Eli Ricks missed out on seeing his crush, Ivanka Trump, visit the Eagles' facility, but she left him a note he can keep forever.

Ricks, who was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Eagles after the 2023 NFL draft, went viral for commenting on Ivanka's beauty when the Eagles took a trip to D.C. to visit the White House.

“Donald trump daughter is beautiful d**n,” Ricks posted via X last month.

He quickly followed up with a second tweet that read, “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”

The message must had made it to Ivanka who returned Ricks' compliment with a note attached to his locker.

“Stopped by to say hi!” Ivanka wrote. “Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!”

Ivanka also thanked Eagles executive Howie Roseman for letting her and her son Theo tour the facility.

“Thank you Howie Roseman, Big Dom and amazing team at the Philadelphia @Eagles for an epic tour of your incredible training facility today ! My son Theo and his flag football team had a day they will never forget!!” she wrote.

Jalen Hurts Skips White House Visit

While Ricks made headlines with his visit to the White House, the Eagles also caught attention for having their star player, Jalen Hurts, absent from the visit.

NBC News White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor  announced on April 28 that Hurts and others would not be in attendance due to “scheduling conflicts.”

“A White House official confirms to me that @Eagles quarterback @JalenHurts will not be visiting the White House when the Super Bowl champions come later this afternoon,” Alcindor  wrote in a post on X.

“The White House says Hurts and other players who can’t attend had ‘scheduling conflicts,'” she added.

Former Eagles star Malcom Jenkins, reacted to Hurts' declining President Trump's invitation.

“The team had framed the White House visit as optional,” Jenkins, who retired from the NFL in March 2022, wrote in a Substack post about the team's visit. “But leadership is never optional. When you’re the quarterback — the face of the team — your presence, or your absence, always says something. By choosing not to go, Jalen didn’t just make a personal decision. He made a public one.”
