George W. Bush is celebrating the joyful expansion of his family with the arrival of his new grandson, Edward Finn Coyne. The 78-year-old former president took to social media on August 6 to share the wonderful news, posting a heartfelt picture of his daughter Barbara Pierce Bush and her husband Craig Coyne with their newborn son.
Edward, who was born on August 4, joins his older sister, Cora Georgia, who is two years old. In the touching Instagram post, Bush shared a photo of Barbara and Craig in a hospital bed, gazing lovingly at their new son, along with a caption that expressed their pride in becoming grandparents once again. He noted that Edward was named in honor of his great-grandfathers, reflecting a cherished family legacy.
Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara’s twin sister and co-anchor of the Today show, first announced the happy news on August 5, expressing her excitement about becoming an aunt again. She shared a series of images capturing the special moments following Edward’s birth, including one where she is lovingly holding her nephew and another of Barbara cradling Edward while Jenna looks on with joy.
Though Jenna didn’t provide specific details about the birth, the photos showcased the family’s happiness. It appears that Barbara may have given birth at NYU Langone Health in New York City, as indicated by a cap Edward was seen wearing in one of the pictures.
This is not the first time George and Laura Bush have expressed their joy over their grandchildren. They previously shared their excitement when Cora Georgia was born in September 2021, expressing their gratitude for her health and happiness. The Bush family continues to celebrate these new additions, reflecting the love and joy that comes with family growth.
