Karlie Kloss and Josh Kushner took the internet by surprise and got married in a secret ceremony on Thursday, and obviously everyone wants to know if a) Taylor Swift was there, and b) Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner showed up. First of all, no, Taylor wasn't there—but she had a good reason! Second of all, it looks like the Trumps were in attendance. Or at the very least were super thrilled about the event, because Ivanka went ahead and hopped on Twitter to offer congratulations to the couple. This content is imported from Twitter.

Kushner, a 33-year-old venture capitalist and founder of the health care startup Oscar, is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s husband and an adviser to President Donald Trump. Kloss, 26, is an extremely successful supermodel — currently ranked seventh on Forbes’s highest-paid models list, earning $9 million between June 2016 and June 2017 — and is close friends with Taylor Swift. Swift recently outed herself as a Democratic voter, disappointing members of the far right who had previously claimed her as an “Aryan goddess” avatar. Neither Josh Kushner nor Kloss voted for Trump. Once again, why do we care? Because in this case, it adds new layers of complication, wealth, and star power to the extended Trump family tree. Who is Karlie Kloss? Raised in St. Louis, Kloss hit the fashion circuit in the late ’00s and quickly became one of the industry’s more in-demand runway and editorial models, booking shows for brands like Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs and shooting numerous spreads for Vogue. After conquering the high-fashion world — that’s really not an exaggeration — Kloss starting taking on more commercial (and lucrative) jobs, becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2013 and signing a contract with Nike in 2014. In doing so, Kloss shifted her image from runway waif to bankable big name and athlete. At the same time, Kloss was making bigger career moves to become not just a model, but a brand. In 2012, she collaborated with Momofuku Milk Bar on an assortment of healthy-ish (gluten-free, dairy-free) cookies called Karlie’s Kookies, some of the proceeds of which went to Lauren Bush’s Feed organization. You can still buy Kloss’s “Perfect 10” cookie today. Kloss went on to launch her Klossy YouTube channel in 2015, using the platform to document her life and work (subscribers: 727,264). And she made coding — specifically, getting girls into computer science — her big cause, founding a program called Kode with Klossy. The venture landed her on the cover of Forbes as “the new face of coding.” All of this was aided by Kloss’s high-profile friendship with Taylor Swift. Among their public appearances together, Kloss and Swift shot a joint Vogue cover in 2015 (“On the Road with Best Friends Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss”), and Swift invited Kloss onstage on the London leg of her “1989” tour. Some stans hoped their relationship was a romantic one; there was also some speculation that their friendship was over, which Kloss denied in a Vogue interview. (It looks like Swift didn’t attend Kloss’s wedding, since she was performing in Perth, Australia, at the time.) Either way, Kloss’s ties to Swift are particularly interesting right now, as she marries into the Kushner family — and, in doing so, into the Trump family. Beyond Kloss’s own considerable earnings, Kloss’s Swift ties speak to the degree of fame, wealth, and influence that flows through this extended network, while also underscoring the political divisions within it: After remaining quiet during the lead-up to the 2016 election, Swift finally broke her silence early this month and endorsed two Democrats in the Tennessee midterm elections. That Instagram post, which now has more than 2 million likes, might have contributed to a rise in voter registrations in the state. The liberal wing of the family Unlike Swift, Kloss was very public about who she voted for in 2016: Hillary Clinton. On November 8 of that year, she tweeted a photo of herself filling out the ballot. One of the greatest privileges we have as Americans is a voice. I’m proud to say I did my part, now it’s your turn. #ImWithHer pic.twitter.com/kJSNxLqy2u — Karlie Kloss (@karliekloss) November 8, 2016 Josh Kushner also didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, and he told Forbes that his values and voting history have skewed liberal. After the election he held hundreds of one-on-one meetings with employees at his VC firm, Thrive Capital, and at its portfolio companies. “Josh went around to me and presumably every company and said, ‘I have no personal ties to this administration. I’m not responsible for their actions and won’t be able to get you special favors,’” Stewart Butterfield, the CEO of Slack, told Forbes. “‘Just consider me the same person who invested in your company—there is no connection, either good or bad.’” While Kushner has remained relatively quiet throughout the first years of Trump’s presidency, one extremely prominent member of the Trump family extended her congratulations to the couple on Twitter, cementing the connection between Kushner, Kloss, and the White House. So much love for you both as you begin forever together. ❤️ https://t.co/8lYSGrKpVu — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) October 19, 2018 Like Ivanka Trump, Kloss reportedly converted to Judaism to marry Kushner. When the two got engaged over the summer, Ivanka Trump commented on her brother-in-law’s Instagram, “♥️ So incredibly happy for you Josh! You and Karlie are blessed to have found one another. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter + adventure for you both! xx.” With Kloss and Kushner’s wedding in the books, the Trump family gets a little bit bigger and a lot weirder.

Karlie Kloss and Josh Kushner got married on Thursday, October 18, in a top-secret wedding attended by a reported 80 people. Though it's unclear exactly who was there, we do know that Kloss' pal Taylor Swift wasn't in attendance, as she had to take an 18-hour flight to Perth, Australia, for her latest stop on the Reputation Stadium Tour -- news she revealed in a colorful Instagram Story. With the question of whether or not Swift was at the upstate New York wedding answered, the next potential guest that people wanted to know about was Ivanka Trump, who is married to Josh's brother, Jared Kushner. Right now, it's unclear if Trump was in attendance at the nuptials (The Daily Mail reports that she did attend along with her husband and three children), but the First Daughter did take to Twitter to congratulate the happy couple on their wedding, which came just four months after Kloss announced their engagement. "So much love for you both as you begin forever together," Ivanka tweeted in response to Kloss' simple wedding announcement, which included a photo of the pair together at their wooded venue. So much love for you both as you begin forever together. ❤️ https://t.co/8lYSGrKpVu — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) October 19, 2018 Trump had previously given the couple a public show of support when Kloss revealed their engagement to the world over the summer. "So, so happy for you and Josh!" Ivanka wrote back in July. "I feel blessed to have you as a sister (!!!) Karlie and look forward to the decades of happy memories we will create together as a family!" "So incredibly happy for you Josh," the advisor to the president wrote on Josh's engagement announcement. "You and Karlie are blessed to have found one another. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter + adventure for you both!" Though Kloss has never publicly addressed her relationship with her now-sister-in-law, the two did attend the 2016 US Open together with a mutual friend, and sources claim that they've been friendly since 2012. Josh reportedly refers to Ivanka as his "sister" (instead of "sister-in-law"), and Newsweek insists that he is close with Jared and Ivanka, despite their vastly different political views. Indeed, Kloss and her husband have said in the past that they share the same "liberal values" and that they've chosen to spend their lives together "despite complications," alluding to their connection to the Trump family.
