“Much love and understanding” – New First Lady Jill is the backbone of the Biden family
She had to be persuaded to marry, but with good reason. And now that her husband becomes president, she still wants to go to work. Who is Jill, Joe Biden’s wife?
Joe and Jill Biden after the election victory was known.
She rejected his marriage proposals four times, not because Jill Jacobs didn’t like the young widower and senator. It was because the teacher, whose first marriage was to the owner of a concert hall in Wilmington, Delaware, was worried about Joe Biden’s two sons. The two children, whose mother Neilia died in a car accident in 1972, “had such warm hearts,” Jill Biden later recalled. “I really had to be sure it would work because I didn’t want to break their hearts.”
When Joe proposed to her for the fifth time, it finally worked: Jill said “Yes” and married Joe Biden on June 17, 1977. And even today, at 77 years old, he ravishes when he says about her, 69 years old. , speaks. Jill is the backbone of her family, the presidential candidate said Tuesday, congratulating Jill on her speech at the virtual Democratic Party conference.
Elsewhere, Joe claimed that his wife had managed to “cure” his family after the traumatic death of his first wife. As First Lady by his side, she would do the same across the country “with much love and understanding,” Biden promised.
She prefers to stay in the background
Jill never put herself in the limelight and focused on her teaching career (in 2007 she received her Ph.D. from the University of Delaware) and the joint family. (In 1981, Joe and Jill became parents to a daughter.)

When she was sworn in as vice president in 2009, she decided to teach an English class at a community college in the Washington agglomeration. “A very strict teacher” is the consensus among former students. She and First Lady Michelle Obama also spent a lot of time with the families of veterans of the military.
Joe was proclaimed president-elect on November 7, but Jill still wants to teach again, as long as it is safe to return to American classrooms. “I’m a teacher”, that’s her passion.
