George W. Bush welcomes grandson named in honor of great-grandfathers

George W. Bush is celebrating his growing family!

The former United States president, now 78, proudly announced the arrival of his new grandson on social media.

On Tuesday, August 6, Bush shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram to congratulate his daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and her husband, Craig Coyne, on the birth of their second child.

The couple, who are already parents to a 2-year-old daughter named Cora Georgia, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, into the world just a few days earlier.

In the touching photo, Barbara and Craig can be seen cradling their newborn son in a hospital bed, their faces glowing with joy as they gaze lovingly 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 wrote in his caption. “Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia.”

The happy news was first shared by Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, on Monday, August 5. Jenna, who is a co-anchor on the Today show, took to Instagram to express her excitement about becoming an aunt again.

“My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! ❤️💗👼,” Jenna, 42, captioned a series of photos that captured the special moments following Edward’s birth. In one of the pictures, Jenna is seen feeding her new nephew, while another shows Barbara holding Edward as Jenna watches on with admiration. A third photo in the gallery features Edward resting peacefully in his mother’s arms.

Although Jenna did not provide further details about her nephew’s birth, the photos offer a glimpse of the family’s joy. Notably, Edward was seen wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, as pointed out by Today.com, indicating that Barbara may have given birth at the renowned New York City hospital.

This isn’t the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have shared their excitement about becoming grandparents. When Barbara and Craig’s daughter, Cora, was born, the former president and first lady released a joint statement to announce 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 lovely addition to the Bush family!
