Joe Biden, who currently holds the position of the President, has had four kids from two different marriages. However, only two of his children are still living today.

Biden's initial spouse, Neilia Biden, with whom he got married in the year 1966, was blessed with three children. Their names and order of birth are Joseph Robinette III who is usually referred to as Beau, Robert Hunter and Naomi Christina also referred to as Amy.

Back in December 18, 1972, Neilia was on the road together with her three children, with the intention of purchasing a Christmas tree for the celebration. Some unfortunate circumstances befell them when their car collided with a huge truck. Upon arrival to the hospital, both Neilia and Naomi Biden were already proclaimed dead. It was a tragic incident, since Naomi was just a little over one year old when the accident happened.

The two male children made it through but with severe harm. In under a month, Mr. Biden became a Senator on the third day of January in 1973 while being present at the clinic where his sons were getting better.

Senator Biden and his now-wife, Jill Tracy Jacobs, were introduced on a blind date in 1975. They tied the knot in 1977 and welcomed their daughter, Ashley Blazer, a few years after their marriage.

Find out all about the kids of Mr. Biden in this comprehensive guide.

Born in Wilmington, Delaware on February 3rd, 1969, Beau Biden had a car accident that resulted in several broken bones. He was then hospitalized for a few months following the accident.

Beau studied at the University of Pennsylvania for his undergraduate degree and later pursued his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law. After completing his studies, he worked as a clerk for Judge Steven McAuliffe at the United States District Court in New Hampshire.

From 1995 to 2004, he was employed at the Department of Justice situated in Philadelphia. With time, he was promoted to the role of a federal prosecutor for the US Attorney’s Office.

In the year 2002, he tied the knot with Hallie Olivere and they became proud parents of a daughter, Natalie, in 2004 and a son, Robert, in 2006. Interestingly, Robert is also referred to as Hunter, just like his uncle.

In 2012, Beau Biden was an American politician who served as the Attorney General of Delaware. He was the son of former Vice President Joe Biden. Beau's political career was cut short due to his untimely death in 2015 at the age of 46. He was known for his advocacy work, particularly for children's rights. He also served in the Iraq War as a member of the Delaware National Guard. Despite his short career, Beau made a lasting impact on the people of Delaware and beyond.

Beau enlisted with the Delaware Army National Guard in the year 2003. Later, in the year 2008, he was sent to Iraq for duty.

In 2006, Beau decided to run for the position of Attorney General in Delaware. He ran for election and was successful in winning it. Furthermore, in 2010, he ran for re-election and won again. Despite being deployed in Iraq, he continued to serve as the Attorney General of Delaware.

In 2008, he made a lasting impression when he addressed the Democratic National Convention following his father's nomination for vice president. He shared the heart-wrenching story of the car accident and praised his father's unyielding dedication to being a parent.

In the 2010s, Beau encountered various health problems.

Beau suffered a mild stroke before he won his re-election as an attorney general. In the year 2013, he was diagnosed with brain cancer as he felt disoriented and weak. He had a surgery to eliminate a lesion and later on, he underwent radiation and chemotherapy.

Following that, his cancer entered a state of temporary remission.

Beau revealed his plans to run for Governor of Delaware in 2016. However, on the 20th of May in 2015, he was admitted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center due to the recurrence of his cancer.

Only a mere 10 days after, Beau passed away when he was only 46 years old.

His resting place is located at St Joseph's on the Brandywine in Greenville, Delaware where his mother and sister are also interred. His father regularly attends services at the church and never fails to mention him in fond regard during formal gatherings.

The Vice President, Kamala Harris, was familiar with Beau and shared her affection for him by calling him "my dear friend" in a speech.

The birthdate of Hunter Biden is on the 4th of February in the year 1970. Due to a car accident, he experienced injuries on his skull and his brother underwent a few months of therapy to fully recuperate.

Back in 1992, he completed his degree in history at Georgetown University. Then, he went on to work as a Jesuit volunteer at a church in Portland, Oregon where he ran into Kathleen Buhle, his future partner whom he tied the knot with in 1993.

Hunter pursued further education by enrolling at Georgetown University Law Centre for one year. He then decided to transfer to Yale Law School, where he successfully completed his studies and graduated in 1996.

