Sharon Bush marries retired financier in ritzy New York City wedding

George H.W. Bush’s grandchildren Lauren, Ashley, and Pierce Bush were all on hand to celebrate their mother Sharon Bush’s wedding to retired financier Bob Murray this weekend — less than three months after the pair announced their engagement.

It’s been a year of weddings for the bush clan, with Ashley, 30, wedding her husband Julian LeFevre earlier March and their cousin Barbara Bush, 38, marrying Craig Coyne in October.

But on November 30, it was 67-year-old Sharon — who was married to Neil Bush from 1980 to 2003 — who tied the knot with her new love in a New York City wedding officiated by televangelist Joel Osteen.

Sharon and Bob met in March 2017 at a charity function at Lincoln Center, having both been invited by mutual friend.

It appears to have been a bit of a set-up.

‘She described Robert to me as a hard-working, devoted family man who went to church every Sunday,’ Sharon, who works as a senior development officer at the Catholic High school Cristo Rey Brooklyn and is a founding board member of Kipp Academy, told the Times.

Bob, was the managing director of Morgan Stanley & Company and the CFO of the Public Service Enterprise Group before he retired, added: ‘Stephanie said to me “Fasten your seatbelt, I’m going to introduce you to an incredible woman.” 

‘She told me that Sharon was an extremely interesting person who had a high level of energy and was full of life.’

They soon fell for each other.

‘I really appreciated the fact that he had God in his background, he even served as an altar boy,’ Sharon said. ‘The fact that my children really liked Robert told me that I was doing something right by having him in my life.’

‘There was also her overwhelming beauty, her kindness and her intelligence,’ Bob said. ‘But perhaps the most telling thing about Sharon was that while she raised three children in the limelight, she was as modest and down-to-earth as a person could be, and so were her children.’

Page Six revealed that they got engaged in September while on vacation in Europe.

Bob is a widower, having lost his wife in 2016 after 47 years of marriage.

Sharon, meanwhile, divorced George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush’s Neil Bush after being married for 23 years.

The divorce was a messy one that made headlines with a series of bitter court battles and allegations of adultery, which were seen at the time to damage the name of the family.

In court, it emerged that Neil had sex with women who turned up at hotel rooms he was staying at in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he insisted they were not prostitutes. 

Neil went on to marry Maria Andrews, his current wife, whom he met when she was working for his late mother, Barbara. 

Sharon later returned to court to try to get more than her $30,000 a year settlement out of her ex-husband, but a judge refused her request.  

Neil sued Sharon for libel over the accusation he was the father of Maria’s youngest son. A DNA test proved he wasn’t, and the parties settled.
