Trump, now 39, went on “several dates” with the American cyclist when she was 24 years old, in 2006 when he was 35, according to People magazine. Trump has been coy about their relationship. “I have tremendous respect for Lance and all he has accomplished,” she told People. “That said, we are just friends.”
Topher Grace
In 2018, That ’70s Show actor Topher Grace revealed that he went on several dates with Donald Trump’s daughter, but shied away from calling it a relationship. He also seemed keen to share that he is among the raft of celebrities that don’t share the same political views as the Trump family.
In 2006, Trump celebrated her 25th birthday and the pair were seen dancing and cuddling on a VIP bed at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas, People magazine reported.
“Certainly it wasn’t a political statement. This was a decade ago,” Grace admitted to The Daily Beast. “I met her here in New York and we went on a couple of dates. I wouldn’t say that we ‘dated’, but …” He also added that he “never met her father”.
