NEW YORK - Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump said today his wife, Melania, had given birth to a boy.

Trump announced the news in a telephone interview with the Imus in the Morning show, saying the couple had not yet chosen a name.

"Everyone's perfect," Trump said of his wife and new baby.

The 59-year-old entrepreneur and star of the NBC television show The Apprentice has three children with his first wife, Ivana Trump, and one with his second wife, Marla Maples.

He married Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model, in a lavish ceremony in Florida in January last year attended by a host of celebrities.

A spokeswoman at Trump's office confirmed Knauss had given birth but had no further details.

Trump was already famous as a property and casino mogul when he launched the hit show The Apprentice in 2003. In it, young contestants vie to show their business savvy and win a spot working on a Trump venture.
