Quincy Jones once claimed he was dating Ivanka Trump in a bombshell interview where he described her as ‘the most beautiful legs’, but ‘the wrong father’.
The music titan, who died Sunday night at the age of 91, told New York magazine’s David Marchese in 2018 that he dated the former First Princess in 2006 – when Ivanka was 25, and Jones was 73.
In the scathing discussion, he called Trump an ‘m***************’ and a ‘narcissist megalomaniac’ as he revealed ‘I used to date Ivanka, you know’.
Marchese was blown away by the information, pressing Jones for more details where he explained that at the time Tommy Hilfiger had worked 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. ‘He’s a good ***********.’ She has the most beautiful legs I have ever seen in my life. But father was wrong.’
US music titan Quincy Jones admitted in 2018 that he had dated Ivanka Trump in 2006, when she was only 25 and she was 73. She died at the age of 91 on Sunday night.
Ivanka Trump has never confirmed or denied Jones’ claims, but allegedly told her daughter she wanted to have dinner with the music legend. Image: Ivanka Trump seen in Funke for Kim Kardashian’s birthday party on October 20, 2023 in Los Angeles

Ivanka has never confirmed or denied these claims and during the bombshell interview, was an adviser to the White House, because her father Donald Trump is the President of the United States.
Ivanka, now 43, married her father’s former senior adviser, Jared Kushner, after the couple first met in 2007, before tying the knot in 2009.
Since then, the couple has received three children together: Arabella, Joseph and Theodore.
Ivanka’s claim came after an interview with Jones in January 2018 with GQ, in which he revealed that he had a 22-year-old boyfriend from Cape Town to Stockholm, adding that his daughters regularly asked him not to date women younger than him.
She told the magazine: ‘I’ve got 22 girlfriends… everywhere. Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm—he’s coming next week. Brazil—Belo Horizonte, SĂŁo Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai-tak big girl from Shanghai, man. Cairo, wow.’
Jones further revealed that he remains honest with his multiple partners about the ways of women: ‘Yeah, I don’t lie. And it’s amazing – women ask for it, man. Don’t forget that he is 13 years smarter than us. Don’t forget it.’
While the Off the Wall record producer prefers dating younger women, he admits there are some age restrictions.
He said, ‘Well, my daughters are the ones I gave new numbers to, because they kept saying, “Dad, you can’t go out with girls younger than you.” I said, “You’re not young anymore….” So the new numbers are 28 to 42. They gave it to me.
Jones was married three times in his life, first to his high school sweetheart Jeri Caldwell, for nine years until 1966, having a daughter Jolie.
In 1967, he married Ulla Andersson and had a son and a daughter before divorcing in 1974 to marry actor Peggy Lipton.
They had two daughters, including actor Rashida Jones, before divorcing in 1989.
He has two more children: Rachel, with dancer Carol Reynolds, and Kenya, daughter with actor Nastassja Kinski.
Jones never remarried after Lipton, but continued to date younger women, surprising the public with a one-year partnership with 19-year-old Egyptian designer Heba Elawadi when he was 73.
At the time of the bombshell 2018 interview with Jones, Ivanka was a White House adviser, as her father Donald Trump was the US President.
Jones’ second wife is Ulla Andersson, a Swedish model and actress, with whom he shares a son and a daughter
His third and final wife was Peggy Lipton with whom he shared two daughters – including actress Rashida Jones

The legendary music executive, who produced Michael Jackson’s Thriller album and collaborated with artists including Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, died 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 a full but aching heart, we have to share the news of her father and brother Quincy Jones.
‘And although this is an incredible loss for the family, we celebrate his wonderful life and know there will never be another like him.’
Jones rose to the top of show business as he became one of the first black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amassed an incredible catalog of music.
He toured with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, arranged recordings for Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and composed the soundtracks for Roots and In The Heat Of The Night.
Jones organized Bill Clinton’s first inauguration as president and oversaw the recording of the all-star We Are The World in 1985 for famine relief in Africa.
Lionel Richie, who wrote We Are the World and was one of the lead singers on the charity recording, would refer to Jones as ‘the master of the orchestra’.
He will likely be most remembered for his production with Jackson, with his versatility and imagination helped set off the talents of the singer who transformed from a child star to the ‘King of Pop.’
