When Kellyanne Conway became well-known as the Senior Counselor to Donald Trump, her relationship with her teenage daughter Claudia Conway quickly took center stage. Kellyanne and George Conway have four children: daughters Claudia, Vanessa, and Charlotte, and a son named George. However, Claudia is definitely the most famous.
In 2020, the world saw shocking videos of Kellyanne and Claudia Conway that the high schooler posted on TikTok. The allegations were serious, and the situation was difficult to read about. Now that some time has passed since countless news stories focused on Kellyanne and Claudia Conway, things might be very different between them. Here’s whether the mother and daughter have a better relationship in 2023.
Do Kellyanne Conway And Her Daughter Claudia Conway Get Along Now?
Back in 2020, it was hard to ignore the videos that Claudia Conway shared of Kellyanne Conway yelling at her. However, those videos are no longer available, and it doesn’t seem like Kellyanne Conway publicly responded to what her daughter posted online, either.
In the years since those TikToks, there have been no further reports of conflict or tension between the mother and daughter. In fact, they have both spoken about how well they have gotten along since then. It does seem like all of that is now in the past.
In an interview with Bustle in December 2022, Claudia Conway talked about Kellyanne and said that they had spoken to a therapist. It sounds like that allowed them to work through their problems.
Kellyanne emailed Bustle for the article and explained that she and her daughter were able to have conversations about politics. This was important since Claudia has been honest about the fact that she has different opinions than her mother does.
Kellyanne said in the email, “It’s a great example of how in this country you can embrace conflict or engage in conversation. Claudia and I recognize that we agree on plenty, because we’ve talked about it. I wish more families, friends, and Americans would.”
Claudia told Bustle that she and Kellyanne were getting along better. She said, “Our relationship is great now.”
She also explained, “I’m not going to talk about my mom’s trauma because it’s her story, not mine. But when you have trauma that you have held onto for, let’s say, 40 years of your life, and you have children, it is so hard to not pass that down to them.”
In the past three years, Kellyanne Conway has defended Claudia publicly from time to time. This also suggests that things are okay between them.
In May 2023, Kellyanne was interviewed by The Hill and she talked about how tough it was when the press kept writing about Claudia’s social media images. Kellyanne explained Claudia was “doing what a lot of teenage girls do. Posting pictures, having fun with her friends, pushing back on authority, including mom and dad, expressing her political and cultural views. All of which I’ve always encouraged for all four of my children. I want them to be their own people, independent thinkers.”
According to People, in the summer of 2022, Claudia Conway shared on TikTok that she is queer. In the email that she sent to Bustle, Kellyanne showed her daughter love. She wrote, “She’s loved unconditionally and she’s supported unequivocally, no matter who she loves.”
When she was interviewed by Bustle in 2022, Claudia was living in Alpine along with her grandma and George, who is her twin. It’s unclear if that is still her living situation. She doesn’t share many details on her Instagram account, and it looks like she has removed comments. This makes sense given the attention that she has gotten.
While Claudia doesn’t post photos of Kellyanne on social media, she often posts pictures from the places that she travels to, and travel seems to be a big interest of hers. In August 2023, she was in Chicago, and in June 2023, she spent time in South Beach, Miami. She travels internationally as well. In January 2023, she was in Rome.
What Are Kellyanne And Claudia Conway Doing Today?
Claudia Conway is 18 years now and making decisions about her next steps in life. A few months ago, she explained that she was going to post photos of herself on the Playboy website. The Daily Mail reported that people can pay $99 or $5 for Claudia’s images.
According to People, she posted on Twitter about the reason behind this choice. She tweeted, “When I was 15-16, I was exploited by the media, preyed upon, and was forced into portraying myself as something I wasn’t. my body was taken from me. Now, as a young adult, i am aiming to reclaim my womanhood and femininity in a way that is truly mine.”
“I am putting myself out there in a way that is MY OWN and no one else’s. i have full control of my body and my voice. i believe in writing your own narrative, like I’ve said in the past, and taking back what was once unjustly taken from you.”
As for Claudia’s mother Kellyanne Conway, she and Claudia’s father George Conway are still going through the process of getting divorced.
According to People, Kellyanne said, “We are in the final stages of an amicable divorce. We married more than two decades ago, cherish the many happy years (and four corgis) we’ve shared, and above all else, our four incredible children, who remain the heartbeat of our family and our top priority.”
Kellyanne has also been active on TV. She is often interviewed on Fox News and talks about her political opinions.
In 2022, her book “Here’s The Deal” was published. She wrote about her political career and also touched on the effect that her time in the spotlight had on her family members. According to The New York Post, Kellyanne shared in the memoir that it was tough to watch Claudia get so much attention as a result of Kellyanne working for Trump. She wrote that she was dealing with “Terror for Claudia’s safety. Instant fame brings instant chaos as I well know.”
