  • The children of US presidents are often no strangers to the spotlight, from Hillary and Bill Clinton’s daughter Chelsea to George W. Bush’s twins Barbara Pierce and Jenna
  • Donald Trump has kids from multiple marriages including Ivana Trump, Marla Maples and Melania Trump, while Michelle and Barack Obama’s daughters are all grown up, with Malia working in entertainment

Children of US presidents are in the public eye almost as much as their parents. Some first kids follow their parents into politics, while others steer clear of the limelight. Many remain involved with their parents’ foundations and presidential libraries too.

So where are some of the most famous first kids of the United States today?

Chelsea Clinton was 12 years old when Bill Clinton entered the White House. The Clintons asked the media to give Chelsea privacy outside of public appearances, but she still faced intense scrutiny and ridicule from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Saturday Night Live. She began studying at Stanford University in 1997.

She previously worked as a special correspondent for NBC News and earned two master’s degrees, one from Oxford in international relations and one in public health from Columbia University.

The 43-year-old has written several children’s books, and she’s active on Twitter discussing issues facing families, public health and dealing with bullies.

While her mother, Hillary, lost the presidency to Donald Trump, Chelsea said a future for her in politics was a “definite maybe”. She and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, have three children.
