We always see President Biden in big political debates, but it’s always nice to see something beyond politics about such influential people in the political world. On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Meet Cutes NYC, a popular Instagram account showcasing real-life love stories, featured a special duo: US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, where the never-known love story of them came into the limelight. In the video, the couple shared the heartwarming tale of how they first crossed paths. Joe Biden and wife Jill have completed 48 years of togetherness filled with love and resilience.
President Biden share the story behind their first encounter in 1975, revealing that it was a blind date set up by his brother. “He called me and said, ‘I go to school with this woman. You will love her, she is beautiful, and she doesn’t like politics,'” Biden recalled, reflecting on his brother’s matchmaking efforts.
Jill added, ”He called me on a Saturday afternoon, and he said, you know this is Joe Biden and I said how did you get my number? He said would you like to go out tonight I said I am sorry, I already have a date, and he said well, would you break it. I am only in for one night, so I said well, call me back in two hours and I will see what I can do.” However, fate intervened, and after a persuasive call from Joe, she agreed to reconsider.
At the time, Joe was a 33-year-old senator, while Jill was 24. Despite both having been married before, their connection blossomed from the moment they met.
Their journey to marriage wasn’t without hurdles. Jill shared that she rejected joe’s proposal 5 times before she finally said yes. Jill revealed her apprehensions, understanding the weight of joining a family that had already endured profound loss. As a widow and single father to sons Beau and Hunter following the tragic car accident that claimed his first wife and daughter’s lives, Joe Biden’s commitment to his family was paramount.
“You have to remember, it wasn’t just my heart that was on the line… I knew that if we were gonna get married, it had to work, it had to be forever because they had already lost their mother and sister,” Jill poignantly expressed.
The touching love story resonated deeply with internet users, who flooded the comment section with messages of adoration and support. Many praised the couple’s enduring bond and the genuine affection they continue to share after nearly five decades together
