President Biden publicly addressed his 4-year-old granddaughter, Navy Joan Roberts, for the first time on Friday. In a statement, he emphasized that he and First Lady Jill Biden prioritize the well-being of all their grandchildren, including Navy. This statement comes in response to growing criticism that not acknowledging Navy publicly contradicted the image of President Biden as a loving patriarch, which he has cultivated throughout his political career.
Mr. Biden clarified that his son, Hunter, and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are actively working together to foster a relationship that serves their daughter’s best interests while also ensuring her privacy. In an interview with People magazine, Mr. Biden emphasized that this issue is a family matter rather than a political one, reiterating his and Jill’s commitment to the well-being of their grandchildren.
Hunter Biden, who is currently recovering from crack cocaine addiction, is President Biden’s only surviving son after losing his eldest, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015. Hunter, who has five children, has openly shared that he fathered Navy during a challenging period in his life and did not have a relationship with her. President Biden had previously referred to having six grandchildren, following his son’s lead.
However, in recent weeks, President Biden expressed his desire to meet Navy when the time is right, signaling a change in his approach. According to sources, the president intends to acknowledge Navy as his seventh grandchild moving forward. While the Biden family initially maintained that they had six grandchildren, the president wants to rectify this and include Navy in the count.
Hunter Biden and Navy’s mother, Lunden Roberts, recently resolved a long-standing child support case. Their focus remains on the best interests of their daughter, according to statements given to The New York Times. Since assuming office, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have placed great importance on their grandchildren, exemplifying their commitment to family. Notably, Naomi Biden, Hunter’s eldest daughter, got married on the South Lawn of the White House, and the youngest grandchild, named after Hunter’s late brother Beau, often appears in photographs alongside the grandparents.
Regarding President Biden’s meeting with Navy, the White House has not provided any comments. Navy currently resides in Arkansas. Lunden Roberts and her attorney, Clint Lancaster, have yet to respond to requests for comment. In previous interviews, Roberts expressed how proud Navy is of her paternal lineage, stating that she ensures Navy understands the significance of her grandfather and father in her life.
The court battle over child support between Ms. Roberts and Hunter Biden concluded in June. The settlement included an agreement that Hunter, who has pursued a career in painting, would provide a collection of his paintings to his daughter in addition to monthly child support payments. Navy will have the opportunity to select the paintings from her father, as stated in the court documents.
Before reaching this settlement, Hunter Biden had already paid Ms. Roberts over $750,000, according to his attorneys. Initially, he sought to reduce his monthly child support payment of $20,000, citing financial constraints. However, the new amount is lower than the original court-ordered payment, according to a source familiar with the case.
