Ivanka Trump was left so flattered by Eli Ricks’ admiration she left a note for the Philadelphia Eagles star when she couldn’t find him.
Eli Ricks previously turned heads when he visited the White House with the Philadelphia Eagles after their Super Bowl win, taking to social media to call Ivanka “beautiful” and “his type.”
Despite the cornerback’s forward comments, Ivanka – who recently responded to Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods’ relationship – wasn’t ruffled and instead aimed for a personal rendezvous with Eli on Friday, dropping by the Eagles’ training spot with her son Theo in tow. Instagram Stories lit up with snaps of Ivanka and Theo, as they struck poses with the team’s Super Bowl bling after beating the Kansasi City Chiefs. Little Theo even got his shot at tossing the pigskin around on the Eagles’ hallowed turf.

The First Daughter even sneaked into the Eagles locker room for a quick pic. The intimate quarters were chock-full of uniforms and caps, along with shelves piled with toiletries and assorted kit.
Ivanka left behind a personal touch – a note perched on Eli’s bench that read, “Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds! Ivanka.” Eli was among the Philadelphia Eagles who made the trip to the White House this past month, celebrating the Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Notable absentees included stars such as quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, who cited “scheduling conflicts.”
The football player flaunted a photo on his Instagram Story showcasing his White House escapades, where he’s seen replicating Donald Trump’s iconic fist raise. The backdrop features an image of the former President following an assassination bid during his 2024 reelection run.

Following that, Eli turned to social media platform X, known in previous times as Twitter, sharing, “Donald Trump daughter is beautiful damn.”
Not stopping there, he confessed, “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”
Alas for Eli, Ivanka has been blissfully wedded to entrepreneur Jared Kushner since 2009, following their first encounter in 2005. The pair are doting parents to Arabella (13), Joseph (10), and Theo (8).
