Donald Trump’s son Eric and his wife Lara have announced the birth of their baby son.
34-year-old Lara shared a photo of her new arrival on Instagram and revealed his name.
Following in the Trump tradition, the little boy was named after his father Eric but the couple have decided to go by his middle name Luke.
“Happy birthday Luke”, the new mum gushed. “We are so proud and blessed to be your parents”.
Proud dad Eric followed up with a snap of his own of the newborn swaddled up fast asleep, writing: “Little Luke”.
Eric took to Twitter to reveal that Luke arrived at 8:50 am yesterday morning.
“LaraLeaTrump and I are excited to announce the birth of our son, Eric "Luke" Trump at 8:50 this morning,” he wrote.
He also posted a photo of himself placing a kiss on the tiny tot’s head.
This is the couple’s first child together and President Donald Trump’s ninth grandchild.
