It was a day to remember at the White House as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their Super Bowl LIX victory with President Donald Trump. However, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the special moment shared between Ivanka Trump’s son, Theo, and Eagles star Saquon Barkley in the Rose Garden.
Ivanka took to her social media platforms to share videos and pictures of Theo and Barkley playing catch in the White House grounds. The mother of three even revealed that Theo fearlessly challenged one of the fastest men in the NFL to a race.
“Celebrating with champions at the White House today!” Ivanka captioned her Instagram post. “Congratulations to the Eagles on an amazing season and Super Bowl win! My highlight of the day? Theo challenging Barkley to a race in the Rose Garden after my father wisely demurred! Thanks Saquon for being such a great sport!”
Barkley, who had previously attended a tech summit with Ivanka’s family, was seen having a great time with Theo and even shared a post on social media featuring a picture of the three of them together. Ivanka responded by thanking Barkley for his kindness towards her son and jokingly mentioned the pain of him leaving the Giants.
During the celebration at the White House, Barkley was joined by his teammates, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, and head coach Nick Siriani. President Trump commended Barkley for his role in helping the Eagles secure the Super Bowl victory, highlighting his impressive backward leap over a defender during the regular season.
Despite facing criticism for spending time with Trump at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, Barkley defended his actions on social media. In a tweet, he stated that he simply respects the office of the President and has also played golf with Obama in the past.
Before leaving for Washington D.C., President Trump praised Barkley’s character and athleticism, expressing his desire to race the NFL star. The day was filled with wholesome fun and memorable moments, showcasing the camaraderie between sports figures and political personalities.
Overall, the White House celebration was a joyous occasion, bringing together athletes, politicians, and fans to commemorate the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory.
