Did Joe Biden and his wife Jill have an affair together?
THE ex-husband of first lady Jill Biden claimed that she had an affair with Joe Biden while they were still married during the early 1970s. Though the Bidens have not responded to Bill Stevenson's accusation, he insists that both Joe and Jill lied about how they fell in love after meeting on a blind date. Jill Biden, 70, is a former teacher and was the second lady of the US from 2009-2017. Jill is married to President of the United States Joe Biden, who beat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Prior to marrying Joe, Jill was married to Bill Stevenson, a former college football player. He and Jill worked together and founded the Stone Balloon, one of the most popular bars near the University of Delaware. Stevenson claims Jill and Joe had an affair while he and Jill were still married and that Biden lied when he claimed they met on a blind date. Jill's ex-husband also mentioned that he is going to publish a tell-all book about their marriage will "blow the lid off the sham story." 13 A young Joe Biden at a press interview with Jill beside him Credit: Splash News  13 The Bidens at the Democratic National Convention Credit: Alamy Live News  I genuinely don't want to harm Jill's chances of becoming First Lady. She would make an excellent First Lady - but this is my story, said Stevenson. It's not a bitter book - I'm not bitter because, if it wasn't for my divorce, I would never have met my wife Linda and she's the greatest thing in my life - but it does have facts in it that aren't pleasant to Jill and Joe.  Stevenson claims that both him and Jill were working on-then New Castle County Councilman for Biden's first campaign for the Senate. He suspected that Jill was involved with Biden after he had to go out of town to meet Bruce Springsteen and Jill did not want to go, as she had offered to watch Bidens kids. 13 Joe Biden speaks at a primary night election rally in Columbia, South Carolina, with his wife by his side Credit: AP:Associated Press  13 Joe lost his first wife and his daughter in a tragic car accident Credit: AP:Associated Press  Then one of her best friends told me she thought Joe and Jill were getting a little too close. I was surprised that she came to me, Stevenson added. Stevenson and Jill divorced in 1975 - two years later, she married Biden. The couple have been married since 1977, four years after Joe lost his wife, Neilia and daughter, Naomi in a tragic car accident. Joe and Jill married in 1977 and have a daughter named Ashley, born in 1981. Jill became stepmother to Joes two young sons from his first marriage, Beau and Hunter, after their mother and baby sister died in a car accident in 1972. Hunter Biden's parents are Neilia Biden and Joe. Neilia tragically died in a car crash along with her daughter Naomi, who was 1-years-old at the time. Hunter and his brother Beau were also in the car crash. They were critically injured but survived the accident. Beau was the eldest of Joe and his first wife Neilia's three children. Sadly Beau died of brain cancer at the age of 46 on May 30, 2015. Beau Biden died from brain cancer in 2015. He had spent more than a week receiving treatment at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where he spent his final moments. Beau served for two terms as the former attorney general of Delaware and as a Major in the Delaware Army National Guard. Joe described in an MSNBC appearance how Beau stays with him as he campaigns for the 2020 election. 13 Beau Biden died of brain cancer Credit: AP:Associated Press  Every morning I get up, not a joke, I think to myself, Is he proud of me? Biden tearfully said of his son, who he says made him promise to stay engaged in public service after his death. That didnt mean I had to run for president, but he was worried Id walk away from what Ive worked on my whole life, since Ive been 24 years old, the 77-year-old said. He is part of me, and so is my surviving son, Hunter, and Ashley [his daughter].  Biden said: He walks with me, I know that sounds to some people kind of silly, but he really, honest to God, does. President Donald Trump claims that Joe never takes questions from reporters covering the 2020 election. "Very strange. Sleepy Joe never takes questions," Trump blasted over Twitter on Saturday. "Also, his reporters have zero drive. Something is going on!" In the clip staffers appear to rush the press out of the room before Joe Biden can answer any questions. 13 Trump claims Joe rarely takes reporter's questions Credit: Alamy Live News  Other twitter users appeared to agree with one man commenting: "Theyre [the reporters] so compliant too. No shouting, no gotcha questions as theyre herded out the door." However, one user said: "Because they've already taken questions, and the press conference is over. Biden and Harris have to get to their next events." 13 Jill and Joe at a campaign event Credit: AP:Associated Press  13 The couple have been married since 1977 Credit: Reuters  13 Jill helped Joe with his previous campaigns when he was Senator Credit: Splash News  Trump rips Sleepy Joe Biden for never taking questions after sharing video of reporters leaving event before asking him anything
