Joe Bidenmight be president of the United States, but to his grandchildren, he’s just “Pop.”

On Jan. 8, 2025, Biden became a first-time great-grandfather whenNaomi welcomed her first son, William.

It is no secret that Biden and his grandchildren are close. “They’re crazy about me and I’m crazy about them,” the president said on an episode of theSmartLesspodcast in 2022. “Every single day,I contact every one of my grandchildren.”

Biden’s grandkids have been there for his big political moments. They watched himbecome the 46th presidentand supported his decision todrop out of the 2024 presidential race.

“I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul,” Naomi wrote on X (formerly Twitter) following the news in July 2024. “Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history.”

Here’s everything to know about President Biden’s seven grandchildren.

President Biden and his eldest grandchild have quite a close bond, and Naomi occasionally gives glimpses into their relationship on Instagram. In February 2021, she shared a snap of thetwo racing in a game ofMario Kartwhile at Camp David.

“Secret Service made an exception and let him drive himself,” she wrote above a photo of her and Biden playing the arcade-style game, adding, “A little rusty but he still won (barely).”

In June 2024, Naomi testified duringHunter’s federal gun trial. She spoke about her dad’s addiction struggles and the time she visited him in rehab.

As a student, Finnegan led a successful campaign to extend the university’s pass/fail deadline in 2020. As UPenn’s student-run publication34th Street Magazinereported, Finnegan started a petition on Change.org to adjust the deadline. “I was thinking of ways to enact change and to talk about it productively [so] the school might respond, and [the petition] seemed like the most productive [way] to show the school that the students really did care about this,” she told the publication.

Finnegan graduated in 2021 and her older sister Naomi celebrated the exciting accomplishment on Instagram. “BURSTING WITH PRIDE AND PERPETUALLY IN AWE OF MY FIRST LOVE AND LITTLE SIS @finneganbiden ilysmsmsmsm,” Naomi wrote alongside aphoto of Finnegan in graduation attire.

During her grandfather’s tenure as vice president from 2009 to 2017, Maisy grew up in Washington D.C. and attended Sidwell Friends School withBarack Obama’s younger daughter,Sasha. Maisy and Sasha became “best friends,” according to Obama, and even played on the same fourth-grade basketball team, the Vipers, which the then-president coached.

According to Obama,Maisy was the team’s star player. “Maisy was like the LeBron of the league,” he said on Dax Shepard’sArmchair Expertpodcast in 2021. “She dominated. She was great, you know, and we went undefeated. The Vipers ruled.”

In addition to basketball, Maisy also playedlacrosse and soccerin high school.

In January 2021, Natalie joined her older cousins and aunt Ashley for a sit-down interview withToday’sJenna Bush Hager. During the discussion, Biden’s daughter and grandchildren shared some of their favorite memories with the now-president.

“Thanksgiving I think is all of our favorite holiday,” Natalie told Bush Hager. “Because we usually go to Nantucket … Maisy and I and my grandpa and my uncle and my dad … we used to do a Polar Bear plunge in Nantucket in November.”

Cousin Maisy added, “It would always be crazy because they would have to bring all the divers and swimmers for Secret Service for my Pop. And it’s like me and Natalie and him holding hands, sprinting into the water.”

Natalie alsovoted for the first timein October 2022 — and joined her grandfather to cast an early ballot in Wilmington, Delaware.

The younger son of Beau and Hallie, Robert “Hunter” Biden II was born in 2006. He is President Biden’s fifth grandchild and first grandson.

Before Biden launched his presidential bid in 2019, his grandchildren told him the decision was a good one. According to Naomi, it was even her younger cousin Hunter who showed Biden a tabloid story about the family to assure their grandfather they could handle the inevitable scrutiny. “I think it was actuallylittle Hunter who showed him[a tabloid story on his phone] but then basically said him, ‘We know it’s going to be bad,'” said Naomi. “‘But we have each other and we know the truth. And we will be okay.’ So I think he came out of that meeting feeling a little bit more comforted.”

In April 2021, the Biden family gathered forHunter’s confirmationat St. Joseph on the Brandywine, the Catholic church where the president and first lady regularly attend Mass. Biden has been vocal about the importance of faith in his life, telling PEOPLE, “My religion, for me, is a safe place. I never miss Mass, because I can be alone. I’m with my family but just kind of absorbing the fundamental principle that you’ve got to treat everyone with dignity.”

Navy Roberts, 6

In August 2018, Hunter fathered a daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, with an Arkansas woman named Lunden Roberts. The following year, Lunden sued Hunter for paternity and child support, although at the time, he publicly denied the claims. DNA testing laterconfirmed Hunter as the father.

The legal dispute between Lunden and Hunter worked its way through Arkansas courts for more than four years and led to a settlement in June 2023, the terms of which were not made public.

As the legal proceedings made headlines, Republicans criticized President Biden for previously touting his “six grandchildren,” claiming he wasn’t acknowledging Navy.

In a July 2023 statement provided exclusively to PEOPLE, President Biden pushed back at the criticism, saying, “Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward. This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter. Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”

A source familiar with the situation told PEOPLE that the recently resolved child support dispute between Hunter and Lunden has dictated how the relationship has played out so far.

“You have to remember there were some fairly contentious legal proceedings between Navy’s parents happening until just a few weeks ago. As grandparents, the Bidens are following Hunter’s lead,” the source said, adding, “They are — and have been — giving Hunter and Lunden the space and time to figure things out.”

The source further said the situation is a family issue.

“Thousands of families have faced similar circumstances, working it out in private, versus the spotlight," the source told PEOPLE. “At the center is a 4-year-old girl and everyone wants what is best for her, including all of her grandparents.”
