President Joe Biden Breaks Silence on Granddaughter Navy Roberts

Introduction

President Joe Biden has finally broken his silence on his 4-year-old granddaughter, Navy Joan Roberts, after facing backlash for not acknowledging her as his seventh grandchild. In a statement to People magazine, Biden expressed that he and his wife, Jill, want what is best for all of their grandchildren, including Navy. This acknowledgment comes after years of silence and confusion surrounding the relationship between the president and Navy.

Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts

The backstory of Biden’s relationship with Navy stems from his son, Hunter Biden, who fathered Navy in August 2018 with Lunden Roberts. The two reportedly met at a strip club in Washington, DC, where Roberts worked as a stripper. However, their relationship evolved, and Roberts eventually became Hunter’s personal assistant, according to a source close to her.

Lawsuit and Settlement

In May 2019, Lunden Roberts filed a lawsuit requesting a DNA test to establish Hunter’s paternity shortly after he removed her and Navy from his health insurance. The lawsuit turned into a lengthy and contentious battle, but eventually, Hunter and Roberts reached a settlement. Hunter agreed to provide an undisclosed amount in child support, a number of his own paintings, and a college fund for Navy.

Biden’s Statement

President Biden made it clear that he supports the relationship between his son and Navy’s mother, Lunden. He mentioned that they are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, emphasizing the need to preserve Navy’s privacy. Biden emphasized that this is not a political issue but a family matter. The president’s statement highlights his commitment to his family, despite any previous controversy.

Lack of Acknowledgment

Until now, President Biden had not publicly acknowledged Navy as his granddaughter. In April, during the White House’s “Take Your Child to Work Day,” Biden mentioned that he has six grandchildren and is in constant contact with them. This inconsistency raised concerns and led to criticism. Critics argued that the president’s failure to recognize Navy went against his image as a family-first father and grandfather.

The Backlash

The president’s refusal to acknowledge Navy recently attracted more backlash, with critics deeming it as “cruel.” This dismissal contradicted the compassionate and family-oriented persona that Joe Biden strives to portray. The public insisted that it was essential for Biden to address the situation and recognize Navy as a valued member of his family.

Future Visits

There is uncertainty regarding any visits that the Bidens may make to Navy and Lunden in Arkansas, where they currently reside. It remains to be seen if the president will take steps to include Navy in his public image and his family life moving forward. The White House has yet to comment on this matter.

President Joe Biden’s acknowledgment of his granddaughter Navy brings closure to a long-standing issue and reiterates his commitment to his family. Despite the controversy and criticism, the president’s words reflect his desire to do what is best for all of his grandchildren. As the nation observes Biden’s presidency, it is hoped that the focus will remain on his policies and leadership, rather than peripheral family matters.
