While it’s common to see Donald’s other kids Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr on your TV screen or splashed across the pages of international newspapers, Tiffany has kept a seemingly lower profile than her famous half-siblings.

But the Georgetown Law alum hasn’t been completely anonymous. In March 2019, she drew criticism for taking a trip to Serbia that cost taxpayers at least US$23,000.

Here’s a look at the life of the former president and Marla Maples’ most elusive adult child …

She was born in Florida

Tiffany Ariana Trump was born on October 13, 1993, in West Palm Beach, Florida. New parents Marla Maples and Donald Trump greeted the press with their newborn daughter as they left St Mary’s Hospital.

She was the first and only child of Donald and his second wife, actress and model Maples.

She was raised in the Big Apple

Tiffany, now 29, spent much of her early childhood in New York and Florida, where most of her father’s real estate empire was based. She was a regular fixture in high society circles as she accompanied her famous parents to glamorous events, like New York Fashion Week.

The heiress was often pictured alongside Donald’s three children from his previous marriage to Ivana Trump: Eric, Donald Jr and Ivanka. In adulthood, she has kept a lower profile than her siblings.

For her fifth birthday, she took over part of the Trump Mar-a-Lago resort for a Titanic-themed party.

Maples raised Tiffany as a single mum in LA after her divorce from Donald

While living with her mother in California, Tiffany attended the Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California. The kindergarten-through-12th-grade school charges upwards of US$36,000 for yearly tuition.

Though she was based in Los Angeles, Tiffany regularly visited New York to see her father. At age seven, she was photographed at a Mets game with Donald and his then-girlfriend Knauss.

By her father’s side

As Tiffany became a teenager, she made more public appearances, usually alongside her father. She attended an event introducing Trump Tower Dubai in Los Angeles in 2008.

In 2011, Tiffany released a pop-electronic single called “Like a Bird”.

She told Oprah Winfrey at the time though that she was focused on university, saying, “We’ll see in a couple of years if I actually do want to take it to the next level, to a professional level.”

After graduating high school in 2012, she made the move back to the East Coast to attend her father’s alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania.

Sisterly support – and becoming a New York socialite

Her older half-sister Ivanka, who had years of success with her own fashion label, helped Tiffany score an internship at Vogue in the summer of 2011. While interning at Vogue, Tiffany reportedly had lunch with legendary editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Tiffany gradually became a socialite in her own right after appearing at fashion and art events around New York City.

She attended Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in 2014, in New York City.

Tiffany was considered part of a group of wealthy young socialites called the “Rich Kids of Instagram”. She was often pictured alongside Andrew Warren (son of a New York real estate investor), Gaia Matisse (great-great-granddaughter of Henri Matisse) and EJ Johnson (son of Magic Johnson).

Though she was still a university student, Tiffany was noticeably on-hand for some early appearances ahead of Donald’s presidential bid. She sat down for a 2015 interview with Barbara Walters along with Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr.

Her growing presence

The then future first daughter’s profile was also rising on social media, where she posted images of glamorous holidays and scenes from her life on campus. At the time, she had around 150,000 followers. She now has more than 1.3 million followers.

Tiffany also made a splash with an unexpected speech at the July 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. She painted a glowing picture of her father, saying, “He’s always helped me be the best version of myself.”

She supported dad’s presidential campaign …

As the campaign waged on, Tiffany was often present for big family appearances after her May 2016 graduation. However, Donald Jr and Ivanka emerged as the siblings with the biggest formal roles on Team Trump.

An October 2016 Saturday Night Live sketch poked fun at Tiffany’s less formalised role in the campaign with SNL cast member Vanessa Bayer playing Tiffany, singing that she “killed that convention speech, no lie, but I’ll never be Ivanka in your eye”.

Tiffany began a new venture after the election, starting law school at Georgetown University in the autumn of 2017. She had also been spotted visiting Columbia, Harvard and New York University.

… And kept up with the socialite life

She attended New York Fashion Week in her first few weeks of classes in September 2017. She also joined her siblings at official appearances and attended the White House Christmas Tree lighting ceremony with Donald Jr, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump in 2018.

Under the media’s microscope

Her close proximity to her father’s administration in the public eye has sometimes put some of her suspected political beliefs under a microscope. After then President Trump’s administration didn’t acknowledge Pride Month for the second year in a row, some were surprised when Tiffany was pictured with her friend, fashion designer Andrew Warren, celebrating pride in New York City in June 2018.

Tiffany also turned heads when she wore white to the 2019 State of the Union, a statement colour that’s connected to women’s suffrage.

Many lawmakers wore white after Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, the chairwoman of the House Democratic Women’s Working Group, invited attendees to wear white in honour of the women’s suffrage movement.

Her love life

Tiffany’s romantic relationship with Boulos, the son of the owners of a multibillion-dollar conglomerate based in Nigeria, has also attracted interest. Former President Trump reportedly stated that parts of Africa were “s***hole countries” in 2018.

Tiffany’s social life also came under scrutiny following reports that a March 2019 trip she took to Belgrade, Serbia, for 10 days cost taxpayers US$23,000. It piled on to the controversy around her father’s many pricey trips to Florida.

Donald didn’t publicly acknowledge her birthday in 2019

Some noticed that though the president publicly wished the US Navy a happy birthday, he didn’t acknowledge Tiffany on her birthday in 2019. Sister Ivanka and sister-in-law Lara did post Instagram birthday tributes though.

She got engaged at the White House

The couple is set to wed on Saturday, November 12, at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, where more than 500 guests are expected to attend.

While some may joke that Tiffany is the forgotten Trump, she has built her own star power over the years. And at 29, she has years to make a name for herself.
