Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were photographed at Citi Field watching the New York Mets suffer a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.
The couple and their two sons, Joseph and Theodore — both dressed in Mets garb — sat in the front row of the crowd just behind home plate and watched the Cubs claim a narrow win.
Before the game, the family snapped photos with Mets fan favorites Pete Alonso, Fransico Lindor and Kodai Senga.
They were allowed to take family photos in the Mets dugout and were also spotted with team owner Steve Cohen’s wife, Alex.
Kushner and Trump both served as advisors to Ivanka’s father, Donald Trump, during his tenure in the White House, but have since distanced themselves from the former president, who currently faces 78 indictments across three criminal counts.

On the field, Mike Tauchman hit a crucial home run in the eighth inning and Jameson Taillon gave up his last 16 batters to win his fourth straight start.
Cody Bellinger also went deep and Yan Gomes hit an RBI double for the surging Cubs, who won for the 16th time in 21 games. They started the day two and a half games behind first-seeded Milwaukee in the NL Central and one game behind a playoff spot.
Pete Alonso hit an early two-run home run for the sinking Mets that culminated in an amusing back-and-forth trot around bases due to a replay. New York has lost seven of eight since taking on Justin Verlander and other veterans on deadline last week.

Tauchman also landed a hard catch in deep right field to prevent the Mets from scoring late in the eighth. Julian Merryweather went out with 2022 Big League batting champion Jeff McNeil with runners at the corners to end the inning.
Adbert Alzolay made a one-hit ninth for his 15th save in 16 attempts. He started a 1-6-3 doubleplay against Daniel Vogelbach to end the game.
Taillon (7-6) allowed three hits in seven innings and went 5-0 in his last six games. He hit seven, didn’t walk and didn’t allow a baserunner after Omar Narvaez hit a two-out double in the second.
With an out in the eighth, Tauchman sent a payoff pitch from Drew Smith (4-4) down center left for a home run in backfield that put Chicago ahead for the first time.
