Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi announces she's expecting first child with husband Peter Neal
WASHINGTON, DC: Naomi Biden, the 30-year-old eldest granddaughter of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, announced on the night of the 2024 presidential election that she is expecting her first child.
Sharing the exciting news on her Instagram story, Naomi posted a picture of herself sporting a noticeable baby bump, with the caption “(we) voted” and an “I voted” sticker prominently displayed.

This announcement comes as the Biden family prepares to welcome its first great-grandchild, making it a significant moment in the family's growing legacy.
Naomi’s pregnancy had been the subject of widespread speculation for months before her announcement. Back in May, Daily Mail exclusively reported that Naomi and her husband, Peter Neal, were expecting.
Throughout the year, Naomi’s wardrobe choices had sparked curiosity. Known for her slim figure, she had been spotted wearing loose-fitting attire at several high-profile events, which many interpreted as an attempt to keep her pregnancy under wraps.
Speculation surrounds Naomi Biden’s pregnancy before official announcement
At a White House state dinner in May, Naomi Biden and Neal's appearance was closely scrutinized when Neal appeared to gesture toward his wife’s stomach while they posed for photos. Naomi’s flowing, pleated metallic dress appeared to suggest a baby bump, further fueling the rumors.
The speculation continued during Naomi’s public appearances later in the year. At the G7 summit in Italy, she was seen wearing loose black clothing, and at the Democratic National Convention in August, she made a point of standing behind other family members when the Biden clan joined President Biden on stage after his speech.
At a state dinner for Japan in April, Naomi took extra care to keep her midsection covered by strategically placing her handbag over her stomach in photos, a move that only added to the growing speculation.
Now, with her Instagram post, Naomi has confirmed that she and Neal are expecting. This will be the first great-grandchild for the Biden family, a milestone that adds a personal touch to the political events unfolding in the country.
Naomi’s pregnancy adds personal touch to Biden family amid election season
If President Biden were to remain in the race for reelection, he would soon be stepping into the role of "great-grandfather" — a term that would add another familial layer to his already complex public persona.
With the 2024 election at the forefront, the announcement of Naomi’s pregnancy provides a brief but joyful moment for the Biden family amidst the political turmoil.
Naomi is the daughter of Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle. She and Peter Neal were married in a lavish ceremony at the White House in November 2022, marking the first time a presidential grandchild had wed on the White House lawn.
The couple's wedding was attended by Naomi’s sisters, Finnegan and Maisey, and her half-brother Beau, the son of Hunter’s second wife, Melissa Cohen. Naomi’s close ties to her family are often visible at public events, where she and her sisters are frequently seen supporting their grandfather, President Biden.
In addition to her role as a public figure, Naomi works as a lawyer in Washington, DC. She and Neal had lived in the White House in the months leading up to their wedding and currently reside in Georgetown.
