President Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild Kai is quickly growing up after turning 18 recently, and it seems as though her mom Vanessa is a little nervous about it.
The mother-daughter duo took part in a question-and-answer style session with fans on Instagram last weekend, and one of the questions was, “Favorite memory together of all time!!!”
As she tidied up the kitchen while her daughter prepared some food, Vanessa, 47, who is dating gold sensation Tiger Woods, answered, “Visiting colleges this past summer. Oh, my god, yeah, we visited quite a few colleges this past summer, which was an emotional roller coaster a little bit.”

She continued, admitting, “Because obviously, when your kid goes away, you want them to pick the school that they want to go to. But inside, I also want her to go not too far. But I didn’t say that to her, though I let her.”

Kai then jumped in and pointed out, “I ended up choosing Miami,” to which Vanessa let out a sigh of relief and replied, “So I was lucky, but we had a great time doing that, you know, go in there, very open minded not going to be like home when you go to college, I want her to have a lot of fun because it goes by very fast.”
“And I think, meeting people traveling. She’s playing golf there, so she will be very busy, and just enjoy every moment, because it does go by very fast,” Vanessa concluded.
In the comment section fans were quick to point out how similar the pair were. One user wrote, “Wow, you’re so much like your mother—her mannerisms, her grace… everything. Just beautiful,” as a second echoed, “Kai, you look like your mother! You are both beautiful!”

“My grandfather’s name was Kai, and I always loved the name and I always loved the name Kai. I was very close to my grandfather. He was like a father to me. And kai means ocean, and that’s one of my favorite places to go.
“So we didn’t know if it was a girl or a boy, but I said either way, it could go My grandfather was a guy, obviously, and if it’s a girl, I’d name her Kai,” Vanessa added.
Both videos were filmed from her home in Palm Beach, Florida where she lives with Kai and her four other children, Donald John III, 16, Tristan Milos, 13, Spencer Frederick, 12, and Chloe Sophia, 11.
The eldest son of President Trump married Vanessa in 2005; however, in 2018, the couple went their separate ways, with a source telling PEOPLE at the time that the two were “living separate lives.”
