Beau and Hunter are Biden's children from his first wife, Neilia, who died in a car accident in 1972 along with their daughter Naomi. He got remarried in 1977 to Jill Biden, and their daughter Ashley was born in 1981.

Beau was married to Hallie Biden and had two children, Natalie and Robert "Hunter" Biden II, before his death from brain cancer in 2015.

Hunter and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle had three children together: Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy. He had another son, Beau, with his wife Melissa Cohen, whom he married in 2019.

Biden's grandchildren call him "Pop."

In a video interview for the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Naomi said Biden calls his grandchildren every day and always picks up their calls "no matter where he is."

"He adores being a grandfather," Biden's daughter Ashley told TODAY in 2021. "He is so happy, even with the chaos and everything he has on his shoulders ... that gives him such joy."

Biden's oldest grandchild, Naomi Biden, is getting married at the White House on November 19.

Naomi, 28, studied international relations at the University of Pennsylvania (where she was classmates with Tiffany Trump) and graduated from Columbia Law School in 2020. She works as an associate attorney at Arnold & Porter, a law firm in Washington, DC.

She and her fiancé Peter Neal will tie the knot on the South Lawn of the White House on November 19. It will be the 19th White House wedding in history.

"Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House," Naomi tweeted on April 4. "We can't wait to make our commitment to one another official and for what lies ahead."

Naomi's younger sister Finnegan also attended the University of Pennsylvania.

Finnegan, 22, graduated from Penn in 2021, earning a degree in history with a concentration in American studies. While in college, she was involved in several causes, participating in an Earth Day project for Penn's Climate Week program and successfully campaigning the administration to extend the school's pass/fail grading option deadline.

Maisy and Sasha both played on their high school basketball team, the Vipers. On an episode of Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, former president Barack Obama told Shepard and co-host Monica Padman that Maisy was "like the LeBron of the league."

"She dominated," he said. "She was great, you know, and we went undefeated. The Vipers ruled."

Maisy told TODAY in 2021 that Biden came to every game that he could make it to.

"It was always funny seeing him show up when I was like 'I think I just saw you on TV about 30 minutes ago, how did you just end up here?'" she said. "And he was like 'Don't worry, I knew it was a big game today.' It's really nice knowing that he'll always be there when I want him to be there."

Like her two older sisters, 21-year-old Maisy is now in college at the University of Pennsylvania studying fine arts, according to the Daily Mail. She's also active on TikTok.

Biden took Natalie, who is a senior in high school, to visit the University of Pennsylvania in October, the Daily Mail reported.

Natalie's younger brother, 16-year-old Robert "Hunter" Biden, is named for his uncle.

Naomi and Maisy have referred to their half-brother as the "love of my life."

Biden's son Hunter also had another child with Lunden Alexis Roberts in 2018, whose identity has been sealed for privacy.

In May 2019, Roberts filed a paternity suit claiming that Hunter was the father of her child born in August 2018, which Hunter denied. In November 2019, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported DNA tests had confirmed "with scientific certainty," that Hunter was the father of the baby.

The baby's identity was sealed by an Arkansas circuit court as a protective measure. Hunter and Roberts reached a settlement in March 2020.

In April 2021, Roberts' attorney told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that Hunter has not met the child, nor have the president and first lady.

In his memoir "Beautiful Things," Hunter wrote that he had "no recollection" of his encounter with Roberts, writing that "the other women I'd been with during rampages since my divorce were hardly the dating type. We would satisfy our immediate needs and little else."

He added: "I was a mess, but a mess I've taken responsibility for."
