US President-elect Donald Trump’s family has returned to White House and members now have a slightly different look than what they were eight years ago.
Trump has five children, three of whom are married, from his marriages to Ivana Trump, Marla Maples and current wife Melania Trump. He has 10 grandchildren with an 11th on the way.
His youngest son Barron, who was in fifth grade back then is now a college freshman, while his granddaughter Kai, who was 9 in 2017 is now an aspiring social media influencer and a golfer, according to an AP report.
Trump’s grandson Joseph, who posed in his grandfather’s lap with a Lego model of the White House is now 11 years old.

Melania Trump: The President-elect’s wife avoided an active campaign in Trump’s 2024 run and limited her public appearances to key moments such as the campaign’s launch, the Republican National Convention, and election night. While some doubted whether she would spend much time at the White House, she told Fox News that she has already picked out the furniture she wants to take to the executive mansion.
Donald Trump Jr: The President-elect’s 46-year-old son has since Trump’s first term risen to a point of influence where he lobbied his father to choose close friend JD Vance for vice president. He helps run the family real estate business and is an honorary chairman of Trump’s transition.
Ivanka Trump: Donald Trump’s 43-year-old daughter was actively working for her father’s campaign and later in the White House as senior adviser during her father’s first term. In 2020 too, she was on the campaign trail but moved to Florida with her family after the loss. In 2024, she said she was getting out of politics to focus on her husband and their three children. While she joined her father on the election night, she told “The Skinny Confidential” podcast that this time she just wanted to “show up for him as a daughter” and be there to watch a movie or a sports game.
