President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden appear to enjoy a close relationship with each other. If you know anything about the Bidens, you’re probably aware that Joe lost his first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden, and young daughter, Naomi, in a car accident shortly before Christmas in 1972 (via Biography). The couple’s young sons, Beau and Hunter, survived the wreck. The accident came shortly after Joe became the second-youngest person ever elected as a U.S. senator. He had a new job to learn while also dealing with significant personal tragedy and raising his two young sons alone. He famously swore on the Bible, taking his oath of office in the hospital where his sons recovered from their injuries (via the United States Senate).
Although what by all accounts was a storybook romance that ended in terrible heartbreak, in 1975, Joe met a particular University of Delaware student, and his life took an unexpected turn, all thanks to a blind date.
