Tiffany Trump posted a photo of her baby — and a lot of people had the same comment
World, meet ATB. Those are the initials of the first family's newest member: Alexander Trump Boulous. On Friday, Tiffany Trump posted an Instagram picture of her first child, a baby boy with husband Michael Boulous, who was born in Palm Beach. She announced his birth on May 15 with a photo of his little foot. The Georgetown Law grad, Donald Trump's daughter with second wife Marla Maples, shared a few more recent snaps of the wee one, who has a shock of reddish-brown hair and wide, blue eyes. 'The love of our lives,' said the caption of the newborn, whose middle name is apparently mom's maiden name. A big theme among the 31-year-old's followers? Amid the mix of compliments and insults from obvious trolls, many thought ATB bore a striking resemblance to another member of the family. That would be his grandfather, the leader of the free world, who now has 11 grandkids in total. 'He looks like Grandpa.' 'Your son is the carbon copy of your dad.' 'I see it too. All of the Trump grandsons look similar.' 'He has eyes like his papaw.'

Inside CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba's newest grill bar concept
Roll out the red carpet for we have a new chip on the block. CHAR is the latest venture by homegrown, Emirati-owned concept Around The Block, known and loved for its high-quality, handcrafted specialty coffee and a new avatar with every opening. The latest transformation is all about flames and fire-fuelled flavours, drawing inspiration from global classics and pairing it with a Dubai story. Located in the brand new Nad Al Sheba Mall, the space offers, a sleek, minimal experience, stripped down to bare brown tiles, smooth wooden furniture, low yellow lighting and the centre of all the action – the exposed grill, firing up your dishes for you. The grilled varieties come from all parts of the world, incorporating Asian and Middle Eastern influences – perhaps the hotbeds of open-flame cooking. Think chicken shawarma, chicken tikka, tenderloin, sea bass and more, all flame-kissed and served with a variety of cold plates and sides designed to complement the depth of smoke and char with bright, light flavours. Everything is bold, refreshing, rich and packs an indulgent punch. What's new? The space functions in a unique way – by day it is the Around The Block we all know and love, serving specialty coffees, comfort dining and that light, daytime atmosphere. After 2pm is when the heat and speed picks up, and CHAR is brought to life. You start with freshly-baked bread, finish with smoky, specialty non-alcoholic drinks, savoury tender meats and a fitting end – something sweet. It's the perfect day-to-night transformation, much like ATB's other concepts – The Kitchen by Around The Block in Wasl 51, and TŌRI at Al Khawaneej Walk, turning into a modern Japanese eatery in a Cinderella-esque fashion. CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba Mall, now open, daily, 7am to 2pm, 2pm till late, @charconcept, @aroundtheblock Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
