Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara Pierce Bush Throwback Photos -

The twin sisters and former first daughters were born on Nov. 25, 1981, to former president George W. Bush and former FLOTUS, Laura Bush. In the years since, they've both gone on to successful careers, and welcomed children of their own: Jenna three children with husband Henry Hager, and Barbara one daughter with husband Craig Coyne.

"I think we like all the same things. We want to laugh. We want to find joy in life and whenever I feel kind of down, Barbara's who I call," Jenna said of the sisters' bond during a 2022 chat on Today. "She's joyful, she's fun to be around."

"But also, our parents did something right," Jenna continued. "They made us make sure that we support each other and not compare ourselves to each other."

Added Barbara, "We are different in many ways, our temperaments are different, but as Jenna says, we love the same things so it's great to be around each other so it's only additive in our lives"

Here, on their 42nd birthdays, look back on some of the Bush twins' cutest throwback photos.
