5 Things to Know About Tiffany Trump Ahead of RNC Speech

Donald Trump’s 22-year-old daughter, Tiffany Trump, will take the stage tonight at day two of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland to deliver her first speech on the campaign trail.

Unlike her older sister, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump rarely gives interviews and has largely shied away from the spotlight surrounding her father’s presidential campaign until now. Here are five things to know about the lesser-known Trump daughter:

Tiffany Trump is the only child from the celebrity businessman’s six-year marriage to actress and TV personality Marla Maples. That makes her the half-sister of the elder Trump kids: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, whose mother is Donald Trump’s first wife and former model Ivana Trump. Tiffany Trump is also a half-sister to Barron Trump, the son of Donald Trump’s third wife and former model Melania Trump.

Tiffany Trump grew up in California with her mother and the two are reportedly very close.

Tiffany Trump graduated in May from the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied at the School of Arts and Sciences and is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She graduated in the same class as as Joe Biden's granddaughter, Naomi Biden.

Donald Trump graduated from the college’s prestigious Wharton School of Business in 1986. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has sent two of his other children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, to the Ivy League school as well.

In 2014, when she was 17, Tiffany Trump released a single called “Like a Bird." Earlier that year, she said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that music is “a big passion.”

"It's always been very dear to me. It's a big passion. It's more of a hobby right now, but we'll see in a couple of years if I want to take it to the next level as a professional,” Tiffany Trump told Winfrey on “Where Are They Now?”

Tiffany Trump landed a coveted internship at the magazine -- reportedly, with a little help from her older sister and fashion mogul, Ivanka Trump.

“She would go to work at 5:30 a.m. and even got to have lunch with Anna Wintour,” Ivanka Trump told the Daily Mail in 2013.

Tiffany Trump has been dating her boyfriend Ross Mechanic, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, for several months, according to photos posed on Instagram by the couple. The two have posted photos together on vacations, at Tiffany Trump’s graduation and her father’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, among other places.

Mechanic, his father, mother and older brother are all registered Democrats, according to the Daily Mail, which cited public records. But so far, politics hasn’t torn these two apart.
