NEW YORK (AP) - NBC News correspondent Jenna Bush Hager and her husband have welcomed their second daughter.

Former President George W. Bush says in a statement that Poppy Louise Hager was born Thursday in New York.

She's named after Jenna's grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, who was called Poppy as a child.

Hager and her husband, Henry, also have a 2-year-old daughter who is named Margaret Laura after her grandmothers. She is called Mila.

Hager told NBC's Savannah Guthrie that George H.W. Bush "got very emotional" at the news the baby was named after him.
