As Jared Kushner revealed in his memoir, “Breaking History: A White House Memoir,” his now-wife, Ivanka Trump, was perhaps not always destined to be his lifelong partner — at least if her father had anything to say about it. 

In the memoir, Kushner recalls how Donald Trump had approached him shortly before he proposed to Ivanka, and reminded him that Tom Brady – the famous quarterback of the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – apparently had an interest in Ivanka. Kushner was left with the impression that he better prove himself to the family, especially in light of his then-upcoming proposal.

This is not the first time the former president has thrown out the possibility of an Ivanka-Brady relationship. Back in 2004, a year before Kushner and Ivanka even met, he said in an interview with Howard Stern that he would like to see Brady date his daughter. After Stern asked if Donald would accept Brady dating Ivanka, he replied, “I think he’s great. He’s 25 years old. He’s Mr. All-American.” At the time, Ivanka was 22. When it came to the possibility of the two actually dating, Trump replied, “Well, it could happen. I mean, he’d like to, and we’ll see.”
