Former President George W. Bush and his delightful wife, Laura, have some wonderful news to share about their growing family. Their daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, along with her husband, Craig Coyne, just welcomed a precious baby boy named Edward Finn Coyne. This blessed event adds a new chapter to the Bush family legacy, and George, at 78, shared his joy with the world, acknowledging the proud family tradition that Edward’s name upholds.
Barbara and Craig’s little bundle of joy, born on August 4, joins their happy family as the younger sibling to two-year-old Cora Georgia. This heartwarming addition brings new light and love into their lives. The couple shared a touching photo from the hospital, radiating joy as they held their newborn. George W. Bush captured the moment perfectly, expressing the immense joy and pride felt by grandparents all over: “Our newest blessing, Edward Finn Coyne, named in honor of his great-grandfathers, brings @laurawbush and me immense pride as grandparents once again. Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia!”
The name Edward Finn is more than just a name—it’s a tribute to the rich heritage of the Bush family. Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, who co-hosts the Today show, was first to delightfully share the news with her circle on August 5. Thrilled at the prospect of being an aunt once more, Jenna posted heartfelt pictures of herself with her nephew, affectionately describing her instant love for Edward Finn with the words, “My sister had a little mister, and I fell instantly in love with Edward Finn!” Her post included charming pictures of her lovingly holding her new nephew alongside a tender moment shared with Barbara cradling her son.
While Jenna limited specifics surrounding the birth, it was mentioned by Today.com that baby Edward was wearing a cap from NYU Langone Health, a hint Barbara might have delivered in this esteemed New York City hospital. This precious arrival comes a snug couple of years after the warm introduction of little Cora into the Bush family, when grandparents George and Laura were thrilled to start their new role with open hearts.
The Bush family couldn’t be happier with this new addition. George and Laura are embracing every new milestone with Edward Finn, welcoming him into their lives as a significant chapter in their family’s evolving story.
