The Brief

    • President Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi gave birth to her first child, a boy, in Los Angeles.
    • The baby, William Brannon Neal IV, is the president’s first great-grandchild.
    • Biden is believed to be the first sitting president to become a great-grandfather while in office.

LOS ANGELES - President Joe Biden is celebrating a new family milestone: becoming a great-grandfather. On Wednesday, his granddaughter Naomi Biden Neal welcomed her first child, a son named William Brannon Neal IV, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

During an official briefing on the wildfires in Southern California, Biden shared the joyful news, saying, "The good news is I’m a great-grandfather as of today." The president and first lady Jill Biden later visited Naomi and her husband, Peter Neal, at the hospital to meet their new great-grandson. The visit lasted about 40 minutes, according to the White House.

Who is Naomi Biden Neal?

Naomi Biden Neal, 31, is the eldest daughter of Hunter Biden and his former wife, Kathleen Buhle. She married Peter Neal, 27, in November 2022 in a high-profile White House wedding on the South Lawn.

The couple announced Naomi’s pregnancy on Election Day 2023 with a playful Instagram post featuring her baby bump. The new arrival also makes Hunter Biden a grandfather for the first time.

Biden makes history as a sitting great-grandfather

At 82, President Biden is believed to be the first sitting U.S. president to become a great-grandfather. This rare milestone adds to the multigenerational legacy of the Biden family, as Biden balances his duties as both president and family patriarch.

The president’s announcement came during a trip to California, where he is monitoring wildfire recovery efforts. The brief pause to celebrate his growing family highlights a personal moment during an otherwise demanding schedule.
