In the history of the United States, only two father-son duos have held the office of president: John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams, and George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush. Jenna Bush Hager has discussed the extraordinary experiences she had growing up as both the first granddaughter and the first daughter of the United States. When their grandpa was installed as president, she and her twin sister Barbara Bush were in the first grade. When their father was inaugurated as president, they were 19 years old. She mentioned that her family celebrated Christmas at the White House during the time that her grandfather was in office for the presidency. “Because my grandparents are so humble, they just wanted uninterrupted time with their family, they just wanted us to be around,” she was quoted as saying in Good Housekeeping.
And when asked what made the White House, which has 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms, feel like a home, Jenna responded, “It’s the people — many of whom are lifetime employees — who fill it with this beautiful spirit of family,” as reported by her on-camera employer, NBC’s “Today.” The White House has a total of 35 bathrooms and 132 rooms. She has also said that the White House is inhabited by benign spirits who haunt the building. Despite having so much personal history connected to the White House, Jenna has not yet had the opportunity to discuss it with her children.
Elton John was the guest of honor when Jenna Bush Hager took her daughters to the White House.
Elton John gave a performance in the White House, and Jenna Bush Hager, her mother, her husband, and the couple’s two kids attended along with their mother. She had reportedly not been sure whether she should bring her children or not, but she said on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” that she was impressed by how Prince George and Princess Charlotte behaved during the burial of the queen. She added that she was not sure if she should bring her girls or not. “You should know that one of the things that gave me hope was seeing the adorable royal children being so well behaved. I thought to myself, “Maybe my children have the potential to be well-behaved.” “— I quote her. People from all across the globe were moved and amazed by the conduct of the royal children at the burial.
Jenna also said that Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden met the Bush family on the front steps of the White House and invited them inside. Jenna’s girls were given the opportunity to tour the White House during this visit. In addition, she said that she was pleased with how wonderfully her children conducted themselves during the performance.
The crowd on the South Lawn of the White House consisted of people that President Biden described as “ordinary history-makers,” such as teachers, first responders, and healthcare professionals. John is now on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. According to Rolling Stone, President Biden honored John with a National Humanities Medal at the event, which was titled “A Night When Hope and History Rhyme.” The awarding of the medal caused the singer to shed some tears.
