The Context
Tiffany Trump, 31, is one of President Donald Trump's five children. Her mother is Marla Maples, who was Trump's second wife.
The president announced his youngest daughter's pregnancy to the public last October while he was running for the presidency as the Republican nominee.
"She's an exceptional young woman," Donald Trump said while delivering a speech at the Detroit Economic Club. "And she's going to have a baby. So that's nice."

What To Know
Alexander Trump Boulos' name is a combination of parts parents' names. Tiffany's husband is Michael Alexander Boulos, and in some families, parents choose to use the mother's maiden name as a middle name for the child.
Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, is a Lebanese-American business magnate who serves as the president's senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Boulos was an ardent backer of Trump's 2024 campaign, making frequent appearances on Lebanese television to stump for the Republican presidential nominee.
He also helped Trump on the campaign trail in the U.S. and met during the campaign with at least one foreign official: Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority. Boulos told The New York Times that the meeting was "purely personal."
What People Are Saying
Tiffany's half-sister, first daughter Ivanka Trump, shared photos from her baby shower last month on X, formerly Twitter, writing: "This Sunday, I had so much fun hosting a Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower for my sweet sister Tiffany! We showered her with love and had the best time celebrating her and baby-to-be!
"Every detail was inspired by Beatrix Potter's world—from bunny tails to garden treats—to celebrate the little boy she's about to welcome into her life. It was the sweetest day—filled with so much love, laughter, and excitement for everything ahead. Tiff, you're going to be the most wonderful mama. Your baby boy is already so loved—and so lucky to have you!"
What Happens Next
Republicans recently introduced a Trump-backed proposal to create "MAGA" (Money Account for Growth and Advancement) accounts—tax-advantaged savings plans—for children.
The proposal is included in the "big, beautiful bill" that Trump and Republicans are currently trying to push through Congress. If it goes through, the baby will be eligible for $1,000.
