Lara Trump is a skilled pastry chef, fitness trainer and TV producer, but after her husband Eric’s father became US president, she decided to overhaul her life in service of the family – meet Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law

When she wed Eric Trump in 2014, Lara Yunaska knew she was marrying into one of the most famous families in America. Little did she know back then, however, just how famous the family would become. Fast forward to 2020, and Lara Trump is in the thick of it as an adviser to President Trump’s re-election campaign.

However before she got into politics, regularly featuring on Fox News and attending campaign rallies, she had a whole different life – one she decided to leave behind in service of her father-in-law. So, what’s changed and what hasn’t since she married Eric and got caught up in the Trump whirlwind?

She knows how to feel the burn – and bake elaborate cakes

A keen athlete and marathon runner, Lara even worked as a personal trainer. A quick glance at her rock-hard abs on social media certainly go some way to explaining why she was so successful at whipping her clients into shape.

 

She is always loved the camera

After studying communications, Lara interned at several TV stations, eventually bagging a job as a story coordinator on CBS’s Inside Edition. She was promoted to associate producer right before she left the industry to work for President Trump.
