Perhaps it’s because she’s had plenty of practice.
Jill met her first husband, Bill Stevenson, while they were both attending the same university.
She was only 18 then, with Stevenson being a few years older, and the future looked bright.
Until it didn’t.
Then she met Joe, and a beautiful love story unfolded one that continues to this day.
He also toldInside Editionat the time that he’d be voting for Donald Trump, so there’s that.
“I said, ‘You gotta go.
You gotta go get your own place,'” Stevenson recalled.
Would they still be married right now?
Would Joe have married someone else?
Was the affair even real?
“Everyone who meets Jill falls in love with her immediately.
It’s hard not to,” Stevenson said.
“Her father was begging me to take her back when he found out what was going on.
He asked me to give her a second chance, but I wasn’t interested,” Stevenson claimed.
As with most divorces, this one got a little messy.
Whether these shady dealings also had an impact on his and Jill’s marriage isn’t clear.
“I didn’t know anybody who had been divorced.
Why couldn’t I make this work?”
she told Clarkson (viaDaily Mail).
As fate would have it, Joe Biden stepped into her life during this time.
Jill canceled a date with someone else to meet up with Joe, and the rest is history.
She didn’t have a job and barely had a dime to her name.
She still needed to finish university and no longer had a place to stay.
As hard as this period was for her, Jill was determined not to take the easy way out.
“I drummed that into [my daughter], Ashley: Be independent, be independent.
she added (viaToday).
“I am a woman who loves to work,” she told the outlet.
“If I gave Joe my whole heart, he had the power to break it.
What if he changed his mind?
What if it didn’t work?”
In the end, she took the leapandmanaged to keep her career even as First Lady.
Naturally, Jill was hesitant to jump into another relationship.
When she and Joe Bidenwent on a blind date, the latter instantly fell in love.
“I couldn’t have them lose another mother,” she told the outlet.
Per The Sun, he said that the book would “blow the lid off the sham story.”
“Everybody’s saying, ‘Bill, you’re being so mean bringing this up now.’
Despite all the hoopla, Stevenson’s book is yet to see the light.
She wouldn’t be America’s First Lady either, we should add.
