Jenna Bush Hager Reveals Childhood Shock Over Father’s Secret Pre-Laura Engagement
Jenna Bush Hager disclosed on 'Today' that she discovered her father, George W. Bush, was engaged to another woman before marrying her mother, Laura Bush. The revelation occurred when she was a third grader and accidentally saw a wedding announcement in a memory box. Bush Hager noted that her father called off the wedding to Cathryn Lee Wolfman in 1967, a decade before his 1977 marriage to Laura. She described crying at the time but later appreciated her father's decision to walk away from the relationship.
