Eric and Lara are also parents to son Luke, who was born in September 2017. Ahead of Carolina's arrival, Lara spoke to HELLO! about how her pregnancy had been made extra-special by her trip to London with father-in-law US President Donald Trump during his state visit. "Knowing that one day I'll tell this baby about the adventure overseas and all that happened while in my belly made everything all the more meaningful," she said. "I can assure you that I never dreamed that I'd have the opportunity to visit Buckingham Palace, meet the Queen and the royal family and attend a State Dinner — it was an unforgettable few days."
