Jill Biden was born in June 1951 while Joe Biden was born in November 1942. That means he was 8-and-a-half years old when his future second wife was born. When he and Jill met, he was 32 and she was 23. The age difference did seem like a problem for Jill initially. “He was 9 years older than I am!” she exclaimed in a 2016 Vogue interview. And he looked it, too. Still a college student at the time, Jill was used to guys who were nothing like Joe.
“I had been dating guys in jeans and clogs and T-shirts, he came to the door and he had a sport coat and loafers, and I thought, ‘God, this is never going to work, not in a million years,'” she said. When they returned from seeing “A Man and a Woman” in Philadelphia, Jill thought that the problem had been the other men she was used to. “I went upstairs and called my mother at 1:00 a.m. and said, ‘Mom, I finally met a gentleman,'” she recalled.
But all the evidence hasn’t stopped the Bidens from being at the center of fake narratives about her being a teenager when they met. In 2021, shortly after Joe assumed the presidency, a viral post started to circulate claiming a 15-year-old Jill had been babysitting for Joe and his first wife, Neilia Biden, when the relationship started. The post used a photo shared by Jill herself in 2020, seen above.
