Former U.S. President George W. Bush, now 78, joyfully announced the arrival of his new grandson on social media. On Tuesday, August 6, Bush took to Instagram to share a heartwarming photo celebrating the birth of Edward Finn, the second child of his daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and her husband, Craig Coyne.
Barbara and Craig, who are already parents to a 2-year-old daughter named Cora Georgia, welcomed their son just a few days earlier. In the touching photo posted by Bush, the proud parents are seen cradling their newborn in a hospital bed, their faces beaming with joy as they lovingly gaze at their baby boy.
“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 captioned the post. He also congratulated Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia on the newest addition to their family.
The joyful news was first shared by Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, on Monday, August 5. Jenna, co-anchor on the Today show, expressed her excitement about 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 that captured precious moments following Edward’s birth. One photo shows Jenna feeding her new nephew, while another depicts Barbara holding Edward as Jenna looks on with admiration. A third photo features Edward resting peacefully in his mother’s arms.
Though Jenna didn’t provide additional details about Edward’s birth, the photos reveal the family’s happiness. Notably, Edward was seen wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, suggesting that Barbara may have given birth at the prestigious New York City hospital.
This marks another joyous occasion for George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, who have previously shared their excitement about grandparenthood. When Barbara and Craig’s daughter, Cora, was born, the former president and first lady released a joint statement celebrating the happy news.
“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 shared in October 2021. “Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful.”
What a wonderful new chapter for the Bush family!
