President Joe Biden has fathered four children from two marriages — though only two of his children are still alive today. Biden had three children with his first wife, Neilia Biden , whom he married in 1966. In order of birth, they were Joseph Robinette III, known as Beau; Robert Hunter; and Naomi Christina, known as Amy.
On December 18, 1972, Neilia was driving with the three children to buy a Christmas tree when their car was hit by a tractor-trailer. Both Neilia and Naomi Biden were pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Naomi was just over a year old at the time.
The two boys survived but with serious injuries. Less than a month later, Mr Biden was sworn into the Senate on January 3, 1973 at the hospital where his sons were recovering. Senator Biden met future First Lady Jill Tracy Jacobs on a blind date in 1975 and the pair were married in 1977.
They had a daughter, Ashley Blazer, a few years later. She will be introducing the president, alongside her mother, at the first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention . Here is everything to know about President Biden’s children.
Beau Biden was born on February 3, 1969 in Wilmington, Delaware. He suffered multiple broken bones in the car accident and was hospitalised for several months afterward. Beau attended college at the University of Pennslyvania and then Syracuse University College of Law before clerking for Judge Steven McAuliffe of the United States District Court of New Hampshire.
