There’s a new bundle of joy on the way!
Ivanka Trump has announced she and hubby Jared Kushner were pregnant with their third child via an incredibly sweet photo of Trump with their first two children, Arabella, 4, and Joseph, 23 months.
The couple, married for about six years, have become the darling of the New York society scene. But for every gala photo of them floating on the Internet, there’s just as many photos of them being a normal family.

“I always shied away from it being a public conversation because it’s such a personal thing. We’re pretty observant, more than some, less than others. I just feel like it’s such an intimate thing for us. It’s been such a great life decision for me.

I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity.”
