Former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager, 31, and her husband Henry Hager welcomed a 6 pound, 15 ounce daughter on Saturday night at a Manhattan hospital.

The couple did not know the gender of their baby until she arrived over the weekend. A few days ago Jenna said at her baby shower, “I really love the relationship I have with my mother, so to have a daughter would be special.”

Former President George W. Bush confirmed the news on Facebook: “Laura and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our grandchild, Margaret Laura “Mila” Hager. Mila, daughter of Jenna and Henry Hager, is named for her grandmothers.”

“She was born last night, April 13, at 8:43 pm in New York City. We met our beautiful granddaughter today. Jenna and Mila are healthy and our family is elated.”

The TODAY show released exclusive images and video this morning — getting the scoop because Jenna is a special NBC correspondent who appears regularly on the morning show.

Jenna’s twin sister Barbara Bush, the co-founder of Global Health Corps., is a first time Aunt.
