He fumbled this chance meeting.
Ivanka Trump left a sweet message inside the Philadelphia Eagles’ locker room for a special admirer who publicly gushed over her looks following a visit to the White House.
The first daughter, 43, was touring the Eagles’ training facility with her family on Friday when she appeared to seek out cornerback Eli Ricks — who went viral last month for saying she was “beautiful” and “exactly my type.”
“Stopped by to say hi!” the married mom of three wrote in her note, which she shared on X in direct response to the 23-year-old’s April 28 declaration.
“Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!”
Trump later posted a series of videos and pH๏τos of her son, Theodore Kushner, and his flag football team playing catch on the practice field and exploring the grounds.
Ricks, who was absent from the facility, reposted the outreach, saying “My apologies, I owe you a glᴀss of wine now xx!”
The California native had visited the White House last month to celebrate his team’s February Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs when he caught an eyeful of the president’s daughter, who has been married to Jared Kushner since 2009.
“Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn,” Ricks posted on X.
“After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”
He also re-posted several pictures of the businesswoman and a selfie of him sitting in front of a portrait of the failed ᴀssᴀssination attempt on the president last summer.
Ricks played college football at LSU and Alabama and joined the Eagles in 2023 as an undrafted free agent.
He appeared in seven games last season, lining up primarily as a special-teams player.
