LARA Trump started as a pastry chef years before the Republican darling took on hosting her own Fox News show.

After Lara, 42, resigned from the prestigious position in December, she’ll now be hosting her own weekend show on Fox News.

The show, called My View with Lara Trump, is a return to her TV roots as the working mom previously starred on the network as a Fox News contributor.

But before her career on the silver screen ever began, Lara began in a world far from politics as a culinary star.

The North Carolina native earned a degree in pastry arts from the French Culinary Institute in New York, according to Town & Country Magazine.

While living in New York City, she met Eric Trump at a nightclub in March 2008.

The couple tied the knot at the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida six years later.

After working as a chef and a personal trainer on the side, Lara started in the TV field as a story coordinator and producer at Inside Edition in 2012.

Then, in 2016, she put her associate producer position to hit the campaign trail for her father-in-law alongside Eric.

“I wasn’t going to have the time to adequately dedicate to this,” Lara told local Wilmington paper Port City Daily at the time.

“When they’re reporting on your family on the show you work for, it’s a little challenging.

“We managed to keep everything pretty even-keeled for the duration of this whole thing, but certainly it’s nice to not have to worry about that from day to day,” she said.

After Donald beat out Hillary Clinton in 2016, Lara was active in the White House and eventually worked on Donald’s 2020 re-election campaign.

The mom-of-two then joined Fox News as a contributor in March 2021, but stepped down when Donald announced his re-election bid in 2022.

She’s now returning to the network with her own show, which premieres on Saturday night.
