Chelsea Clinton and
Ivanka Trump have long been friends, even as their respective parents Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battled it out in the 2016 presidential campaign. After Donald was elected President, in a 2017 interview with
20/20 Ivanka called Chelsea a "very good friend." The new first daughter then went on to say: “I haven’t spoken about the specific challenges about this next chapter with her just yet but I intend to.”
As we await their reunion – Chelsea revealed in 2018 they hadn't spoken in "a long time" – we're taking a look at the parallel lives of a former and current first daughter, from childhood throwback pics to their gorgeous weddings. Scroll through for all the photos!
Growing up in the spotlight
Being a public figure was a fact of life for the two girls growing up. Moving into the White House thanks to her dad, Arkansas governor-turned-President Bill Clinton when she was just 13, Chelsea – who Bill and Hillary welcomed in Arkansas in 1980 – had her every move documented by the press. Meanwhile young heiress Ivanka, born in Manhattan in 1981, was often photographed at high society events with dad Donald and mom Ivana.
