Eric and Lara Trump are expecting their first child, they have announced - a ninth grandchild for President Donald Trump.

The couple, who found out on Eric Trump's birthday in January, said the president was so thrilled by the news they were worried he would announce their news for them.

“Eric’s dad was so excited,” said Mrs Trump, 34. “We were worried he’d blurt it out at a press conference.”

She told People magazine that she thought her 33-year-old husband would make a wonderful father. His older brother, Don Jr, has five children while his older sister, Ivanka, is a mother of three.
