner and their children arrive at a farewell ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Jan. 20, 2021.
Jones’ second wife was Ulla Andersson, a Swedish model and actress, with whom he shared a son and daughter.
His third and last wife was Peggy Lipton, with whom he shared two daughters, including actress Rashida Jones.

The legendary music executive, who produced Michael Jackson’s Thriller album and collaborated with artists including Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, died Sunday night surrounded by his family at his home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. No cause of death was given.
His daughter Rashida, who played Karen Filippelli on The Office, said in a statement: “Tonight, with a full but broken heart, we must share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones.”
“And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
Jones rose to the top of show business by becoming one of the first black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amassing an extraordinary musical catalog.
He toured with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, arranged records for Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, and composed soundtracks for Roots and In The Heat Of The Night.
Jones organized then-President Bill Clinton’s first inaugural celebration and oversaw the all-star recording of We Are The World in 1985 for famine relief in Africa.
Lionel Richie, co-writer of We Are the World and one of the featured singers on the benefit album, would call Jones “the master orchestrator.”
He will probably be best remembered for his productions with Jackson, and his versatility and imagination helped highlight the singer’s talents as he transformed from child star to ‘King of Pop’.
