Eagles star calls Ivanka Trump “beautiful,” and she responds with a special locker room message

What began as a casual, candid compliment online quickly blossomed into a charming and unexpected exchange between Ivanka Trump and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks. The viral buzz around Ricks’ admiration for the first daughter took an amusing and classy turn when Ivanka responded in person—well, almost.During a visit to the Eagles’ training facility with her children, Ivanka left behind a handwritten note for Ricks inside the team’s locker room. “Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!” she penned sweetly. The message was later shared on her official X account as a nod to Ricks’ now-famous post from April 28, when he openly admired her during the Eagles' celebratory trip to the White House following their Super Bowl appearance.Ricks’ original post had sparked a tidal wave of attention online. “Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn,” he had written. “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.” The statement, raw and spontaneous, made headlines across both sports and entertainment circles. He even reposted several photos of Ivanka along with a selfie of himself sitting near a portrait depicting the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.Rather than shy away from the attention, Ivanka leaned into the moment with warmth and wit, showing she’s no stranger to handling public spotlight with poise. Her surprise note didn’t go unnoticed—Ricks responded with a playful repost on X, saying, “My apologies, I owe you a glass of wine now xx!” A lighthearted remark that only added to the fun narrative unfolding between the high-profile businesswoman and the young NFL star.Ivanka, who has been married to Jared Kushner since 2009 and is a mother to three, also shared adorable clips and photos from the visit, including her son Theodore tossing a football around the Eagles’ practice field with his flag football team. The visit was personal and joyful, yet it effortlessly stirred a media moment thanks to the earlier connection with Ricks.Ricks, a California native who played college ball at LSU and Alabama, signed with the Eagles in 2023 as an undrafted free agent. Though he primarily saw action on special teams in his rookie season, his online candor has unexpectedly added a spark of off-field popularity.Also Read: "We talking more about Jordon Hudson": Cam Newton blames Bill Belichick’s downfall on alleged distraction from Jordon Hudson romance
