President Joe Biden only acknowledged six of his seven grandchildren at a White House event, neglecting to mention one of the children of the president’s son Hunter Biden.
The president was speaking at a Take Your Child to Work Day event on the South Lawn of the White House Thursday, when he said he speaks to his “six grandchildren” every single day.

“I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day — not a joke,” Biden said. “As a matter of fact, I just got finished going through the calls, and only one of them answered the phone, but at least I got to leave a message.”
Biden then described six grandchildren of his grandchildren, Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy, Natalie, Hunter, and Beau. The president neglected to mention the girl his son Hunter fathered in 2018.
“And guess what, they’re crazy about me because I pay so much attention to them,” Biden said.
Hunter Biden is currently in a legal battle with Lunden Roberts, the mother of his commonly unacknowledged child, over child support payments.
The child between Biden and Roberts was born in Arkansas in August 2018. The child was conceived while he was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his brother Beau Biden’s widow, and has been living with her mother.
The younger Biden had initially denied paternity and any memory of meeting the mother at the Mpire Club in Washington, D.C. A DNA test in 2019 proved his paternity, and Biden settled with Roberts for $2.5 million in 2020, but the case was later reopened.
In December 2022, lawyers for Roberts filed to change the surname of her 4-year-old daughter to “Biden,” arguing the Biden name is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful.”

Hunter Biden has been ordered to attend a May 1 hearing at the courthouse in Batesville, Arkansas, by the circuit judge overseeing the case.
This is not the first time Joe Biden has publicly snubbed Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock daughter. For Christmas displays at the White House in 2021 and 2022, the Bidens hung Christmas stockings for each of their grandchildren, with the exception of the daughter Hunter Biden had with Roberts.
