Jared Kushner's brother is breaking his political silence following Trump's election - here's everything we know about the millionaire entrepreneur who's dating model Karlie Kloss
Joshua Kushner rose to prominence as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist in his twenties.
Karlie Kloss, meanwhile, has been working as a model since her teen years.
Kloss skyrocketed to prominence in 2007, when she was just 15 years old. By 2010, she was a big enough name to appear on "Gossip Girl" as herself. (Ironically, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also appeared on the show in 2010, though it was in a different episode.)
The model has made headlines due to her close friendship with Taylor Swift. In 2015, Kloss started Kode With Klossy, a charity to encourage girls to get involved in coding and tech.
Recently, Kushner has kept a low profile in comparison to his brother Jared.
Kushner told Forbes in April 2017 that he and Jared speak every day. He and Ivanka are apparently so close that he refers to her as his sister.
In 2014, the brothers founded real-estate crowdfunding startup Cadre together, along with the company's current CEO, Ryan Williams. Jared was criticized for neglecting to disclose his stake in Cadre in government financial-disclosure forms in 2017.
Kushner attended the Women's March in Washington, DC, the weekend of Trump's inauguration.
Kushner told other marchers he was there to observe, The Washingtonian reported.
After Trump's election, Kushner told companies he did not have personal ties with the Trump administration.
According to Forbes, Kushner held one-on-one meetings with nearly 100 employees at Thrive and two startups he was incubating after the election.
"Josh went around to me and presumably every company and said, 'I have no personal ties to this administration. I'm not responsible for their actions and won't be able to get you special favors,' " Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield told Forbes. "'Just consider me the same person who invested in your company — there is no connection, either good or bad.'"
Still, don't expect Kloss or Kushner to speak out against Trump publicly.
Kloss refused to comment on her relationship — or Kushner's relationship — with the White House when she was interviewed by The New York Times in March.
"My relationship has nothing to do with this interview," Kloss said, as quoted in an article on her work with teenage girls and coding.
