Lara Trump has revealed the unusual tactic that Eric Trump used to woo her when they very first met.

President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law shared the story on New York Post columnist Miranda Devine’s “Pod Force One” podcast, recalling how she met her future husband during a night out in New York City in March 2008. At the time, she had recently moved to the city to attend culinary school.

Most men, she said, tried to impress her by suggesting they cook together, given what she was studying.

Eric Trump, though, whom she didn’t initially realize was part of the Trump family, opted for a different icebreaker, she said.

“He looked at me and he grabbed my stomach, and he goes, ‘Wow, you’re too skinny for any of your food to taste good. You must be a horrible chef,’” the former Republican National Committee co-chair recalled.

“And I was like, ‘Oh, well that’s different.’ And so that caught me. That was the intro, and here we are. I guess it worked out,” she added.
