President Joe Biden made his first public statement acknowledging his 4-year-old granddaughter on Friday.

The president made a statement with first lady Jill Biden referring to Navy Joan Roberts, the daughter of Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, to People magazine. “Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward," Joe Biden said in a report released around 5 p.m.

Navy Joan Roberts, who resides in Arkansas, is one of the president's seven grandchildren, but she has been the only member Joe Biden has not publicly debuted despite the importance of family being a staple of his presidency.

"This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter," Joe Biden's statement said. "Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”

The statement comes after a plea deal between Hunter Biden and the Justice Department over tax charges fell through Wednesday after a federal judge raised concerns over the terms of the agreement.

Hunter Biden originally tried denying paternity, resulting in Roberts filing a paternity dispute in 2019. A paternity test confirmed Navy was the child of Hunter Biden, and he agreed in 2020 to pay $20,000 per month in child support.

He settled the child support case last month in an Arkansas state court after attempting to reduce the monthly payments. While it is unclear what Hunter Biden’s monthly child support payments will be after the settlement, the filing states he will give Navy some of his paintings. Navy’s last name will not be Biden after Roberts made an earlier attempt to change it.

Hunter Biden is the father of five children. He has three daughters with his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle — Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy. He welcomed his youngest son, Beau Biden Jr., with his current wife, Melissa Cohen, in 2020. He had Navy in 2018 with Lunden Roberts.
