Current US President Joe Biden has received a new status - he has a great-grandson. The joyful event was shared by his wife, First Lady Jill Biden.

"We are proud to introduce you to our great-grandson: William Brannon Neal IV," Jill Biden signed the post and shared a photo.

In the photo, Joe Biden holds a rather large baby in his hands, and Jill gently adjusts the diaper in which he is wrapped.

According to reports in the American media, the boy was born weighing 10 pounds (approximately 4.6 kg). Earlier, the current US president said he was very happy about the news: "I'm going to be a great-grandfather, Lord Jesus."

It should be noted that in a conversation with journalists, the 46th President of the United States initially made a mistake - he said that he had a granddaughter, and then corrected himself. Earlier it was reported that Naomi was planning to give birth by cesarean section.

What we know about Biden's granddaughter Naomi

It is worth noting that Joe Biden's great-grandson was given to him by his eldest granddaughter Naomi. She is the daughter of Hunter Biden (Joe Biden's youngest son) and Kathleen Buehle.

Naomi is 31 years old. In September 2021, she announced her engagement to American lawyer Peter Neal, who is 3 years younger than her.

Naomi and Peter's wedding took place in November 2022 on the South Lawn of the White House. It was the first wedding of the grandson of a sitting president to take place in the White House in almost a decade.