Hunter and Kathleen have three children together. They named their first daughter Naomi, which was in honor of Hunter's sister who had passed away. Their second child, a boy, was named Finnegan in memory of Kathleen's grandmother Jean Finnegan. Lastly, they named their third child Maisy, who happened to attend school with Sasha Obama.

The section of the blog in question relates to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

Kathleen and Hunter ended their relationship in 2015 and officially ended their marriage in 2017. During 2016, Hunter was romantically involved with Hallie, who was previously married to his late brother.

Lunden Alexis Roberts from Arkansas gave birth to Hunter's fourth child in 2018. An order stating Hunter's paternity was signed by a judge in the beginning of 2020.

In May of last year, he tied the knot with Melissa Cohen, a filmmaker from South Africa. And just recently, in March, he and Cohen welcomed their newborn son - marking the actor's fifth child.

Hunter worked for MBNA America and later the Department of Commerce, where his focus was on e-commerce policy from the years 1998 to 2001. It was his professional occupation during this time.

He established the lobbying enterprise Oldaker, Biden & Belair together with other individuals in the year 2001, and later on, in 2006, he and his uncle named James Biden made an acquisition of Paradigm Global Advisors which is an international hedge fund. He performed the role of the Chief Executive Officer for a period of five years.

In 2006, President George W Bush selected him to serve on the board of directors for Amtrak. However, he resigned from the position in 2009 due to his father's appointment as vice president.

From 2009 onwards, Hunter has been actively involved in investments and lobbying activities that center around the extraction of natural resources and technology. Moreover, he has served as a legal advisor for a reputed law firm and also held a seat on the board of directors for the benevolent organization World Food Program USA.

For numerous years, Hunter has struggled with addiction to alcohol and drugs. Unfortunately, due to a positive result for cocaine in 2013, he was forced to end his new career with the US Navy Reserve only one month after starting.

Since he became an investor, there have been many conspiracy theories swirling around him related to his father's political career. A particular area of interest has been his business dealings with Burisma in Ukraine and BHR Partners, Ye Jianming, and CEFC energy in China.

Last year, the Congress, predominantly controlled by the Democrats, brought impeachment charges against Donald Trump upon the revelation that he had coerced the leader of Ukraine to investigate Hunter and his father, in return for ongoing military support and an invitation to the White House. Nevertheless, Mr. Trump was cleared of all charges by his fellow Republicans in the Senate.

Hunter stated that there is an ongoing federal criminal inquiry into his tax matters just before his father assumed presidency.

About three weeks ahead of the 2020 election, a computer that Hunter left at a repair store returned to the spotlight. Early statements from The New York Post conveyed that Hunter created a chance for a Burisma consultant to have a meeting with his dad. Right-leaning media outlets seized on these claims, continuing to speculate to this day that the laptop implicates the president's son in wrongdoing in Ukraine. There is insufficient information at present to determine if Hunter engaged in any illegal activities.

During an interview with Piers Morgan, President Trump mentioned that the report "made a huge impact," implying that it supports his unfounded claim that the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election was fraudulent.

Republicans are still troubled by Hunter's behavior since President Biden took office, and it has become a major topic on Twitter. Recently, Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, made public internal documents that showed Twitter originally prevented a New York Post article about Hunter's laptop from being shared on the platform but later changed their decision.

Hunter was charged with federal gun offenses on September 14, 2023. However, he entered a plea of not guilty on October 3rd.

Born on the 8th of June in 1981, Ashley Biden is the sole offspring resulting from the union of Joe and Jill Biden.

After receiving her degree in cultural anthropology from Tulane University, she chose to work in social services and went on to earn a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010.

For fifteen years, Ashley worked as a social worker at the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and their Families. Then, in 2012, she transitioned to becoming an associate director at the Delaware Centre for Justice where she focused on reforming the criminal justice system in the state. As time went on, she eventually became the executive director of the centre until 2019.

Back in the year 2012, she tied the knot with Howard Krein, who works as a plastic surgeon. Her brother Beau was the one who introduced them to each other. Fast forward to 2017, she started a clothing line that aims to support the fight against economic inequality and racial discrimination in America. This brand follows ethical practices to ensure that their products are made responsibly.

At the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Hunter and Ashley teamed up to present their father before he accepted the presidential nomination.
