George W. Bush celebrates the arrival of his grandson, named in tribute to his great-grandfathers

Former U.S. President George W. Bush, now 78, joyfully announced the birth of his new grandson on social media.

On Tuesday, August 6, Bush shared a heartfelt photo on Instagram to celebrate the arrival of his daughter Barbara Pierce Bush’s second child with husband Craig Coyne. The couple, who already have a 2-year-old daughter, Cora Georgia, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, just days earlier.

In the sweet photo, Barbara and Craig are seen in a hospital bed, tenderly holding their newborn as they gaze at him with joy. “Welcome to the world, Edward Finn Coyne. @laurawbush and I are proud grandparents of our newest blessing, born on August 4 and lovingly named in honor of his great-grandfathers,” Bush captioned the post. He added, “Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia.”

Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, was the first to share the happy news on Monday, August 5. Jenna, co-anchor of the Today show, expressed her excitement about becoming an aunt again on Instagram, writing, “My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! .”

Jenna’s post included a series of photos from the family’s special moments after Edward’s birth. In one, Jenna is seen feeding her new nephew, while another shows Barbara cradling Edward with Jenna admiring the scene. A third photo captures Edward peacefully resting in his mother’s arms.

Though Jenna didn’t share specific birth details, one of the photos shows Edward wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, suggesting Barbara may have given birth at the prestigious New York City hospital.

This is not the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have expressed their joy over becoming grandparents. When Barbara and Craig welcomed their daughter Cora in September 2021, the Bushes released a statement to announce the news.

“With full hearts, @laurawbush and I are delighted to announce the birth of our new granddaughter. 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,” the couple shared at the time. “Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful.”

Now, with the addition of Edward Finn, the Bush family has even more to celebrate!

Wow! Grandma’s impressive salsa dancing skills truly lit up the dance floor! She absolutely stole the spotlight with her talent and expertise!

A very talented grandmother is proving that the phrase “age is just a number” is accurate. She confidently stepped onto the platform and began an incredible salsa dancing performance.

She shook her shoulders elegantly at first, but that was only a warm-up. She moved into a full-body salsa performance in a few short moments.

She recognized she still had it as soon as she started moving her hips and legs, and she maintained the momentum.

She took the band by surprise with a couple new maneuvers once she was at ease, holding their attention as they kept up with her intensity.

The Latin Dancing Center defines salsa as follows:

Stepped on three consecutive musical beats, paused for one beat, and then repeated the motion. Cuban motion, which involves alternating between bent and straightened knees to create the distinctive hip movement, is a crucial component of salsa.

Salsa is usually danced by two people, but this woman showed she could be just as good dancing alone.

Although there are solo salsa variations such as “suelta” or “Rueda de Casino,” which entail partner switching in a circle, her distinct solo approach stole the show. Salsa can be performed impromptu or in accordance with a prearranged pattern, according to Dance Shoe Stores.

The band members’ smiles demonstrated how much everyone was enjoying her performance as the audience’s cheers became louder.

She began to shake her hips, and the audience went wild. Her salsa dances lit up the room, even at her advanced age.

It is quite touching to watch this animated dancer enjoy herself so much on stage.

Let this salsa-dancing grandmother serve as a reminder to us all that life is too short to stop enjoying the things we love, like dancing!
