Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, are celebrating a new addition to their family, as their daughter Barbara Pierce Bush and her husband, Craig Coyne, welcomed a baby boy, Edward Finn Coyne, on August 4.
This marks the second child for Barbara and Craig, whose two-year-old daughter, Cora Georgia, now steps into the role of big sister.
In an announcement on social media, George W. Bush expressed immense pride and joy, sharing a heartfelt congratulatory message for the family and celebrating Edward’s meaningful name, chosen to honor his great-grandfathers.
The former president’s message warmly referred to Edward as “our newest blessing,” while Laura also shared her happiness in becoming a grandmother once again.
Jenna Bush Hager’s Joy as a Proud Aunt
Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara’s twin sister and co-anchor of the Today show, was among the first to share the joyful news publicly on August 5.
Her post, which included tender photos of herself cradling her nephew and a loving shot of Barbara with her newborn, expressed her excitement about becoming an aunt for the second time. She captured the moment perfectly with the caption, “My sister had a little mister, and I fell instantly in love with Edward Finn!”
Although Jenna didn’t share specific details about the birth, Today.com pointed out that baby Edward wore an NYU Langone Health cap, hinting that Barbara likely gave birth at the prominent New York hospital. The news of Edward’s birth resonates deeply with the Bush family, who, just two years ago, celebrated the arrival of Cora Georgia with similar excitement.

The name Edward Finn holds significant meaning for both sides of the Bush-Coyne family, symbolizing a connection to family heritage and legacy.
As grandparents, George and Laura Bush treasure these milestones, cherishing each moment as their family grows. This latest addition brings new joy, further enriching the legacy of the Bush family with Edward Finn’s arrival.
