They posted on social media that the baby is due in September, saying: "It's been an amazing year. We are blessed!"

Eric revealed in an interview with People magazine that they are expecting a boy, but said the couple have not decided on a name yet.

Lara Trump also told the magazine: "[Eric's] dad is so excited that we were worried he'd blurt it out at a press conference."

Eric confirmed the couple's pregnancy news on his Twitter account.
