Meet Joe Biden’s Four Children

Joe Biden’s life has been shaped by profound personal tragedies and the enduring strength of family. After losing his first wife Neilia and baby daughter Naomi in a 1972 car crash, he raised surviving sons Beau and Hunter as a single father before remarrying Jill and welcoming daughter Ashley. His children’s lives reflect both triumph and struggle—Beau’s distinguished public service cut short by brain cancer, Hunter’s battles with addiction and legal issues, and Ashley’s quiet dedication to social justice work.

Now facing metastatic prostate cancer at 82, Biden draws strength from his close-knit family, including seven grandchildren who call him “Pop.” From Naomi Biden’s historic White House wedding to Hunter’s namesake son Beau Jr., each grandchild represents hope amid hardship. As Biden confronts this health challenge, his legacy as a devoted father and grandfather remains central to his story of resilience through loss.
