Eagles Player Stands By His Teammate
Ivanka Trump hasn’t publicly returned Elias Ricks’ energy, likely because she’s married! She and Jared Kushner tied the knot in 2009 and have three kids together. In fact, Ivanka brought at least two of her children with her to the White House event for the Eagles, per Getty Images. So, while Elias’ shoot was bold, it’s giving “never happening.”
It’s the second time this week a Philadelphia Eagles player has gagged social media. Elias Ricks’ teammate, Saquon Barkley, clapped back at anyone trolling his hang-time with President Trump before the team visit. Folks were sounding off about Barkley enjoying a golfing session with Donnie and riding on the presidential plane. Like Ricks about Ivanka, Barkley ultimately stood by the opportunity, citing his respect for the highest office in the land. On X, Elias supported Saquon’s stance by retweeting his statement.
Oh, but if you’re wondering, the answer is no — Jalen Hurts was not present at Monday’s White House visit. According to PEOPLE, the other Eagles players who weren’t present are:
A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Brandon Graham, Nolan Smith, Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean, CJ Gardner Johnson, Darius Slay, and Quinyon Mitchell.
THIS Celeb Is Dating A Member Of Trump’s Family
Elias Ricks isn’t the only one with eyes for women affiliated with the Trump family! In March, Tiger Woods confirmed he’s dating Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife. He made their relationship Insta-official with two photos, one of him and Vanessa posing for the camera and the other lying on a hammock. His caption bragged about love being “in the air” but also requested privacy for their romance. As of Friday (May 2), the post was still available on his page with over 11,000 comments.
