Donald Trump’s granddaughter reveals her new celebrity crush
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Kai Trump revealed that her celebrity crush has changed since 2024. She said that Theo James is her current favorite. However, she clarified that this doesn’t mean that her liking for her previous celebrity crush has faded. “I mean, like, I still like him [Starkey], but it’s just changed a little,” she said.
Kai was then asked what about James appealed to her that made her put him on her favorite list. She said, “He’s very attractive.” Back in 2024, Kai did a Q&A session with fans, where she was yet again asked about her celebrity crush. Before responding to the question, she took her phone and looked at it, only to immediately regret it. Kai added, “Oh my God, I know. Why do I need my phone? His name is Drew Starkey. Do you guys know him — ‘Outer Banks’?” She said that she loves him and teased that she might blush now.
In addition, Kai also revealed that she has always been interested in social media, having grown up watching several popular YouTube stars. While she continues to build a digital career alongside her golf career, she has made it clear on several occasions that she is not interested in politics.
During the 2026 ESPY Awards, she reiterated her disinterest in politics. “Honestly, I kind of stay out of politics completely. It’s just not my thing,” Kai Trump explained of her life as a social media influencer. “I just like showing my life and showing how you can still be an athlete, and you can still do a ton of other things and enjoy a ton of other things,” she elaborated.
