Tiffany Trumpspent much of her life outside of the spotlight — but that all changed when her fatherDonald Trumpbegan his first presidential campaign.

Throughout her lowkey childhood, Tiffany says she was able to cultivate “amazing” friendships and stayed grounded thanks to her mother’s “good values.” She played volleyball and basketball and developed a passion for art. She kept in touch with Donald and occasionally saw him on school breaks, later sharing thathe was a funny and loving fatherwho often reminded her to “do good in school.”

While there have been rumors ofa strain in her relationship with Donald, Tiffany says that’s not the case. In fact, she rose to public prominence due to her support for her father on his first presidential campaign trail, appearing at numerous events and delivering speeches.

Tiffany also supported her father in his 2024 presidential run, where hedefeated Vice PresidentKamala Harris.

Here’s everything to know about Donald Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump.

Tiffany Ariana Trump was born on Oct. 13, 1993, at St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla. Her name had special meaning to her father, who chose Tiffany topay tribute to the famed jewelry store— as well as the real estate deal he made when he bought the air rights above the brand’s landmark New York City storefront to build Trump Tower.

While Donald and Maples spent the first few years of Tiffany’s life as a family unit, they ended upseparating in 1997. Their split played out over the next few years, and they officially divorced in 1999.

Looking back on their time in California, Maples told PEOPLE she also wanted to give Tiffany the kind of upbringing she had growing up in rural Georgia — with organic home-cooked meals and a big backyard. While being a “single mom” was never the plan, Maples says she knew she had to “find a way.”

“Her daddy is a good provider with education and such, but as far as time, it was just me. Her father wasn’t able to be there with day-to-day skills as a parent. He loves his kids. There’s no doubt. But everything was a bit of a negotiation,” Maples shared with PEOPLE.

Meanwhile, Tiffany says she’s grateful for the upbringing her mother provided. The duo spent most of their time with one another, whether it was playing tennis, cooking dinner, or taking humanitarian trips to places like Malawi.

“She moved us out of New York to get out of the spotlight and let me grow up and find my own identity versus being in the shadow of a name or growing up very young with all that pressure,” Tiffany told PEOPLE. “So, she wanted me to have a chance to have a normal childhood. As normal as possible. I think that she did well in that.”

Tiffany had a distant relationship with her father growing up

As Tiffany was primarily raised on the West Coast, she only had the chance to see her father on holidays and special occasions when she spent time in either New York or at Mar-a-Lago. Family friends toldThe New York Timesthat Donald would also fly to California whenever Tiffany got awards at school, and Maples noted that she always made an effort for her daughter to spend time with her father.

“I would bring her into New York a couple times a year and let her go see her dad in the office and let her go have dinner with him and Melania,” Maples shared with PEOPLE. “I just said it’s important for her to form her own relationship with him, without my input. I wanted to create some consistency where she could see him."

While Maples worked to build a rapport between Tiffany and Donald, sources have told PEOPLE that the father-daughter had a strained relationship at times due to the distance between them. Tiffany did not get the opportunity to spend as much time with Donald as her other siblings who grew up on the East Coast, making her more independent of the whole family.

The source added, “Since the inauguration, Tiffany and her father have sometimes gone for months without speaking and she went a very long time without seeing him. The last time she was at a family function with him, it was awkward for her and she didn’t feel totally welcome.”

Despite rumors about the pair’s relationship,Tiffany has shut down any allegationsthat there’s a rift in her relationship with her father.

“We see each other as much as possible and of course we speak on the phone. I think regardless of distance, I don’t think that dictates any relationship strains,” Tiffany told PEOPLE. “I really have an emotional bond with him and he was always just the funniest, most loving father. I’m so lucky to have parents who are so supportive of me, of each other. That really shows the respect two people have for each other.”

She considered pursuing a career in entertainment

According to herInstagram, she specialized in tech and cyber national security as well as criminal justice reform. Students who attended alongside her shared that Tiffany had a relatively normal experience while studying and living in an off-campus apartment in Washington — although she did bring Secret Service with her to class.

“Most of the students just ignored her,” a former classmatetold CNN. “The only difference is that her agents always attended classes with her, but she maintained a very low-profile.”

Upon graduation in 2020, both Donald and Maplescongratulated their daughterwith sweet messages on social media.

“We are so grateful for your kind [heart] @TiffanyATrump & dedication to your education, commitment to humanity & most important your wisdom which is your God blessing to share," Mapleswrote on X(formerly known as Twitter).

“Working together outside of our political comfort zones will accomplish so much more. Some cynical politicians do not seem to believe in the miracle of America. Well, I do,”Tiffany said during her speech. “Having hope is not weakness and believing in miracles is a gift from God.”

While Tiffany did not grow up with her half-siblings, her mother thought it wasimportant for her to foster a bond with them. Maples explained that she always reminded Tiffany to connect with her older siblings — Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric — as well as her younger brother Barron.

“I never let her ever think of them as her half sister or half brothers,” Maples explained to PEOPLE. “This is your family. It was really important to me: Every birthday, every occasion, always say hi and connect."

She continued, “No matter what may have been going on between her father and [me], I wanted the kids to always stay connected and rooted. I’ll always love them. I knew them when they were so young, and I’m so proud of who they are today. They’re all fantastic to Tiffany.”

When Tiffany moved to the East Coast for college, she was able to create a deeper bond with her siblings. Maples acknowledged that Ivanka, in particular, was a “great supporter,” who had made “helpful suggestions” about Tiffany’s future career.

“We would see each other on all of the holidays and talk to each other frequently,” Ivanka told PEOPLE in 2016. “She’s my little sister! I’ve been close to Tiffany her whole life, and I really love her.”
