WHO ARE DONALD TRUMPS CHILDREN IVANKA & DONALD JR?

For those that have watched or are watching the Apprentice season 5 series there was a twist when judges Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross were missing and in their place were two good-looking young people.

The series is currently being aired in Southeast Asia on the Star World channel. It originally aired in the USA February 27 to June 5, 2006.

Since I tuned in late to the show I was not aware of the presence of the new addition. Many thoughts came to mind when I first saw the young blond haired blue-eyed girl in Carolyn Kepcher's chair. When the program was over the question remained who is that mystery person?

The simple answer came later on in the series when I tuned in from the beginning of the program and it was disclosed that Donald's two children Ivanka and Donald Jr. were the mystery judges.

It is well known Trump has been married a few times so who was the mother of Ivanka and Donald Jr.? The answer is Ivana; Trumps first wife.

Ivanka Marie Trump was born October 30, 1981 in New York City, New York. The now 25-year-old businesswoman is currently the vice president of Real Estate Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization and is also a fashion model.

Ivanka spent two years at Georgetown University, then transferred to and graduated magna cum laude from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor of science in economics in 2004.

As a model she struck gold with her first cover on a 1997 issue of Seventeen magazine. Since then she has made her way down fashion runways for Versace, Marc Bouwer and Thierry Mugler. She has done ad campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger and Sassoon Jeans and was featured on the cover of Stuff magazine in August 2006.

Her television appearances include hosting the Miss Teen USA Pageant in 1997. In 2006, she filled in for Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of The Apprentice 5, first appearing to help judge the Gillette task in week 2.

She then appeared on several episodes with her brother, Donald Jr., with Donald Sr. referring to his two children as "two true Apprenti".

Like Kepcher and Ross, Ivanka and Donald Jr. visited the site of the tasks and spoke to the teams, asking them pointed questions. She also evaluated contestants in the boardroom, pointing out critical errors and rebutting excuses they offered for losing the tasks.

Though initially unsympathetic to the contestants, Trump later disclosed to Stuff Magazine, "Whenever I see their breakdowns, I understand. They go virtually 24 hours a day, and each task takes about three days. Unless they win, they don't get a day off. It's an incredible amount of work."

Trump replaced Carolyn Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge, beginning with Season 6 of the show. The reasons why are not clear. It is clear that Trump Sr and Kepcher agreed to disagree. Trump said she was fired. Kepcher says she quit.

Donald Jr. was born December 31, 1977 in New York city, New York. He is a vice president in the Trump Organization. He also attended the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate. He had a double major in finance and marketing.

Trump, Jr. began work for the Trump Organization on such projects as the West Side Yards and Trump Place on Riverside Drive in New York City. One of his current objectives is to make The Trump Organization less New York-centric.

Recently, his work with the company has been primarily in acquisitions and development, focusing on the redevelopment of the old Delmonico Hotel and the Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago project seen on The Apprentice. He is expected to oversee the Trump International Hotel and Tower SoHo project along with his sister and Sean Yazbeck, The Apprentice Season 5 winner.

He also served as an observer in two episodes of The Apprentice 5, and is expected to be a full-time observer during Season 6, with himself and Ivanka largely replacing George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher. Season 1 winner of the Apprentice that was televised in the USA from January 8¨to April 15, 2004 Bill Rancic, is also a frequently featured as a judge.
