‘I'm going to go home and see that little baby': Trump becomes grandpa for the 11th time as Tiffany welcomes baby Alexander
Donald Trump had business on his mind and a baby on the way.
Standing beside UAE Crown Prince Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during a high-profile investment meet on Friday, Trump briefly stepped out of his boardroom persona to share a personal update: he had just become a grandfather, for the 11th time.
'I should probably have left yesterday, but I didn't want to disappoint you. Your father would have been extremely upset,' Trump joked to the Crown Prince, before adding, 'I'm going to go home and see that little baby. She's doing great, the baby's great.'
His youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, 31, had just given birth to a baby boy,
Alexander Trump Boulos
, in the United States on May 15. It's her first child with husband Michael Boulos, 27, a Nigerian-Lebanese businessman whom she married at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
Tiffany announced the arrival with a tender post on X, sharing a close-up of her newborn's foot and writing:
'Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives! 5.15.2025.'
The expanding Trump family tree
With Alexander's arrival, the Trump family now includes 11 grandchildren, stretching from toddlers to teenagers, and each with their own growing public profiles.
Donald Trump Jr, the former president's eldest son, has five children with ex-wife Vanessa:
Kai Madison Trump (b. 2007) – A teen golfer who wowed crowds at the 2024 Republican National Convention, describing Trump as 'just a normal grandpa' who sneaks candy and soda past their parents.
Donald Trump III (b. 2009)
Tristan Milos Trump (b. 2011), once hailed by his father on Instagram as 'the best little man ever'
Spencer Frederick Trump (b. 2012)
Chloe Sophia Trump (b. 2014)
Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner have three children:
Arabella Rose Kushner (b. 2011), who celebrated her bat mitzvah last year and is into singing, piano, horseback riding, and jujitsu.
Joseph Frederick Kushner (b. 2013)
Theodore James Kushner (b. 2016)
Eric Trump and wife Lara have two children:
Eric 'Luke' Trump (b. 2017)
Carolina Dorothy Trump (b. 2019)
And now, Tiffany's baby Alexander rounds out the clan, the first Trump-Boulos child and perhaps the youngest potential heir to the Trump legacy.
'The grandpa-in-chief'
Trump has often played up his image as a doting grandfather.
In speeches, he references his grandkids' schoolwork and sports. On the campaign trail, he has joked that 'they get away with murder' when he's around.
With a 12th grandchild potentially not far off, especially as Trump eyes another term in the White House, the Trump family tree is growing in more ways than one.
'Family is everything,' Trump said earlier this year. 'They're my pride. And they're watching everything I do.'

Did Trump invoke the Insurrection Act in Los Angeles amid protests? What Marines' mobilization means
After President Donald Trump reportedly deployed about 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid protests on Monday, claims about the Insurrection Act being invoked surfaced on social media. Marines being mobilized in California marks another escalation in Trump's response to anti-ICE street protests over his aggressive immigration policies. A US official told Reuters and AP that a Marine battalion would be sent on temporary duty until more National Guard troops could reach the scene. Marines have previously only been deployed domestically for major disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the September 11, 2001, attacks. The Trump administration has yet to confirm the nature of the latest deployment. Read More: Los Angeles protests: California governor Newsom to sue Trump admin over National Guard deployment According to Reuters, the Trump administration is not invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement. The official added that the situation was fluid and could change. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a US federal law that empowers the president to deploy military forces domestically to suppress insurrections, rebellions, or domestic violence that hinder law enforcement or obstruct federal authority. The president can deploy active-duty military or federalized National Guard to: Suppress an insurrection against a state, upon the governor's request. Restore order when a rebellion obstructs federal law execution. Protect civil rights or quell domestic violence if state authorities fail to do so. Read More: Los Angeles protests: 'Incendiary devices' hurled at police horses, says LAPD The president has broad authority to determine when conditions warrant deployment, requiring only a proclamation to disperse. No congressional approval is needed, though the Posse Comitatus Act (1878) generally limits military law enforcement roles unless authorized. The Act was invoked in 1808 against a Lake Champlain smuggling ring and in 1832 during South Carolina's Nullification Crisis. Presidents Eisenhower (1957, Little Rock) and Kennedy (1962–63, Mississippi and Alabama) used it to enforce desegregation against state resistance.
