— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) May 16, 2025 Ricks apologized to Ivanka and jokingly tried to set up a date. “My apologies, I owe you a glass of wine now xx!” Ricks wrote back.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks fired off another flirty message to Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, on Friday following her visit to the Eagles’ facility.

Later, Eli posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, "Donald Trump daughter is beautiful damn." He then later posted, "After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type." ...

Fast-forward 18 days, and Ivanka Trump was a guest of the Eagles, bringing her son Theo to the NovaCare Complex to see the Super Bowl trophies and tour the facility.

Eli Ricks couldn’t stop smiling. Not because of the Super Bowl ring still glinting on his finger or the standing ovation he got at the Eagles’ team awards banquet recently.

Ricks, who played at LSU and Alabama, joined the Eagles in 2023 as an undrafted free agent. Mark Heim is a reporter for The Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Mark_Heim.
