George W. Bush welcomes fourth grandchild

Count another baby among George W. Bush’s growing brood of grandchildren — the former president’s daughter Barbara Pierce Bush just gave birth to her first child.

Pierce Bush and husband Craig Coyne welcomed baby Cora on Monday, according to a statement from the ex-commander in chief.

“With full hearts, Laura and I are delighted to announce the birth of our new granddaughter,” Bush said on Tuesday.

Cora was born to Bush’s 39-year-old daughter in Maine, not far from the family home where she and Coyne, a screenwriter, tied the knot in 2018.

Pierce Bush’s pregnancy appeared to be a private affair compared to her twin sister’s journey to motherhood. Jenna Bush Hager, a “Today” co-host, revealed on the NBC morning show in 2019 that she was pregnant with her third child.

“Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful,” Bush, 75, said.
