Kai Trump has officially closed the chapter on high school, and one ESPN star made sure to send a personal shout-out her way.
The 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump graduated from The Benjamin School in Florida this week and is set to tee off at the University of Miami next fall as a member of the golf team. She shared the milestone on social media with a heartfelt post: "Graduated 🥹" and teased a new video.
While ESPN typically steers clear of politics, one of its rising social media talents has been building a friendly rapport with Kai Trump online. Katie Feeney, a digital creator for the network with 1.3 million Instagram followers, has been actively engaging with Kai's content. Feeney commented on Kai's graduation post with a simple but warm "Congrats!!" and even chimed in on prom photos, writing, "Red is your color! Gorgeous 😍."
Feeney joined ESPN in 2025 and has quickly become a key figure in the network's social and digital strategy. According to ESPN, she leads a refreshed approach to SportsCenter on Snapchat, which reaches over 9 million subscribers, and delivers vertical short-form video content for the enhanced ESPN App experience. She also makes weekly appearances on major shows like Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, and College GameDay.
Her role blends sports, culture, and lifestyle to create authentic, social-native storytelling. This personal connection with Kai Trump could hint at broader possibilities—maybe we're not far from seeing Kai Trump appear on ESPN in some capacity.
Kai's journey has been supported by her family, especially her mother, Vanessa Trump, who is currently battling breast cancer. Earlier this year, Kai called her mom the "strongest person I know" in a touching tribute. Vanessa Trump has also been in the spotlight due to her relationship with Tiger Woods, which has remained solid after the golf legend's recent rehab stint.
As Kai prepares to trade high school hallways for college fairways, the golf world—and now ESPN—will be watching closely.
