Yunaska is married to an American businessman Eric Trump. The duo reportedly started dating in 2008. They first met through mutual friends and bonded over the shared love for politics and charities.

The couple got engaged in July 2013 after Eric popped the question with a ring from his sister Ivanka Trump’s Jewelry line.

They exchanged wedding vows in 2014 in a large ceremony at Trump’s Mara-Lago in palm beach, Florida- the exact place where Donald married Melania in 2006.

Two years later, on August 19, 2019, they welcomed another child, Carolina Dorothy Trump.
