Here is how her late grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush, encouraged her to do what was right for herself — with or without a man around.
But she considered starting a family before Coyne even came into her life.and told her twin how their late grandmother — the former first lady who also served as Bush’s namesake — encouraged her to do what was right for herself, with or without a man around.
"I knew I wanted kids," Bush recalled."I felt like I had my whole life to fall in love if I wanted to. But right before, we were in Houston visiting Ganny and Gampy. I’d been thinking of having a kid by myself, and I was sitting on the couch with Ganny, who was 92, and she looked at me and she said, ‘You know, you could just have a kid on your own if you want to. You should have a baby, if you want.'"Bush noted that she was shocked by her grandmother's suggestion.
"I said, ‘Well, would you support that?’" And she remembered the matriarch replying,"‘Absolutely I would support that.’""It felt like permission," she added. And it also felt refreshing, because up until that point, Bush found herself hounded by questions about settling down and getting married from others around her.
"People, I’m sure many women experience this, always asked me when I was going to get married," she told her sister."They never said, ‘What are you doing to address global health issues?’ Or, ‘How are you spending your days? What’s your purpose?’ They’d say, ‘Why aren’t you married yet?’"With an “incredibly full” life, Bush said she was in no hurry to wed. That was until she met her match, Craig Coyne, in 2017 — and married him the following year.
