New mum Ivanka Trump has revealed the inspiration for her baby's name, Arabella Rose.

The designer told American TV show Today: “I have always loved the name Arabella, and Jared’s grandmothers had names beginning with an A and an R.

"We wanted to pay a subtle homage to those two strong and wonderful women while also adopting a name that was very unique.

"Plus, we thought that the initials — ARK — were cool!”

The heiress and Celebrity Apprentice star is also discovering the bittersweet nature of motherhood:

“The most fun part of being a mother so far is watching Arabella grow and experience different things every day; It is also the hardest part though!”

“I feel like she will be out of the house and off to college before Jared and I know it.”

The 29-year-old added: “It is easy to want to talk on the phone or read the paper while feeding a baby, but taking a break and enjoying those everyday moments is extremely rewarding."
