Confidences in the White House. Drew Barrymore, YouTube talk show host, The Drew Barrymore ShowHe went to meet the presidential couple, Joe and Jill Biden, at the White House.
“Every year he gives me a poem,” revealed Jill Biden, when asked about the gifts she receives from her husband at Christmas. “She has a book, which she bought me, and every year she writes a poem in it.”
“Are you writing the poem yourself?” Drew Barrymore asks Joe Biden. “Of course. There’s so much to say,” he replies, placing her hand on his wife’s.
“There are no better gifts than the ones you make yourself, the ones you can’t buy,” marvels the actress. “It’s not enough, but it helps,” the president of the United States responded humorously, specifying that he “loves” to go shopping to find a gift for Jill “.
Referring to their relationship, Drew Barrymore recalls that Joe Biden had to propose to Jill five times before she accepted. “When I first saw her, I knew it was her,” recalls Joe Biden, who says he met Jill on a blind date set up by her brother.
It was under pressure from his two sons, Beau and Hunter, then 6 and 7, that Joe Biden proposed to Jill. “Dad, we should marry Jill,” they said in unison.
“I had to be absolutely sure that this marriage was going to work,” Jill Biden reserves, explaining her hesitation. “They had lost their mother and their sister. And I thought to myself that it had to work, because they had already lost so much.”
Joe Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and their youngest daughter, Naomi, were killed in a car accident in 1972. Beau and Hunter, who were in the car hit by a truck, were injured. It is because of them that Joe Biden found the strength to continue living. “He had given up on dating anyone,” he says.
“Twice in my life I fell in love, and both times I knew it right away.”
