Just a few days ago, the couple—with a 2-year-old daughter named Cora Georgia—welcomed their son Edward Finn into the world. Barbara and Craig are shown in the heartwarming picture holding their newborn son in a hospital bed.

Their faces are beaming with happiness as they give their son their undivided attention. “@laurawbush and I are proud grandparents of our newest blessing, born on August 4 and lovingly named in honour of his great-grandfathers,” the caption on the photo read. “Welcome to the world, Edward Finn Coyne.” “Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia deserve congratulations.”

On Monday, August 5, Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara’s twin sister, initially broke the good news. Co-anchor of the Today program Jenna posted on Instagram about how excited she was to be an aunt once more.

Jenna, 42, wrote, “My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! ❤️,” as the caption for a collection of pictures that showed the joyous occasions after Edward’s birth. In one of the photos, Jenna is shown tending to her new nephew, and in another, Jenna observes with admiration as Barbara holds Edward. Edward is shown in a third picture in the exhibition, sleeping soundly in his mother’s arms.

Despite Jenna’s lack of information on her nephew’s birth, the pictures show the family’s happiness. Notably, Today.com noted that Edward was spotted sporting a cap from NYU Langone Health, suggesting that Barbara might have given birth at the esteemed New York City hospital.

George W. Bush and his wife Laura have expressed their joy at becoming grandparents on previous occasions. The first lady and former president made a joint announcement to celebrate the birth of their daughter, Cora, together.

“With hearts full, With great pleasure, @laurawbush and I announce the birth of our beautiful granddaughter. In October 2021, they announced that 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. “We are happy and appreciative that Cora is healthy and adorable.”

The arrival of Edward Finn Coyne is a joyous occasion for the Bush family, adding another chapter to their rich family history. As they celebrate this new addition, the former president and first lady continue to cherish their roles as grandparents, providing love and support to their growing family.
