At just 17, Kai Trump is beginning to define her own identity—one that extends well beyond her famous last name. As the eldest granddaughter of Donald Trump, she has grown up in the public eye, yet she’s only recently started to step forward with her own voice and ambitions. Born on May 12, 2007, in New York City to Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, Kai was named after her maternal grandfather, jazz musician Kai Ewans. Her early years were largely private, shaped by close family ties and a strong connection with her grandparents. She also spent time with relatives like Barron Trump, who is close to her in age.
