Ivanka Trump’s husband may have spent the morning appearing in Congress to answer questions, but it was just another perfectly blissful day in the Kushner house.

Or so it appeared in an image Ivanka posted on Instagram Monday morning of baby Theo in his highchair, donning sunglasses and smeared in what appears to be yogurt.

“Good way to start the day!” was the caption that accompanied the image, in which the Kushners’ daughter, Arabella, sits next to her brother wearing a jaunty straw hat.

The vibe positively screams “the father of these adorable all-American yoghurt-eating kids could never collude with the Russians!”

Comments responding to the photo ranged from “Happy baby and I love the hat!!!” to “Stop using your kids as a diversion.” One had a less-than-subtle commentary on Jared Kushner’s remarks to senators that he delivered a few miles away on Capitol Hill: “Looks like the food their dad is going to eat in prison #traitorJared.”

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism so that we can be prepared for whatever news the rest of 2025 brings.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Membership Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
