Karlie Kloss Addresses Her & Josh Kushner's Ties to Trump Family

She continued, “I think it’s possible to have relationships with people who you politically don’t align with. And I think this country has always been a place for dialogue. We have to be able to talk to each other.”

And she’s speaking from experience. After all, Karlie eventually converted to Judaism during her relationship with Joshua after having discussions early on in their romance about faith. 

“I fell in love with somebody whose faith was a huge part of who he is,” she said. “And I knew that from the start and choosing that I wanted that in my life. I’m really proud of that choice.”

While Karlie, 33, and Josh, 41, tied the knot in 2018—and in the years since have welcomed kids Levi, 5, Elijah, 2, and Rae, 9 months—their relationship goes back much further. In fact, the pair’s bond is so deep that it’s made becoming a mom to three a breeze.

“We’ve been together since I was 19,” Karlie explained during the May 20 episode of Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast. “We’ve grown up together. He’s always been my biggest champion, especially in this adjustment into motherhood. He’s been somebody who’s like, ‘Karlie, you cannot lose yourself. You will not be happy and then our children will feel that.’”

And though the Klossy founder admitted she’d never expected to meet “the love of my life” before she even turned 20, their many years together have prepared them for anything. 

Because we met so young, we’ve been through so much together and really grown together. I think that’s also part of why our partnership is so solid.”
