Who is Ivanka Trump married to?

When you picture the man by Ivanka Trump's side, her father probably comes to mind. They work together at The Trump Organization. They co-star on "The Apprentice." They're incredibly close. She's even introducing him at the RNC tonight.

However, Donald Trump is not the only man in her life. Ivanka Trump has been married since October 2009. Her husband's name is Jared Kushner.

Much like Donald Trump, Kushner is a New York real estate developer and CEO of a company started by his father. In 2007, at the age of just 26, Kushner purchased a Manhattan office tower, 666 Fifth Avenue, for what was then a record $1.8 billion. The Harvard educated businessman also owns The New York Observer newspaper. And along with Ivanka, he's become a trusted adviser in Trump's campaign.

When he and Ivanka married in 2009 after about two years of dating -- the merging of two prominent New York real estate families -- she converted to Judaism for him.

Of her new religion, she later told Vogue: "It's been such a great life decision for me... I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity. From Friday to Saturday we don't do anything but hang out with one another. We don't make phone calls."

Ivanka and Jared Kushner now have a daughter and two sons together: Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James (who was born in March 2016 in the midst of the presidential primary season).
