Eric Trump and his wife, Lara, have welcomed a baby boy to the family!

Eric posted the good news that Lara gave birth to the couple's first child, Eric "Luke" Trump, on Tuesday morning.

The couple announced they were expecting in March.

The little one marks nine grandchildren for President Donald Trump, as Eric’s brother, Donald Jr., has five children, and his sister, Ivanka, has three.

Both Eric's siblings welcomed the new baby to the family with congratulatory Twitter posts on Tuesday.

Eric is the third-oldest of Trump's five children. Coincidentally, he found out on his 33rd birthday, Jan. 6, that Lara was pregnant.

"Eric’s dad was so excited that we were worried he’d blurt it out at a press conference," Lara Trump told People.

The couple was married in 2014 at the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Lara is a former “Inside Edition” producer now involved with multiple animal charities, while Eric is an executive vice president of the Trump Organization.
