In an unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump shared some surprising personal news during a public appearance.
According to the New York Post, Trump revealed that his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, is expecting a child.
The 45th president made the announcement while mentioning Tiffany's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, who was present in the audience. During his speech, Trump took a moment to acknowledge Boulos, describing him as the father of Tiffany's husband, Michael.
He then proceeded to share the news about his daughter's pregnancy, catching many off guard with the personal information. The audience responded positively to the news, with cheers erupting following Trump's announcement.
Tiffany Trump, the only child from Trump's marriage to his second wife, Marla Maples, has generally maintained a lower profile compared to her half-siblings during her father's political career. At 30 years old, she has occasionally stepped into the political spotlight but has largely remained out of the public eye.
In November 2022, Tiffany married Michael Boulos at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort. The couple had been dating since 2018, and their wedding marked a significant personal milestone for the Trump family.
Despite her typically low-key presence, Tiffany has made some notable appearances in support of her father's political endeavors. In 2020, she spoke at the Republican National Convention, and she also attended this year's GOP gathering in Milwaukee.
With this announcement, Trump's grandchild count is set to increase. The former president already has ten grandchildren, with his sons Donald Jr. and Eric having five and two children respectively, while his daughter Ivanka has three children with her husband, Jared Kushner.
The exact due date for Tiffany's baby was not disclosed during Trump's announcement. This addition to the family will mark Tiffany's first child and add to the growing number of Trump grandchildren.
Trump expressed his happiness about the news, describing both Tiffany and her husband Michael as exceptional young people. He stated:
And she's an exceptional young woman. And she's going to have a baby. So that's nice.
Michael Boulos, Tiffany's husband, comes from a family with international business ties. His father, Massad Boulos, who was present at Trump's speech, was born in Lebanon and runs Boulos Enterprises, a Nigeria-based company that deals in mechanical equipment and motorcycles.
The presence of Massad Boulos at the event where Trump made the announcement highlights the intertwining of family and business in the Trump circle, a characteristic that has been prominent throughout Trump's political career.
Donald Trump's surprise announcement of his daughter Tiffany's pregnancy during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club has added a new chapter to the Trump family story. The revelation, made during a political event, showcases the intertwining of personal and public life that has characterized much of Trump's career.
