Ivanka Trump dismissed rumors of an imminent return to politics by taking a glamorous trip to Mexico with her husband Jared Kushner to celebrate a friend’s wedding.
Friends tell DailyMail.com that the former first daughter is focusing on her private life and not on “made-up” gossip.
‘They went on a planned long weekend to celebrate a friend’s wedding, away from the fabricated gossip circulating about an imminent return to politics in DC. ‘
“The couple remains focused on their family and private life,” friends close to the couple said.

Ivanka, who served as her father’s senior adviser in the White House, made it clear that she was out of politics when Donald Trump announced he would run for president again.
“I love my father very much,” he said at the time. “This time, I choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. “I don’t plan to get involved in politics.”
That remains his stance despite a report in Puck News that he “did not rule out having some kind of role” in his father’s campaign.
Instead, her focus is on her family (she and Jared have three children), her life in Miami, and her friends.
She posts regular updates about her life on Instagram, including photos from this weekend.
Ivanka, looking stunning in a red Cristallini dress, and Jared, in a tuxedo, were in Valle de Bravo, a town on Lake Avándaro, west of Mexico City, for a friend’s wedding.
“Celebrating the love and magic of Mexico,” he wrote in his social media post on Sunday.
Ivanka Trump, with President Donald Trump (above) in the Oval Office in April 2017, has no plans to return to politics.
Ivanka and Jared are raising their three children, Arabella, Theodore and Joseph, in Miami.
Both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump served as advisors to Donald Trump during his presidency; Above you can see them celebrating Christmas at the White House.
The couple has worked to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and Trump’s general orbit.
They moved to Florida with their children Arabella, 12, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 8, after Donald Trump left office in January 2021.
And Ivanka was not at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022 when Donald Trump announced he would seek another term in the White House.
It was a change of pace for the former first daughter, who was heavily involved in Trump’s first term in the White House. She had an office in the West Wing and frequently represented the administration both at home and abroad.
However, lately the couple has focused on their lives in the private sector.
Kushner, who was at Donald Trump’s re-election announcement, launched his Miami-based investment firm, Affinity Partners.
He has made no attempt to return to politics since his appearance at Mar-a-Lago with his father-in-law. She also has not commented on reports that he could serve as secretary of state in a second Trump term.
He attended an interview with the New York Times about his investment strategy and his work in the private sector.
In fact, a second term for Donald Trump could be a headache for his business, raising all sorts of conflict of interest issues that the family had to deal with when Trump first became president and had to distance himself from his Trump Organization.
Meanwhile, Ivanka has been seen going to school with her children, attending her sporting events, and doing charity work.
One area the couple has continued to be involved in is the Middle East. During the Trump administration, Jared, who served as a senior advisor to the president, helped draft the Abraham Accords, where the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain established diplomatic relations with Israel.
Ivanka converted to Judaism before marrying Jared, a practicing Jew, in 2009. They are raising their children in the Jewish faith.
In December, the couple toured a kibbutz in Israel that was devastated by Hamas conflict. During their trip, they heard from local residents who had lived in the community before it was devastated by the Hamas attack in October.

Ivanka has also helped pack supplies for civilians displaced by the conflict. She remains active in the charity CityServe, which provides meals to displaced people.
Ivanka has worked with the group for over four years, helping them serve food to those in need during COVID and sending supplies to refugees in Ukraine.
However, he has not been able to completely separate himself from his father.
In November, he testified at Donald Trump’s $250 million civil fraud trial in New York. Prosecutors questioned her about her role in obtaining loans for the Trump Organization.
Ivanka was not part of the New York state lawsuit, where a judge ruled against her family, banning her father from doing any business in New York for three years and her two older brothers, Don Jr. and Eric, for two. years.
And he testified in House Democrats’ investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, where he revealed his belief that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
