Friendships are often nurtured by shared experiences and common interests.

That may be the case for former BFFs Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton.

Despite not being seen together often, the two ladies once shared great friendship in private.

She basically grew up at the White House and trained behind her father, President Bill Clinton.

She also taught them that “bravery and kindness are the most important traits.”

In anInstagrampost to celebrate Mother’s Day, Trump remembered her mom while also cherishing her own motherhood.

Similarly, Clinton has also authored several books.

On the other hand, Clinton earned a degree from Stanford University and attended Oxford University for her doctorate.

Both these women have thrived in their chosen fields.

Trump served as the executive vice president of Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization.

Through the years, the public has seen both women support their parents' political ventures.

Trump introduced her father during the Republican National Convention at the White House in 2020.

Trump explained that she will be diverting her focus in her personal life and in prioritizing her young children.

She was also openly campaigning for her mother in different cities of the country.

She also had to endure being in the spotlight while going through her parents' divorce in 1992.

Both of these young women had to be careful with their behavior as the world closely watched over them.

With all these similarities, it’s a shame that politics got between them.

She further revealed that the last time she spoke to Trump was in November 2016.

This probably explains why Trump and Clinton are no longer seen together or considered good friends or acquaintances.
