Hugh Jackman recently celebrated his 50th - yes, 50th - birthday, and one big name on the guest list surprised some: Ivanka Trump, first daughter-slash-special adviser to President DonaldTrump, and onetime member of the Manhattan glitterati.
Trump, along with husband and fellow West Winger Jared Kushner, were among the famous
faces toasting Wolverine at Urban Zen, designer Donna Karan's store in the West Village.
Other big names in the building for cake and candles included Aussie actresses Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. Heads turned when Javanka entered the room, according to Page Six, but a source said: "there was no snubbing. Everyone was polite."
Thing is, the two couples have been friends for years. The "X-Men" star once referred to the heiress and businesswoman as his "lovely friend," and Trump has been spotted at the Aussie couple's New York apartment.
As far back as 2011, Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, popped up for a photo op at Ivanka's now-shuttered jewelry store. Later that same week, Trump and Kushner were spotted at Jackman's one-man show "Back to Broadway."
