Ivanka Trump leaves viral message in Eagles’ locker room for player who called her ‘beautiful’

Eli Ricks appears to have made a fan.

A month after the Philadelphia Eagles defensive back visited the White House and publicly announced Ivanka Trump is “beautiful” and “exactly my type,” the first daughter left Ricks a message in the Eagles locker room.

Trump, 43, was touring the training facility with her family on Friday.

“Stopped by to say hi!” Trump, who is a married mother of three, wrote in her note, which she shared on X.

“Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!”

Ricks reposted Trump’s message, saying, “My apologies, I owe you a glass of wine now xx!”

The Eagles visited the White House last month to celebrate his team’s February Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He tweeted his admiration after he saw her.

“Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn,” Ricks posted on X.

“After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”

Ricks, who played at LSU and Alabama, joined the Eagles in 2023 as an undrafted free agent.
