Joe Biden All Smiles in New Photo With Daughter Ashley Amid Stage 4 Cancer Battle

Ashley Biden posted a carousel on her Instagram account titled "Dog Days Of Summer 2026," which opens with a photo of her father, former President Joe Biden, smiling and relaxed on a couch at home.

The social media carousel includes a photo of a comfortable Joe, followed by several family photographs featuring his son Hunter Biden and granddaughter Natalie.

The update provides a rare glimpse into the former President's life since his office announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.

The image has been widely circulated by supporters on social media platforms, who have noted that despite battling stage 4 cancer, the former president appears genuinely at peace and happy to spend quiet time with his family.

Recent posts from Biden family members have focused on reassuring supporters by showing the former POTUS smiling, staying engaged and enjoying relaxed moments with his family.

Because his stage 4 prostate cancer has spread to his bones and causes significant physical pain, according to his son Hunter, these updates intentionally capture his resilience.

In mid-August, Ashley, 45, posted a heartwarming photograph from a quiet family dinner at home.

Seated at a wooden dining table decorated with fresh flowers and candles, the 83-year-old former President is seen smiling directly at the camera and flashing a firm thumbs-up.

Ashley captioned this photo, "The love of a family is life's greatest blessing," as a direct reassurance to the public. It was released just days after Hunter, 56, and Jill Biden, 75, publicly disclosed that the cancer had become highly debilitating.

On Saturday, August 29, Joe's oldest granddaughter, Naomi Biden, 32, shared a family album on her Instagram account to celebrate her 1-year-old son, William.

The photos show the former president looking happy and at peace as he bonds with his great-grandson. He is pictured sitting outside on a porch on a warm afternoon, wearing sunglasses and gently helping the toddler steady a cup.

Supporters widely noted that despite his heavy medical treatment — which includes radiation and hormone therapy — he looked like any proud, doting grandfather enjoying quiet, unscripted family moments.

Additional photos from the family's recent downtime show the former president taking it easy, relaxing indoors with loved ones.

In these candid snaps, Joe is seen dressed comfortably on the couch. Observant followers noticed he was wearing a supportive knee brace, which is common for managing joint stability and bone pain associated with his advanced treatment. Even with the visible brace, his expressions remain bright and relaxed.

Jill shared a deeply personal update on her husband, revealing mixed but optimistic news about his treatment.

"Well, he just had scans, and they were very optimistic. And they — you know, I mean, his PSA is zero, which means that the cancer's not in the prostate anymore, but the medications are kinda daunting,” she said.
