Karlie Kloss Sets the Record Straight on Her Trump Family Connection

When you marry into one of America’s most politically polarizing families, the questions don’t stop coming. Karlie Kloss has heard them all, and in a recent interview with Bloomberg Originals, she finally addressed the elephant in the room: her connection to the Trump family through her marriage to Joshua Kushner.

Let’s be clear about what we’re talking about here. Joshua is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, who served as a senior advisor to President Donald Trump and is now the Special Envoy for Peace in Trump’s second administration. Jared has been married to Donald’s daughter Ivanka Trump since 2009. So yes, Kloss’s family tree is genuinely tangled with one of the most prominent political dynasties in modern America. But here’s where it gets interesting: the 33-year-old supermodel was direct about something that likely surprises people making assumptions based on her in-laws’political alignment.“I have never met President Trump,”she stated plainly.

What Kloss did share, though, is something more nuanced than a simple political disagreement. She’s a Democrat, full stop. She doesn’t align politically with her in-laws’family. But rather than shy away from that reality, she framed it as part of a larger philosophy about American dialogue.“I think it’s possible to have relationships with people who you politically don’t align with,”she reflected.“And I think this country has always been a place for dialogue. We have to be able to talk to each other.”It’s a reasonable stance, and it suggests that the Kushner-Kloss household operates on the principle that love and respect can coexist with fundamental political disagreement—even when that disagreement is as significant as the divide between a Democrat and the Trump inner circle.

Kloss also opened up about another major life decision tied to her marriage: converting to Judaism.“I fell in love with somebody whose faith was a huge part of who he is,”she explained.“And I knew that from the start and choosing that I wanted that in my life. I’m really proud of that choice.”For a couple that’s been together since she was 19, such integration of faith and identity speaks to a partnership built on genuine commitment rather than surface-level compatibility.

Since marrying Joshua in 2018, Kloss has welcomed three children: sons Levi, 5, and Elijah, 3, and daughter Rae, who is 9 months old. In previous interviews, she’s described Joshua as her biggest champion through motherhood and beyond, a partner who reminds her not to lose herself in the chaos of raising a young family. That foundation—meeting young, growing together, supporting each other through major life shifts—seems to be what holds them steady even when the outside world makes assumptions about who they should be or what they should believe. It’s a reminder that behind the headlines and political family trees, there are real people navigating real relationships with genuine intention.
