Ashley Biden publicly discussed her marriage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention while introducing her father. “At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception,” she said, describing how then-Vice President Joe Biden personally organized their wedding reception details.
Low Public Profile Throughout Marriage
The couple had maintained a relatively low public profile throughout their 13-year marriage, with Ashley focusing on her work in social advocacy and nonprofit leadership. On the day she filed the divorce petition, Biden posted to Instagram a photograph of herself walking through a park with a thumbs up gesture, paired with Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.” She accompanied the image with a caption about moving forward: “New life, new beginnings, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.” The post appeared to reference personal changes, though Biden did not directly address the divorce announcement on social media.
