George W. Bush, the 78-year-old former U.S. president, is celebrating the expansion of his family with the arrival of a new grandson. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Bush shared the joyous news of the birth of his second grandchild, expressing his pride and happiness. His daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and her husband, Craig Coyne, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, on Tuesday, August 6. The couple, already parents to a 2-year-old daughter, Cora Georgia, are shown in a touching photo with their newborn son in the hospital.
A Family Celebration
The photo, which captures Barbara and Craig gazing lovingly at their newborn, highlights the family’s excitement. In the caption, George W. Bush wrote, “@laurawbush and I are proud grandparents of our newest blessing, born on August 4 and lovingly named in honour of his great-grandfathers. Welcome to the world, Edward Finn Coyne.” He went on to congratulate Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia, expressing his joy over the new addition to their family.
Jenna Bush Hager Shares the Joy
Just a day before George W. Bush’s announcement, Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara’s twin sister and co-anchor of Today, shared the happy news on her Instagram. Jenna, 42, expressed her excitement about becoming an aunt again, writing, “My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn!” She posted a series of photos celebrating the birth, including one of her holding her new nephew and another of Barbara lovingly gazing at Edward. In a third photo, Edward is peacefully sleeping in his mother’s arms, showcasing the warmth and happiness surrounding his arrival.
A Special Connection to NYU Langone Health
The pictures shared by Jenna offer a glimpse of the family’s joy, though there was little detail about the birth itself. However, it was noted that Edward Finn was wearing a cap from NYU Langone Health, suggesting that Barbara may have given birth at the renowned New York City hospital. This little detail added a personal touch to the family’s announcement, reflecting the care and attention surrounding the birth.
Previous Grandparent Announcements
This is not the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have celebrated the arrival of a grandchild. In October 2021, the couple announced the birth of their granddaughter, Cora Georgia Coyne, born on September 27, 2021, in Maine. George and Laura shared their joy, saying, “With hearts full, with great pleasure, @laurawbush and I announce the birth of our beautiful granddaughter. We are happy and appreciative that Cora is healthy and adorable.” This announcement, made just a few months after Barbara and Craig’s wedding, marked another milestone in the Bush family’s growing legacy.
The Bush family’s joy over the arrival of Edward Finn is a heartwarming reminder of the love and connection that continues to thrive within their family, as they celebrate both new beginnings and the enduring bonds that tie them together.
