“He’s getting a good grasp of harmony, by ear. Keep at it, young man,” one user praised. Another wrote, “Such a heartwarming moment! Theo’s debut at The White House is pure magic – Grandpa must be so proud!”

One X user reflected on their own childhood, writing, “That’s beautiful! This takes me many years back… I began playing piano by ear at the age of four. It’s wonderful that this boy has the talent he has, and I hope it holds his attention long enough that he loves and develops it for the rest of his life!”

“BRAVO! Well done! Piano isn’t easy… it takes a lot of practice… his flow was good, his pace, his timing… GREAT JOB!” another user commented.

During Donald Trump‘s first term as president, Ivanka held a prominent role as a senior White House adviser. However, for his second term, she’s made the conscious decision to step away from politics to focus on her family.

“I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritise my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she explained in 2022, addressing speculation about her involvement in her father’s campaign.

Ivanka entered motherhood in July 2011 with the birth of her first child, Arabella Rose Kushner. Arabella briefly stepped into the spotlight herself in 2016 when, at just five years old, a video of her reciting a Mandarin poem captured widespread attention online.

Two years later, in October 2013, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner welcomed their second child, a son named Joseph Frederick Kushner, a name she later explained had special meaning to the family.

Their youngest, Theodore James Kushner, affectionately called Theo, is the third child in the family.
