WILMINGTON, DELAWARE: A wild claim has been making the rounds that Jill Biden was a teenage babysitter for Joe Biden’s children before they started dating.
The rumor has been gaining traction online, with many on social media insisting that Jill was a teenager looking after Biden’s children when their relationship began. Some posts have even suggested that their age gap meant Biden was already in his 30s while Jill was still in her teens.
One alleged on X (formerly Twitter) that Jill first met Joe “when she was a teenage girl babysitting his children.”

Jill Biden talks about how ethical and honorable Joe has been from when she first met him when she was a teenage girl babysitting his children. He is the same man now.

“Jill was and still is Joe Biden’s babysitter,” another insisted.
“Was that when she was babysitting for Joe’s first wife?” someone else asked.
Some went even further, questioning how Biden ever got elected: “This entire family has issues! I don’t know how he got elected!”

According to Snopes, Jill Biden was never a teenage babysitter for Joe Biden’s children. The couple first met in 1975, when Jill was in her mid-20s – years after the former president’s first wife Neilia Hunter Biden tragically died.

It’s worth noting that Jill was born on June 3, 1951, while Biden was born on November 20, 1942 – making them nearly nine years apart in age. Given that Biden was already in his 30s when he became a senator, there is no way Jill could have still been a teenager when they started dating.
