Joe Biden's granddaughter, Naomi Biden, made history in November 2022 with her White House wedding to her Peter Neal, when she became the first bride to tie the knot on the South Lawn.

She's close with her grandfather, President Joe Biden, whom she calls "Pops."
"He'll pick up our calls no matter where he is," Naomi said in an interview in 2020. "He'll be onstage, giving a speech, and we'd call him and he'd be like, 'What's wrong?!' "
On a recent podcast episode, President Biden shares he talks with his granddaughters daily. "They're crazy about me and I'm crazy about them. Every single day, I contact every one of my grandchildren," told SmartLess.
She currently lives at the White House with her grandparents and husband, Peter.
She graduated from Columbia Law School in 2020.
