Twin Takeover! Jenna and Barbara Bush Co-Host 'Today' and Spill Sister Secrets
Ever wonder what it's like when twins work together? Well we got a peek as Barbara Bush joined Jenna on Today with Jenna & Friends! It was a sisterly co-hosting situation for a couple of days and it sounds like it was a blast. But it also led to a funny little sisterly moment getting revealed on air.
During a segment about "Social Dilemmas" a viewer asked about how to tell her twin she wanted to have her own birthday party separate for the first time. This question hit home for Jenna in a hilarious way. Turns out Jenna once had a birthday party that Barbara knew nothing about! Barbara playfully called Jenna out on it saying if Jenna had just told her she would have been supportive. Jenna's excuse? Barbara was pregnant at the time and she didn't want to bother her with "petty" party planning stuff. Sisters right? They can co-host a show but childhood party drama still comes up!
Grandpa George W. Bush the Artist? Jenna and Barbara Share Sweet Family Stories About Their Kids
Speaking of family Jenna and Barbara recently opened up about their kids and their connection to their famous grandpa former President George W. Bush. Surprisingly none of Jenna or Barbara's kids are thinking about politics. No future presidents in the making it seems for now. But Grandpa "Jefe" as the grandkids call him is inspiring them in other ways particularly when it comes to art.
Barbara revealed that her daughter Cora Georgia who is three years old is showing artistic talent just like her grandpa. George W. Bush has famously taken up painting in his retirement and Cora Georgia loves going to his studio and painting with him. She even says she wants to be an artist like Grandpa! How sweet is that?
Jenna also shared what her daughters Mila and Poppy are interested in. Mila wants to be a doctor thanks to Grey's Anatomy. Talk about TV inspiration! And Poppy? She wants to be a model. Jenna's son Hal is still figuring things out. It sounds like the Bush grandkids are a creative and ambitious bunch.
Jenna also sees personality traits of her family in her kids. Mila is quieter and more empathetic like her mom Laura Bush and her aunt Barbara. Poppy is funny and loves to entertain just like her dad George W. Bush. And Hal well Hal is "all man" according to Jenna with a bit of her "destructiveness" thrown in for good measure. Family traits are funny things aren't they?
