Kai Trump recalls ‘a lot of crying’ with mom Vanessa before college amid breast cancer battle

FOX EXCLUSIVE: Kai Trump is opening up about the emotional days she spent with her mother, Vanessa Trump, before college amid Vanessa’s breast cancer battle.

Speaking to Fox News Digital from the University of Miami on Tuesday, the 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump said she and her mother became especially emotional in the week before she began her freshman year.

"There was definitely, there was a lot of crying in like the week leading up," Kai Trump said.

"We would just be driving, and then we'd just start crying together." Vanessa Trump revealed in May that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was working with her medical team on a treatment plan.

"My mom, she’s doing a lot better," Kai said.

"Kind of after treatment, she wasn’t feeling very good.

Just like how treatment will make you feel … but she’s getting a lot better now." Kai Trump said her mother’s diagnosis gave them an opportunity to spend considerably more time together over the summer — time the competitive golfer said she otherwise may have spent on the course.

She described that extra time together as a "blessing in disguise." "I was able to spend extra time with her that I would normally probably spend on the golf course," Kai Trump said.

"It was nice to spend those extra hours with her throughout the day before going to college ." Kai Trump said being relatively close to home has helped make the college transition easier and reassured her that her mother is never far away.

"So it's very sweet, but I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

And yeah, I mean, she's very excited for me as well." Now beginning her freshman year at the University of Miami, Kai Trump is also settling into everyday college life.

Although she was only a few days into the semester when she spoke with Fox News Digital, she said one class had already stood out.
