President Donald Trump is set to become a grandfather for the ninth time as his son, Eric, and daughter-in-law, Lara, are expecting their first child together, the couple said.
The couple announced Monday they are expecting a son in September.
"@LaraLeaTrump & I are excited to announce that we are adding a boy to #TeamTrump in September," Eric Trump tweeted. "It's been an amazing year. We are blessed!"

The pair, both 33, first shared the news with People Magazine, telling the outlet that they found out they were going to be parents on Eric's birthday.
Now in her second trimester, Lara noted she's feeling much better than at the beginning of the pregnancy.
"It surprised me, because I'm a very active person, and until the fatigue hit, I didn't believe it would actually happen to me. It really affected me. But I'm feeling really good now," she told the magazine.
Other members of the Trump family took to social media to congratulate the couple, who wed at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, in November 2014.
