Biden Reportedly Wants to Meet Granddaughter He Previously Refused to Acknowledge Existed

President Joe Biden reportedly wants to meet his granddaughter, four-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, who he refused to publicly acknowledge existed until last week, NBC News reported Wednesday.

Biden recognized his seventh grandchild – having previously insisted he only had six – for the first time in a statement Friday. Biden now reportedly wants to meet Navy in person in an effort to dissipate rumors that he was ignoring her existence, according to people who spoke to NBC News.

It is currently unclear when and where the visit will take place, NBC reported. It is also unclear whether Navy’s mother and father, Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, will be in attendance.

Hunter Biden has reportedly never met his daughter, who was born in 2018. Biden reportedly waited to acknowledge Navy until he got the go-ahead from Hunter Biden, according to NBC.
