In a joyful moment during the election season, President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, revealed she is expecting her first child with her husband, Peter George Heermann Neal. Naomi, the daughter of Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, shared this happy news on Election Day, marking a special moment for the Biden family.
Naomi shared her pregnancy news with her Instagram followers by posting a photo of her baby bump alongside an “I voted” sticker. She captioned the image with “We voted” along with the American flag and upside-down face emojis, making the announcement both heartfelt and patriotic. This baby will be the first great-grandchild for Joe and Jill Biden, as reported by The Daily Beast.
Naomi Biden, who has often been seen by her grandfather’s side at various state events, holds a special place in the Biden family history. She became the first presidential grandchild to be married at the White House, tying the knot with Peter Neal on the South Lawn. Naomi was also present at high-profile events like the G7 summit in Italy this past June. According to Daily Mail, speculation around her pregnancy began in May at a state dinner, where it quickly became “the talk” of the evening.
Peter Neal has had an active background in politics and public service. As reported by Guest of a Guest, he interned for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and later took a position in the Obama-Biden administration. Together, Peter and Naomi created an application in 2020 to assist small businesses with calculating eligibility for CARES Act benefits. Explaining their motivation, they shared on their website, “After spending hours reading the stimulus bill and trying to understand what it meant for ourselves, as well as Peter’s family’s small business in Wyoming, we were struck by the difficulty of navigating what should be accessible information for struggling small businesses and individuals during a crisis like this.”
Neal proposed to Naomi in September 2021, presenting her with his grandmother’s engagement ring, a gesture that added sentimental value to their relationship. The couple celebrated their wedding the following year at the White House, a fitting location for a family deeply connected to the country’s political legacy.
