The reasons behind Ivanka Trump’s decision to walk away from her political life, and Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, seem really obvious from the outside. However, her distance from her father’s very controversial life might have more to do with a life-changing event that happened to her last summer.

In July 2022, her mother, Ivana Trump, tragically passed away after a fall down the stairs in her $26.5 million Manhattan townhouse. Her unexpected passing reportedly rocked Ivanka’s world and created a seismic shift in her personal life. A close friend told the New York Post in 2022 how Ivanka was feeling four months after Ivana’s death. “I think losing a parent definitely leads to a real awakening, that means different things for different people,” they revealed. “For Ivanka, it underscored how fleeting time is.”

The mother of three wanted to take those life lessons she learned from her mother and apply them in the present, not in the future. “But with all the sadness that came from that time, the constant refrain in every story that she heard about her mother … was that she really lived: in work, personally and professionally; (and like Ivanka) she also left it all on the field,” the insider added. “She was not waiting to have fun at a later date! She was definitely one of a kind and a true force of nature.”

And despite rumors that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, are making a return to Donald Trump’s inner political circle, a second source believes that ship has sailed. “Ivanka and Jared … were really specific they would not be coming back,” they noted. Instead, Ivanka continues to focus on her young family and is leaving the political life to her dad.
