The Trump family made a splash at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, as three of President Donald Trump’s grandchildren enjoyed exclusive backstage access and courtside seats at the Chase Center. Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, brought their children—Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theo, 8—to witness the star-studded event firsthand.
The annual exhibition, known for its over-the-top entertainment and celebrity presence, took an exciting turn with the introduction of a new format featuring two teams: Shaquille O’Neal’s “OGs” versus Charles Barkley’s “Global Stars.” While the game itself was a spectacle, it was the Trump children’s interactions behind the scenes that captured attention.
Ivanka shared candid moments on social media, including a backstage encounter with NBA MVP Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets. In one particularly humorous clip, the Serbian star playfully grabbed young Theo’s head and turned him toward the camera. “Thank you, Jokić, for getting my son Theo to listen,” Ivanka joked in her Instagram story.
The family’s presence at the event wasn’t just about basketball. The Trump name continues to hold significant cultural weight, with Ivanka and her children drawing as much attention as some of the league’s top athletes. The children also posed for a selfie with YouTube sensation MrBeast, underscoring the unique blend of sports and digital celebrity culture that defines the modern NBA experience.
Courtside, the Trump family was all smiles, soaking in the game alongside A-list attendees. Arabella, already a rising social media personality, shared her own perspective from the event, posting, “Epic night at the All-Star Game!” on her growing online platform.
As Ivanka posted a carousel of images captioned “NBA All-Star 2025 🏀,” the response was swift, with thousands of likes and comments from supporters who appreciated seeing the next generation of Trumps engaging with the American sports scene.
The moment served as a reminder of the family’s enduring presence in public life, even as Ivanka and Jared maintain a lower political profile post-White House. While former President Trump himself was not in attendance, his family’s participation proved that the Trump legacy continues to resonate across industries—including professional sports.

I believe that President Trump is the “current President”, not the “former President”- unless you are referring to his past Presidency? Perhaps you are as confused as I am by your caption.
