Ever sinceJoe Bidenbecame president of the United States, there’s been a lot of interest in his family.
When she met Biden, both were freshly out of long-term relationships, but they instantly clicked.
The pair had their first child together in 2020.
She was actually born and raised on the other side of the world, in South Africa.
She allegedly then learned English at 6 years old.
In terms of her activism, friends have said that she’s passionate about animal rights and antisemitism.
She is reportedly a member of both Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd.
So, what exactly is Cohen’s focus as a filmmaker?
The film’s crowdfunding campaign was reportedly canceled in 2016 after failing to raise any money.
As several friends explained to theDaily Mail, she’s always been unpredictable and unconventional.
One friend even said that she is a “hippie chick” at heart.
“She is probably the free-est spirit that I know and is deeply loved by all.”
However, another friend said that Cohen’s love of living spontaneously could sometimes alienate people.
“Melissa was very promiscuous and pushed the boundaries a lot more than other people.
She reportedly spent some time at a school in Mantua, Italy.
She then enrolled at the University of Johannesburg and majored in architecture.
It was there that she met American businessman Jason Landver, her first husband.
When she first came to America, she reportedly had another fast courtship with Jason Landver.
When her American visa was about to run out, Cohen allegedly gave Landver an ultimatum.
“Jason was besotted, so he obliged,” Cohen’s acquaintance said.
“She has this way about her that makes guys lose their mind.
She has this alluring magnetism, an ethereal beauty that sucks guys in.”
The pair got married in 2011 in South Africa at a vineyard.
Apparently, Cohen was soon living a glamorous life thanks to her wealthy husband.
“They loved to travel together and spent around a year living in Hong Kong.”
The pair allegedly dated for two years, and Cohen even lived with Mendez and his three children.
“Wow, she just broke up with Rob!
So I’m quite shocked by this being so sudden after their breakup,” a friend reportedly wrote.
Mendez told Page Six that he and Cohen had “a very, very good relationship.
The best I’ve ever had.”
In fact, she allegedly helped him and his children develop healthier habits.
As he put it, “She actually turned our house around.”
They gave him their friend’s number and he texted her that evening.
Their first date didn’t exactly go to plan.
Biden recalled how he had invited Cohen for a morning coffee, but she didn’t appear until dinnertime.
Within an hour, he had confessedhis drug addiction problemand told her he loved her (viaForward).

You’re finished with that.”
She even deleted everyone except for his family members from his phone.
The next day, May 15, Cohen accepted Biden’s marriage proposal.
As Biden toldThe New Yorker, he also bought Cohen a simple gold wedding band.
One day later, they were married.
“The decision never felt rash or harebrained or reckless,” wrote Biden.
“It felt urgent.
I felt like I’d been given a reprieve” (viaForward).
Shortly after the wedding, Hunter called his father, Joe Biden, to tell him the news.
“I called my dad and said that we just got married,” Biden toldThe New Yorker.
By all accounts, Cohen couldn’t have been happier in the early months of her marriage.
Her father also made a statement to Page Six, saying, “She seems very happy.
I’ve only spoken to Hunter briefly.
She’s a very special girl.
She has lots of poise and she’s very present” (via theEvening Standard).
Biden also told ABC, “I’m actually having an incredible extended honeymoon with my beautiful bride.”
She added, “We will resist you.”
Cohen has also voiced her support for the Democrats.
“We are ecstatic about the baby,” Garyn also said.
Cohen has since been spotted with her son and her husband.
In 2021, they were seen eating at a Greek restaurant in Malibu.
It seems that Cohen is eager to pass on some of her South African cultural heritage to her son.
When a federal investigation was launched against Biden, this put a strain on things for the couple.
According to her friends, life with Biden became “hard” for Cohen.
It is extremely frustrating for both of them."
Another source told theNew York Postthat the pressure was becoming hard for Cohen to deal with.
“The reality is he’s a train wreck and life with him is very hard behind closed doors.
She had no idea what she was getting into,” the source said.
“But there is still love there, and she loves her son.
She is focusing on him for now, that’s all she can do.”
