The first grandchild of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was born in Houston recently, according to media reports from the neighboring country.

The baby boy was named Salomón Andrés López Adams.

The mother, Carolyn Adams, moved to The Woodlands area last September. The father is José Ramón López Beltrán, a son of López Obrador and his late first wife, Rocío Beltrán Medina.

Reports indicate that Adams, 35, is half American from her father’s side and her mother is Brazilian. The president’s daughter-in-law was living in Mexico since 2016. She works for a Monterrey-based firm that provides services in the oil and gas industry.

López Beltrán, 38, is a businessman born in Tabasco. He owns a cocoa plantation and an artisanal chocolate factory in Mexico together with his two older brothers. He has a third brother from the marriage of the Mexican president and his current wife, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller.

A tweet published Tuesday in what appears to be López Beltrán’s account shows a photo of him holding a baby whose head is disguised with an emoji. A message in the tweet says: “I will not deny it, I am extremely happy for all this that has happened to me."
