News about Barbara Bush

On Monday, Today host Laura Bush Hager, 40, said she was'really good at setting people up.' When her co-host said she wanted to find her a match, she stunned her by saying she wanted to be set up.' Bush Hager knows her, and she believes in her, which is why she let her set her up on a blind date. Following their breakup in late January, the mother of two children, Haley, five, and Hope, three, three daughters, are co-parenting with Schiffman (seen together inset). Bush Hager has a tradition of matchmaking, including a failed attempt to introduce Barbara Bush, her twin sister, with Prince Harry in 2016.

Bush Hager, 40, and her mother, former First Lady Laura Bush; her husband, Henry Hager; and her daughters, Mila and Poppy, have returned to the White House. On Friday evening, the family was invited to attend Elton John at a musical event hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Bush Hager, the son of former President George W. Bush, took to Instagram a few days later to post photos of them on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Mila, nine, and Poppy, seven, seven, never visited the White House before, according to the mother of three children on the Today show. She recalled how her daughters rehearsed how they should welcome President Biden, noting that her youngest daughter went off script and into the movie theater. At a casual gathering her parents threw at the White House, Bush Hager recalled how she and her twin, Barbara Bush, rode Henry 'like a bronco.' If the evening couldn't get any better, the Bidens took the stage and rapped John, 75, with the National Humanities Medal. Bush Hager said that the 'best part' for her was to introduce her children to one of their 'favorite guys' who worked in the White House.

On Wednesday, Barack and Michelle Obama returned to the White House and unveiled their formal portraits, which would adorn the executive mansion's walls. 'Barack and Michelle, welcome home!' At the dinner in the East Room, President Joe Biden spoke. 'It's nice to see you again, mother,' Biden said, speaking with Michelle Obama's Marian Robinson, who was seated in the front row.

Several large, formal portraits of presidents and first ladies adorn walls, hallways, and rooms in the White House, and, more traditionally, a former president returns for the unveiling during his successor's tenure. The Obamas (pictured top-right hosting George W. Bush and his wife, Laura), who have been popular since being out of the political spotlight, did not have their wedding reception when Republican President Donald Trump was in office. That means it's been more than a decade since a first-term president has invited his predecessor to attend the occasion. Before winning the election in 2016 and replacing Obama in 2017, Trump (pictured bottom-right at his inauguration in 2017) was a long-serving proponent of the 'birther' campaign, who incorrectly said Obama was not born in the United States.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama will attend Jill Biden and former First Lady Michelle Obama in the White House next week for the long-awaited unveiling of their official portraits. Former President Donald Trump may have welcomed the Obamas to the White House for the formal event in the spring of 2020 if he had followed tradition. Trump did not do such things.
