Billionaire entrepreneur Josh Kushner is married to supermodel and coding advocate Karlie Kloss.
Kushner's brother is Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former White House advisor.
Kushner and Kloss have each revealed they didn't vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
Model Karlie Kloss and venture capitalist Josh Kushner may seem like an odd pairing on the surface, but they've been together since 2012 and have become partners in both life and business.
The couple has kept their relationship under the radar since they first started dating. Kloss and Kushner got married in October 2018 and held a second Western-themed wedding eight months later. They welcomed their third child in 2025.
Kushner also happens to be the younger brother of former White House advisor Jared Kushner, whose father-in-law is President Donald Trump. Josh and Jared Kushner's father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, became the US ambassador to France in Trump's second term.
Charles Kushner was also pardoned by Trump in 2020. He pleaded guilty to tax evasion, retaliating against a federal witness, and one count of lying to the FEC in 2005 and served two years in prison. As chairman of Kushner Companies, Charles Kushner admitted to filing false tax returns and recruiting a prostitute to seduce the husband of his sister, who cooperated with authorities, and film the encounter.
Although Kushner and Kloss haven't publicly spoken out against Trump, they have said they didn't vote for him in the 2016 election.
Here's a look at the relationship between Josh Kushner and Karlie Kloss, including their real-estate portfolio and ties to Donald Trump.

Thrive Capital has made some of its biggest investments in tech startups, including grocery delivery service Instacart, stock-trading app Robinhood, and insurance company Lemonade, according to PitchBook .
Because of his investments, Kushner sits on the boards for shaving product maker Harry's and wedding planning platform Zola.
The firm has also invested in companies like Instagram, Stripe, and ClassPass.
Kushner's savvy investments have made him a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $5.2 billion, Forbes reported in August. Thrive Capital was valued at $5.3 billion in January 2023 and reportedly manages about $25 billion in assets.
Kushner has also helped start two companies.

He cofounded health-insurance startup Oscar in 2012 and real-estate investment company Cadre in 2014.
Oscar, which aims to use tech to provide a more consumer-friendly insurance option, secured $375 million from Alphabet , Google's parent company, in 2018.
Meanwhile, Cadre was valued at $800 million in 2019, according to Forbes. Kushner founded it with his brother, Jared Kushner.
Meanwhile, 34-year-old Karlie Kloss began working as a model in her teenage years and went on to become a coding advocate.

Kloss skyrocketed to prominence as a Victoria's Secret Angel and became one of the highest-paid supermodels in the industry, Forbes reported.
She also runs a free coding camp for girls. In 2015, Kloss started Kode With Klossy, a charity that encourages girls to get involved in coding and tech.
Kloss and Kushner met and began dating in 2012.

On June 8, 2016, Kloss shared a photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, of her and Kushner revealing that she had met Kushner exactly four years before, placing their first encounter on June 8, 2012, although it's not known exactly how they met.
Their relationship became public when Kushner was spotted on Kloss' arm at a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party in November 2012, Us Weekly reported.
They have tried to keep their relationship relatively private since then.
In 2013, Kloss said she appreciates that Kushner is "so not in fashion" in an interview with People.

"It's really refreshing to leave all the fashion shows and shoots and chaos totally behind," Kloss told People magazine .
Kloss deflected questions about her relationship in a 2016 interview with Elle.

Elle magazine's Lotte Jeffs asked Kloss if she and Kushner have a "no phones in the bedroom" rule. Kloss answered by shaking her head and saying, "I keep my phone pretty close to me." She added that she tries to digitally detox once a week.
When asked if technology ever causes arguments in their relationship, Kloss "deftly deflects the question," Jeffs wrote.
The couple has largely avoided talking about politics, which is notable given their ties to the Trump family.
