The baby news means President Trump will have nine grandchildren including Donald Trump Jr.’s five children and Ivanka’s three. “We found out on my birthday, which was pretty cool,” Eric Trump told _People._ His birthday is Jan. 6, just a few weeks before his dad was inaugurated as the 45th President. Lara, who [married Eric](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/eric-trump-marries-lara-yunaska-palm-beach-wedding-article-1.2004472 "undefined") at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2014, said the pregnancy initially made her full run-down, but she’s feeling “really good” now. “I knew I always wanted kids someday,” Lara told _People_, adding that she’s also excited to see Eric take on his new role of fatherhood. “He’s the cool uncle. He’s watched _Frozen_ many times.” The expectant parents still don’t know what they’re going to name their little one. “We really loved the name Charlie, but we’d already named our dog that so it’s out,” Eric said. \[[_People_](http://people.com/breaking-news/eric-and-lara-trump-expecting-their-first-baby/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4706731/trump-son-expecting-first-baby/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4706731/trump-son-expecting-first-baby/"},"headline":"President Trump Is Going to Be a Grandpa, Again","datePublished":"2017-03-20T16:06:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:55:47.186Z","description":"Eric Trump and his wife Lara are expecting a baby boy","url":"https://time.com/4706731/trump-son-expecting-first-baby/","keywords":["celebrities","White House","Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt66dec417a5cec62a/6988bf06cd1bbaa2517045dc/eric-lara-trump-first-baby-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt66dec417a5cec62a/6988bf06cd1bbaa2517045dc/eric-lara-trump-first-baby-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"eric lara trump first baby donald trump","caption":"eric lara trump first baby donald trump","creditText":"MANDEL NGAN—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4706731/trump-son-expecting-first-baby/","name":"President Trump Is Going to Be a Grandpa, Again"}}]}] ```
