Kai Trump shared insight into her love life in a Q&A session posted to YouTube, and revealed how she really felt about dating. The 18-year-old answered a slew of fan questions in the video, including one that asked: "Are you single?"

"I'm kind of talking to a guy right now, we might go to prom together," she responded. "So yeah, I'm like yes…no…kind of…figuring it out."

Kai, the eldest grandchild of Donald Trump, and the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, is currently in her senior year at school and is set to begin studying at the University of Miami in the fall of 2026.

Kai shared that she had a date to her prom

The social media personality opened up in an interview on the Impaulsive podcast about the difficulties of dating while having her own Secret Service team on hand at all times.  

"To be honest with you, it's really awkward when you're sitting and going on a date with a guy, and [the Secret Service are] like two tables behind you. It's a little weird," she admitted.

"But I try my best not to let it bother me, and I think I've learned especially over the past year now…I've had to learn to [think] yes, they're following me, but also focus and pretend like they're not there."

She admitted that having a security detail was an adjustment

Although Kai's life changed when her grandfather became president for the second time in 2025, she shared that her parents have tried to keep their children as grounded as possible.

"My mom let us have our own opinions, and she's very much like me, like she's very calm, she's very chill, she likes hearing people out," she said on the podcast. "Obviously my dad, I love him, but he just goes to war online."

"My parents have always had us [have] our own opinions," she added. "Nothing was ever pushed upon us. I just happen to be a granddaughter of the president." When she's not creating YouTube videos, Kai is an avid golfer and is set to join the golfing team at the University of Miami.

"I am super excited to be a Cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!" she shared on Instagram in 2024. "I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point. I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support."

Kai's golfing dream hit a speed bump in January when she was forced to undergo surgery on her wrist due to a sporting injury. "Today, I underwent left wrist surgery to address injuries to the stabilizing tissues of my ECU tendon and damage to my fibrocartilage complex," she wrote on social media.  

"The surgery was successfully performed at the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute by Dr Thomas Graham, Chief of Jefferson Orthopedics. I look forward to my rehab in the coming months. I am excited for the ability to play golf pain-free."
