Bush-Lauren clan celebrate
LAUREN Bush Lauren and David Lauren are expecting their second child, and Page Six has learned that Lauren’s sister, Ashley Bush, is getting married after her filmmaker boyfriend Julian LeFevre popped the question in Iceland.
The Bush sisters — grandchildren to President George H.W. Bush and daughters of President George W. Bush’s brother Neil — both have exciting news to celebrate over the holidays, their proud mom, Sharon Bush, tells us.
She said, “Lauren’s second child with David is due in May, and Ashley called me on Monday night to say that Jules proposed while they were on a trip to Iceland, as they were visiting the famous hot springs, the Blue Lagoon.
“She said it was so romantic. Jules had planned the trip as a surprise and had just told Ashley to bring warm clothes. We are all so happy and excited for them both.”
Sharon was hosting an event Monday for the White House Historical Association — a nonprofit founded in 1961 by Jacqueline Kennedy to promote and preserve the history and decorative arts of the White House — when Ashley called with the engagement news. We are told Lefevre is an aspiring filmmaker and Ashley has just graduated from USC’s film school. He also worked as a cameraman on her 2017 short film, “Bad Girl.”
FEED founder Lauren showed off a small baby bump at the WHHA event at New York’s Lotos Club. At the event, chef Roland Messier joked that Lauren was a “cookie monster” because as a young child she’d always dismantle his gingerbread house creations at the White House to eat. Lauren and David, who is vice chairman and chief innovation officer at his fashion icon father Ralph Lauren’s firm, married in September 2011 at his family’s ranch in Ridgway, Colo. They have a son, James, 2.
Meanwhile, the Laurens and Bushes are making plans for the holidays. Sharon said the Bush clan was first heading to Woodstock, NY, “because the kids want a white Christmas.” Then they will celebrate with the Laurens in the sun at Ralph’s luxe villa in Jamaica for the new year.
