Ivanka also revealed that her husband is her “greatest source of motivation.” She confessed, “In the moments of highest anxiety for me I will think about jared and the kids and realize that no matter how poorly I perform I will come home at night and my kids will not love me any less and my husband will love me just as much maybe even a little more because he’ll know I’ll need it.”
