A dozen Philadelphia Eagles players chose not to visit with President Trump on Monday in honor of their Super Bowl win. Elias Ricks was not one of them.

If you missed the tea, keep reading to get the ingredients,chile!
As mentioned, the 23-year-old wasted no time expressing his thoughts about Trump’s daughter. Despite their 20-year age gap, Elias Ricks made it clear he liked what he saw after meeting Ivanka Trump in person. On X, he spoke about her being his “type.”
“Donald Trump daughter is beautiful damn,” Ricks wrote in one post. A separate one said, “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”
Afterward, Elias Ricks retweeted four photos of Ivanka at the Eagles’ White House event. She wore a powder blue suit to the event and straightened her blonde hair. It’s unclear if Ivanka and the cornerback exchanged words at the event. Meanwhile, in The Shade Room’s comment section, the roommates didn’t hold their tongues with reactions!
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.
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.
“Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,” Tiger Woods wrote.
