Early Life
Ashley Biden was born on June 8, 1981, in Wilmington, Delaware, United States of America. Her father, Joe Biden, had been active in politics since 1969. He was previously married to Neilia Hunter from 1966 to 1972. They had three children, Beau Biden, Hunter Biden, and Naomi Biden. The three children along with Neilia met with a vehicular accident on 18th December 1972. After a tractor-trailer slammed against their station wagon at an intersection, their mother, Neilia, and sister, Naomi, perished. However, Beau and Hunter survived the condition.
On June 17, 1977, Joe Biden and Jill exchanged wedding vows in a Catholic ceremony held at the Chapel at the United Nations in New York. It was his two sons, Beau and Hunter, who convinced him to remarry. In 1999, Ashley was arrested by the police for possessing Marijuana. However, the prosecutor declined to press the charges against her. About a decade later, a 43-minute hidden-camera video that reportedly shows Ashley taking cocaine was been tried to sell to the ‘New York Post’. However, the Post did not purchase the video but they did run a story on it. In January 2015, Ashley lost her half-brother, Beau to Brain Cancer. She is also the aunt of Hunter’s three children: Finnegan, Maisy, and Naomi.
