How Quincy Jones claimed he as soon as dated Ivanka Trump in bombshell interview the place he described her as having ‘probably the most lovely legs’ however ‘the incorrect father’
Quincy Jones once claimed he dated Ivanka Trump in a bombshell interview where he described her as having ‘the most beautiful legs’, but ‘the wrong father’.
The music titan, who passed away on Sunday night aged 91, told New York magazine’s David Marchese in 2018 that he went on a date with the former First Daughter in 2006 – when Ivanka was 25, and Jones was 73.
In the shocking discussion, he called Trump a ‘crazy m***********’ and a ‘megalomaniac narcissist’ as he revealed ‘I used to date Ivanka, you know’.
Marchese was blown away by the information, pressing Jones for further details where he explained at the time Tommy Hilfiger had been working with his daughter Kidada, a former model, who told him that Ivanka wanted to have dinner with him.
‘I said, “No problem,” Jones told the publication. ‘She’s a fine m***********.’ She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong father, though.’

Ivanka never confirmed or denied the claims and at the time of the bombshell interview, was an adviser to the White House, as her father Donald Trump was the US President.
Ivanka, now 43, is married to her father’s former senior advisor, Jared Kushner, after the pair first met in 2007, before marrying in 2009.
Since then, the couple have welcomed three children together: Arabella, Joseph and Theodore.
The Ivanka claims came after Jones’ January 2018 interview with GQ, where he revealed he had 22 girlfriends from Cape Town to Stockholm, adding that his daughters regularly asked him not to date women younger than them.
He told the magazine: ‘I got 22 girlfriends… Hell yeah. Everywhere. Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm—she’s coming in next week. Brazil—Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai—got a great girl over there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, whew.’
Jones further disclosed that he kept things honest with his numerous partners about his womanizing ways: ‘Yeah, I don’t lie. And it’s amazing—women get it, man. Don’t you ever forget they’re 13 years smarter than we are. Don’t you ever forget it.’
While the Off the Wall record producer preferred to date younger women, he admitted there were some age restrictions in place.
He said: ‘Well, my daughters gave me new numbers, because they kept saying, “Dad, you can’t go out with girls younger than us.” I said, “Y’all are not young anymore….” So the new numbers are 28 to 42. They gave them to me’.
Jones was married three times in his life, first to his high-school girlfriend Jeri Caldwell, for nine years until 1966, fathering his daughter Jolie.
In 1967, he then married Ulla Andersson and had a son and daughter before divorcing in 1974 to marry actor Peggy Lipton.
They had two daughters, including actor Rashida Jones, before divorcing in 1989.
He had two further children: Rachel, with a dancer, Carol Reynolds, and Kenya, his daughter with actor Nastassja Kinski.
Jones never remarried after Lipton, but continued to date a string of younger women, stunning the public with his year-long partnership with 19-year-old Egyptian designer Heba Elawadi when he was 73.

The legendary music executive, who produced Michael Jackson’s Thriller album and collaborated with artists including Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, passed away on Sunday night surrounded by his family at his home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. No cause of death was given.
His daughter Rashida, who played Karen Filippelli in The Office – said in a statement: ‘Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing.
‘And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.’
Jones rose to the top of showbusiness as he became one of the first black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amassed an extraordinary musical catalogue.
He toured with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, arranged records for Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and composed soundtracks for Roots and In The Heat Of The Night.
Jones organised then-president Bill Clinton’s first inaugural celebration and oversaw the all-star recording of We Are The World in 1985 for famine relief in Africa.
Lionel Richie, who co-wrote We Are the World and was among the featured singers on the charity record, would call Jones ‘the master orchestrator’.
He will likely be best remembered for his productions with Jackson, with his versatility and imagination helping set off the singer’s talents as he transformed from child star to the ‘King of Pop.’
