Love at First Sight on the South Lawn?
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Eli Ricks went to Washington to celebrate a Super Bowl victory. But what stole his heart wasn’t the moment, the championship, or even the presidential attention — it was Ivanka Trump.
In a now-viral tweet, Ricks didn’t hold back:
“Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn,” he wrote. “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”
He doubled down by reposting several photos of the 43-year-old former first daughter — wearing a baby-blue jacket and commanding attention as always — and let the world know he was smitten.

Ivanka Steals the Spotlight
Ivanka was radiant at the White House visit, even without husband Jared Kushner by her side. Her son Theodore played catch with Saquon Barkley on the lawn — a moment captured in her joyful social media post:
“Celebrating with champions at the White House today! Congratulations to the [Eagles] on an amazing season and Super Bowl win!”
But behind Ivanka’s spotlight moment was a sideline love story no one saw coming — and Ricks wasn’t hiding it.
“Exactly My Type”: Twitter Goes Wild
Fans immediately jumped in with jokes and commentary.
“Eli didn’t just catch a ball — he caught feelings,” one fan posted.
“Somebody tell him the Trumps don’t do undrafted,” another joked.
While many laughed, others were charmed by Ricks’ boldness. He even posted a selfie in front of a dramatic photo from last year’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump, adding an unexpected twist to an already explosive social media moment.
Ricks: From LSU to Viral Heartthrob
Ricks, a California native who played for LSU and Alabama, made seven appearances with the Eagles last season, mostly on special teams. But it’s his heartfelt admiration for Ivanka that’s making headlines now.
While other teammates were focused on football — or skipping the trip altogether — Ricks had his eye on something else entirely.
Notable No-Shows at the White House
Surprisingly, many of the team’s biggest names did not attend the event. Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Brandon Graham, Darius Slay, and others were noticeably missing.
Still, those who showed up were treated to a warm welcome by President Trump, who praised the team’s victory and spent time with players like Barkley and Ricks.
