George W. Bush is joyfully embracing his expanding family!
At 78 years old, the former U.S. president recently took to social media to share the exciting news of his new grandson’s arrival. On Tuesday, August 6, Bush posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, congratulating his daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and her husband, Craig Coyne, on welcoming their second child.
The couple, already parents to a 2-year-old daughter named Cora Georgia, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, just days earlier.
In the heartwarming photo Bush shared, Barbara and Craig are seen cradling their newborn son in a hospital bed, their expressions filled with joy as they gaze lovingly at their new baby. “Welcome to the world, Edward Finn Coyne. @laurawbush and I are proud grandparents of our newest blessing, born on August 4 and lovingly named in honor of his great-grandfathers,” Bush wrote in the caption. “Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia.”
The joyful news was initially shared by Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, on Monday, August 5. Jenna, who co-anchors the Today show, expressed her delight at becoming an aunt again in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! ❤️💗👼,” Jenna, 42, captioned a series of photos capturing the special moments after Edward’s birth. One photo shows Jenna feeding her new nephew, while another features Barbara holding Edward with Jenna looking on in admiration. A third picture in the gallery captures Edward resting peacefully in his mother’s arms.
Though Jenna didn’t provide additional details about her nephew’s birth, the photos offer a glimpse into the family’s joy. A hat from NYU Langone Health worn by Edward, as noted by Today.com, suggests that Barbara may have given birth at the prestigious New York City hospital.
This is not the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have expressed their excitement about becoming grandparents. When Barbara and Craig’s daughter, Cora, was born, the former president and first lady shared their joy in a joint statement.
“With full hearts, @laurawbush and I are delighted to announce the birth of our new granddaughter. Barbara gave birth to Cora Georgia Coyne on September 27, 2021, in Maine – not far from our family home where Barbara and Craig were married,” they announced in October 2021. “Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful.”
What a beautiful addition to the Bush family!
