Chelsea Clinton was in a surprisingly gleeful mood on Wednesday, as she returned home after attending her mother's concession speech in New York City. 

The 36-year-old mother-of-two held hands with her husband Marc Mezvinsky as they walked into their apartment building after the speech, on a rainy fall day. 

Chelsea was set to be the first person in history to have two parents elected to be president. 

But those dreams were dashed early Wednesday morning, when Donald Trump - father of her friend Ivanka Trump - was declared the victor.

Chelsea was in the running to become the first person to ever have two parents as presidents, but that dream ended when Donald Trump won the election early Wednesday 

Chelsea has spent most of the past year helping her mother on the campaign trail, while juggling her life as a busy mom. She's pictured above leaving the New Yorker hotel on Wednesday

Chelsea has spent most of the past year helping her mother on the campaign trail, while juggling her life as a busy mom. 

Her eldest daughter Charlotte, was born just seven months before her mother announced her candidacy in April 2015. 

She gave birth to a second child, a son named Aidan, in June.

Chelsea's father Bill Clinton was president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. She lived in the White House for nearly all of his two terms, leaving in the final year to attend Stanford University in California.

In her concession speech, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thanked her family for all their hard work with the campaign. 

'To Bill and Chelsea, Mark, Charlotte, Aidan, our brothers and our entire family, my love for you means more than I can ever express.

'You crisscrossed this country, even 4-month-old Aidan, who traveled with his mom. I will always be grateful to the talented, dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country,' Sec. Clinton said. 

She also asked her supporters to give Trump 'an open mind and the chance to lead'.

Her voice broke when she addressed her female supporters directly, those who hoped to see her elected the first woman president.  

'I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday we will - and hopefully sooner than we might think right now,' she said.
