President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump left a note for Philadelphia Eagles defender Eli Ricks during her tour of the team’s facility with her son’s flag football team on Friday.

Ricks’ connection to Ivanka started last month during the Eagles’ White House visit, where they toured the West Wing and got multiple photo-ops with the Commander in Chief. 

The defensive back’s eyesight turned from the President to his daughter, who works in the White House as an advisor to her father. 

‘Donald Trump daughter is beautiful damn,’ the 23-year-old Ricks posted on X, with it being clearly directed at Ivanka and not Tiffany Trump.  

Ivanka, 41, has now repaid the favor to her not-so-secret admirer but leaving a note in his locker. 

‘Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!’ Ivanka wrote.

Trump also posted a wide shot of Ricks’ locker with a bunch of the gridiron star’s clothes inside, with it being a direct reply to Ricks’ social-media message about her. 

A dozen minutes after Trump posted the images to social media, Ricks’ slick reply came through. 

‘My apologies, I owe you a glass of wine now!’ Ricks posted alongside emojis of of a face-palm and a glass of red wine. 

Ivanka has been married to fellow White House advisor Jared Kushner since 2009. 

The couple has three children – 13-year-old Arabella, Joseph, 11, and 9-year-old Theodore. It was Theodore’s team that let Ivanka have a tour of the Eagles’ facility.
