From major corporations to reality television, the Trump family name has been around long before the 45th President of the United States first moved to the White House.
Now, following the results of the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump will return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in the new year, this time as the 47th POTUS. Before he does, here’s a refresher on some of the people who share that famous last name.
Learn about the president-elect’s relationships — from his late parents to his wife and former partners, and the children he shares with them — in this Trump family tree.
Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod, parents
Donald Trump’s father, Frederick Christ Trump Sr., was born in New York City in 1905, according to The New York Times. As for his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, born in 1912, she was a Scottish immigrant who came to America in her late teens, the Times reported. She married Trump Sr., a successful entrepreneur and real estate developer, in 1936, six years before she became naturalized, according to The New Yorker.
The president-elect, born on June 14, 1946, is one of five children the couple had during their 63-year marriage. They were also parents to daughters Maryanne Trump Barry and Elizabeth Trump Grau, as well as sons Fred Trump Jr. and Robert Trump. Grau is the only surviving sibling of Donald Trump.
The patriarch of the Trump family died in 1999 at the age of 93. His wife died the following year at the age of 88.
Ivana Trump, ex-wife
The first time the thrice-married former and future president walked down the aisle was next to Ivana Trump (née Zelníčková). The Czechoslovakian-born model and socialite, who later became an integral part of the Trump Organization, married the businessman in 1977. It was her second of four marriages over the course of her life, according to NBC News.
The couple divorced in the early 1990s after welcoming three children together: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.
Ivana Trump died in 2022 at the age of 73.
Marla Maples, ex-wife
Model and actor Marla Maples was the second woman to marry Donald Trump. Maples, born in 1963, and the former “Apprentice” star said their “I do” in 1993 during a lavish and star-studded ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the Times reported.
Two months before the wedding, they welcomed their only child together, daughter Tiffany Trump.
Maples and Trump separated in 1997, and in August of that year, Trump announced in a statement that they were divorcing, The Associated Press reported, according to the Times.
Melania Trump, wife
According to Harper’s Bazaar, Trump met the woman who would become wife No. 3, Melania Trump (née Knauss), in November 1998 at a Fashion Week party.
She was born in Slovenia in 1970 and, like both of his previous wives, worked as a model before their marriage. But unlike the others, Melania Trump’s marriage to Donald Trump, which started in 2005, has lasted. And when he began his first term as POTUS in 2017, she became first lady of the United States.
The two share one child together, son Barron Trump.
Donald Trump Jr., son
Donald John Trump Jr., born on December 31, 1977, is the eldest of three children the president-elect shared with his first wife, Ivana Trump.
Don Jr., as he is often called, serves as an executive at the Trump Organization. He has also campaigned for his father.
Trump Jr. is engaged to former prosecutor and former Fox News host Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle, who also once worked for Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.
He first married Vanessa Haydon in 2005, and Haydon began legal action to end the marriage in 2018, NBC New York reported. Together they have five children: daughters Kai and Chloe, and sons Donald, Tristan and Spencer.
Ivanka Trump, daughter
Ivana Marie Trump, better known as Ivanka Trump, was born on October 30, 1981 and is the second child and only daughter from her father’s first marriage.
The entrepreneur, who once worked as an executive at the Trump Organization, also worked with her father as an advisor in 2017 when he was president.
Since 2009, she has been married to Jared Kushner, who also served as a senior adviser during President Donald Trump’s first term. The couple has three children: daughter Arabella and sons Joseph and Theodore.
Eric Trump, son
Eric Frederick Trump, born on January 6, 1984, is the youngest of the three children of Donald and Ivana Trump.
While both of his older siblings graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Eric Trump attended Georgetown University. Like his big brother, he currently heads the Trump Organization and works as an executive.
He and his wife, Lara Trump, who married in 2014, are parents of two children: son Eric, whom they call by his middle name: Luke, and daughter Carolina.
Tiffany Trump, daughter
Shortly before marrying Maples, Donald Trump and his now ex-wife welcomed daughter Tiffany Ariana Trump on October 13, 1993.
The president-elect’s youngest daughter attended both the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown University Law Center, and after graduating she campaigned for her father ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
In 2022, she married businessman Michael Boulos at her father’s Palm Beach home and resort, Mar-a-Lago. On October 10, 2024, Donald Trump announced that the couple was expecting their first child.
Barron Trump, son
Born on March 20, 2006, to Donald and Melania Trump, Barron William Trump has a distinction that his half-siblings lack: He is the only one of Trump’s children to actually call the White House home.
His distinction goes even further than that, as Barron Trump was also the first boy to live in the White House in over fifty years when he moved there in 2017.
