It’s only been a few days since Jenna Bush Hager welcomed her third child into the world, and already, the family is diving into the joys—and occasional teasing—of adding a new baby to the mix. In a lively phone conversation with her co-hosts on "Today" on Monday, August 5, Jenna shared how her dad, former President George W. Bush, is handling the arrival of his first grandson.
“My dad was a little upset that we didn’t name him George, but he’s just kidding around,” Jenna, 37, joked with her signature charm. She went on to explain that she and husband Henry Hager welcomed their baby boy, Henry Harold ‘Hal’ Hager, on Friday, August 2. “Dad actually said the name Henry is pretty cool,” she added, showing how even amidst all the excitement, humor remains a big part of their family dynamic.

After the birth of Hal, George took to social media to express his overwhelming joy and pride. “Laura and I are thrilled to welcome Henry Harold Hager into our family,” the former president wrote in an emotional caption. “We’re so happy for the proud parents, @jennabhager and Henry. And we’re delighted that Mila and Poppy now have a little brother to love. We thank God that mom and baby are healthy, and we can’t wait to watch Hal grow up and bring even more love into our lives.”

As Jenna’s first son and George’s first grandson, the arrival of Hal has brought a new level of excitement to the Bush family. When Jenna announced her pregnancy back in late April, she shared how her parents were over the moon about the idea of adding a boy to the mix. Jenna, who is already a mom to Hal’s older sisters Mila, 6, and Poppy, 4, revealed that this new addition was something her parents had been eagerly anticipating.

A Bond Between Dad and Son
Jenna shared some playful banter with People in early May, teasing her dad about naming the baby George. “He’s been joking that we need to name him George,” she said with a laugh. Jenna explained that her dad, who has only known her as a mom of two girls, is thrilled to share a special bond with her newborn son. “It’ll be great for him to have a little fishing buddy,” she added, painting a warm picture of the future adventures they’ll share.
A few days after Hal’s birth, Jenna took to social media to announce the good news. “Welcome to the world my darling Henry Harold ‘Hal’ Hager! Hal came into the world Friday, August 2, 2019, at 9:02am, and our lives have never felt sweeter,” she wrote, capturing the hearts of her fans.
