Jill Biden Divorced Bill Stevenson Before Marring Joe
Jill Biden married Joe Biden in 1977, roughly two years after her divorce was finalized.
Jill’s bitter legal battle with her ex-husband involved the former first lady fighting for half ownership of Stone Balloon — the popular college bar near the University of Delaware’s campus that Bill formerly owned and founded in 1971.
The hot spot ran as a major music venue, combining college drinking and concerts to make for a huge success.
The Stone Balloon hosted a number of iconic bands like The Rolling Stones an Queen before closing in 2005. It was eventually bought by new owners, who brought back the establishment’s original name despite rebranding.
She ultimately failed to score partial ownership of the bar and went on to marry former President Joe Biden in 1977.
How Did Joe and Jill Biden Meet?
Jill and Joe Biden met on a blind date in 1975.
Jill met Joe on a blind date arranged by the Democratic politician’s brother Frank in March 1975 — two months before her and Bill’s civil divorce was granted.
At the time, Joe was a 33-year-old U.S. senator and had devastatingly lost his first wife, Neilia, at age 30 and their 1-year-old daughter, Naomi, as a result of a tragic car accident in 1972.
The Bidens’ first date took place at a theater in Philadelphia, where they watched A Man and a Woman.
"I was a senior, and I had been dating guys in jeans and clogs and T-shirts. He came to the door and he had a sport coat and loafers, and I thought, 'God, this is never going to work, not in a million years,'" Jill previously recalled during a conversation with Vogue.
