Finnegan is Hunter Biden's middle child
Finnegan, 23, is the middle daughter of Hunter Biden and ex-wife Kathleen Buhle. Her sisters are Naomi Biden, 29, and Maisy, 22. She also has a 3-year-old half-brother, Beau Jr., who her father shares with his wife, Melissa Cohen, and a 4-year-old half-sister Hunter shares with Lunden Alexis Roberts.

She graduated college in 2021
Finnegan graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021 with a degree in history and a concentration in American studies.
While at Penn, she successfully extended the university's deadline for students to opt into a pass/fail grading system, according to 34th Street Magazine.
Following Finnegan's graduation, her sister Naomi congratulated her on Instagram.
"BURSTING WITH PRIDE AND PERPETUALLY IN AWE OF MY FIRST LOVE AND LITTLE SIS @finneganbiden ilysmsmsmsm," her caption read.
Finnegan is close to President Joe Biden and supported him during his 2020 presidential campaign
Finnegan joined President Biden during his campaign and made stops in Pennsylvania, the president's home state, and North Carolina.
In a 2020 interview shown at the Democratic National Convention, Finnegan, Maisy, Naomi, and Natalie spoke about the president's almost daily phone calls and love for ice cream.
"I don't necessarily pick up everyday, but I have a lot of voicemails," Finnegan said of President Biden, or "Pop," as his grandchildren call him.
President Biden confirmed the frequent phone calls in a 2022 episode of the "Smartless" podcast. "They're crazy about me and I'm crazy about them," he said about his grandchildren.
In a January 2021 interview with Jenna Bush Hager, Finnegan reflected on the moment she and her cousins heard the 2020 election results.
"Everyone was crying," Finnegan said. "We just embraced each other. I think we'll always remember that moment."
Her sister Naomi shared a photo of the moment on Twitter.
Finnegan traveled with her grandfather while he was vice president
Before being elected as president, Finnegan accompanied her grandfather, then vice president to former President Barak Obama, on several overseas trips.
In 2013, Finnegan went with Biden to China for an official visit.
And in 2015, the pair went to Germany, where Biden spoke at the Munich Security Conference.
Little else is known about Finnegan as she remains private with no public social media accounts.
