Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump has long maintained a quieter public profile than her siblings, even as the president enters his second term and elevates family members into prominent political and diplomatic roles. Her recent appearance at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, where Trump publicly praised her academic record, renewed attention on what supporters and critics alike have called the family's "forgotten daughter."
Tiffany, now 32, is the only child from Trump's marriage to Marla Maples. Born in West Palm Beach and named after Tiffany & Co., she shares the educational pedigree associated with the Trump family, having graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 and later receiving her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 2020. Little is publicly known about whether she pursued a legal career after graduation, a silence consistent with her decision to avoid the spotlight.
Her early years unfolded far from the media scrutiny that surrounded Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. After her parents' separation, Tiffany moved with her mother to California, a decision Maples later described as pivotal. In an interview with PEOPLE, Maples said she felt compelled to prioritise one-on-one parenting and create a childhood shaped by stability rather than publicity.
"He loves his children, absolutely, but he couldn't be there for the everyday things. It was mostly me," she told the magazine. Tiffany echoed that sentiment, crediting her mother for raising her outside the pressures of public life. "She moved us out of New York to take me out of the spotlight so I could grow up and find my own identity... And I think she did a great job," Tiffany said.
While pursuing her studies, Tiffany briefly entered public culture through social media circles labelled the "Snap Pack" or the "Rich Kids of Instagram." She released a pop single, "Like a Bird," in 2011 and completed internships at Warby Parker and Vogue. Her most visible role came in 2016, when she delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention.
Her personal life later shifted the spotlight. Tiffany met business executive Michael Boulos in 2018 while in Mykonos. Boulos, whose family runs a multibillion-dollar conglomerate in West Africa, proposed in the White House Rose Garden in 2021 with a 13-carat ring. The couple married in 2022 at Mar-a-Lago, where she wore a custom Elie Saab gown honouring his Lebanese heritage. They now live in Miami and welcomed their first child, Alexander Trump Boulos, in May 2025.
Her father's comments at the November 19 investment forum briefly pushed her back into national conversation. Trump praised her academic record, saying: "My daughter Tiffany is here with her great husband Michael, thank you very much, Tiffany, thank you, honey." He continued: "She was a great student. She went to Georgetown. She was a great, great student, and she finished really right at the top, and we were proud of you."
He added a claim that her graduation was unfairly treated during the pandemic. "Her graduation got canceled because of Covid, but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn't have canceled it... They didn't like that she did so well at school."
