5 ways Melania and Ivanka Trump are more similar than they’d like to admit, from a shared love of Pilates, matching fashion style and self-founded jewellery brands, to their ‘family first’ values

- Not only do step-mum and stepdaughter often step out in matching looks, their matching tastes have lead both to launch their own high-end jewellery lines
- Both women have strict workout routines, healthy diets and similar parenting views, and Ivanka says Melania is ‘a great inspiration’ on how to put family first
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the nature of the relationship between Melania and Ivanka Trump. Are step-mum and stepdaughter besties, frenemies or just plain enemies? Whatever the case, the former first lady and first daughter are more similar than you think. Here are five ways …
The effort to achieve these high levels of perfection at all times suggests some form of like-minded thinking between Ivanka and her stepmother Melania
1. Both lead super-healthy lifestyles

According to Inside Edition, the former first lady eats seven pieces of fruit per day, often cramming them into a smoothie, and sometimes adding a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast – which happens to be one of the only two breakfasts Ivanka offers her children to avoid “decision fatigue”.
Ivanka, 40, is also serious about eating a healthy diet but ruled out doing only green juices after once enduring a brutal cleanse. Explaining how eating healthily is the “norm” for her, Ivanka told Shape magazine in 2015 that “salmon and chicken, salads and home-made veggie soups” are her go-to and she prefers nutritious meals to fast food, much like her stepmother once told Inside Edition.
Melania and Ivanka would make great workout buddies … Ivanka is often spotted jogging with her husband Jared or playing tennis with her children. She is also a fan of Reformer Pilates, particularly the Megaformer brand that the likes of her sister-in-law Karlie Kloss and former first lady Michelle Obama have tried in Washington DC. In similar fashion, Melania is also adamant about doing her daily sweat sessions and her exercises of choice lean toward Pilates and tennis. Her husband Donald isn’t best known for keeping active so perhaps Melania and her stepdaughter should team up.
2. They even have the same fashion sense
Whether they’re twinning in blush pink as White House press secretary Steve Mnuchin’s wedding guests, or Ivanka rocking a grey plaid suit on Capitol Hill just one month after her stepmother donned one to a United Nations speech in 2017, the Trump women regularly look like they’ve stuck to their own secret dress code.
