Ivanka and Jared’s time in Venice wasn’t just about attending one of the year’s most extravagant weddings—it also offered a rare glimpse into their private family life. Observers noted the ease with which they navigated the narrow streets, blending high society elegance with down-to-earth parenting. Locals and tourists alike were seen snapping photos from afar as the family paused at a gelato stand along the Grand Canal. Ivanka chatted in basic Italian while her children picked flavors. “She was very polite, very normal,” said a passerby, adding that the children were “surprisingly well-mannered and quiet.”
