George W. Bush is excited about his growing family!
The 78-year-old former U.S. president happily announced the birth of his new grandson on social media.
On Tuesday, August 6, Bush shared a sweet photo on Instagram to congratulate his daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and her husband, Craig Coyne, on welcoming their second child.
The couple, who already have a 2-year-old daughter named Cora Georgia, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, a few days ago.
In a sweet photo, Barbara and Craig are seen holding their newborn son in a hospital bed, their faces full of joy as they look at their baby boy. Bush captioned the photo, “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. Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia.”
Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, was the first to share the happy news on Monday, August 5. Jenna, who is a co-anchor on the Today show, posted on Instagram, saying how excited she was to become an aunt again.
“My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! ❤️💗👼,” Jenna, 42, wrote, sharing a series of photos from the special moments after Edward’s birth. One photo shows Jenna feeding her new nephew, another captures Barbara holding Edward while Jenna watches with admiration, and a third picture shows Edward peacefully resting in his mother’s arms.
While Jenna didn’t give more details about her nephew’s birth, the photos show how happy the family is. Edward was wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, which suggests Barbara might have had him at that well-known New York City hospital.
This isn’t the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have shared their joy about becoming grandparents. When Barbara and Craig’s daughter, Cora, was born, they also made 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, close to our family home where Barbara and Craig were married,” they shared in October 2021. “Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful.”
What a wonderful addition to the Bush family!
