Today host Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara Bush, are two peas in a pod! The former first daughters both became published authors, mothers and philanthropists after their father, George W. Bush, was elected president in 2001.
Jenna and Barbara were born in 1981 in Dallas. They were 20 years old when they moved into the White House with their parents. Though their lives were drastically different as members of America’s first family, the pair first experienced national recognition when their grandfather George H. W. Bush was elected president in 1989.
