What We Know About Joe Biden's Seventh Grandchild Navy Joan

When Navy Joan was born, the controversial Hunter Biden denied that he was her father of the little girl. Her mother, Lunden Roberts, never swayed from her story that the two had a brief sexual encounter during her employment as an adult entertainer at a strip club in Washington, D.C., which resulted in her pregnancy. In late 2019, a paternity test confirmed that he was indeed the father. As a result, Hunter was forced to fork over an estimated $20,000 in child support, as well as retroactive payments dating back to the time Navy was born. As of May 2023, he'd reportedly already paid Roberts $750,000 but argued that he should have to pay a much lower monthly bill for the girl. While it has been reported that the payments were bumped down to $20,000 a month, his team has not confirmed this figure.

As part of the settlement, Roberts was also given costly paintings from Hunter that could be sold for the child's benefit. However, the mother also agreed to drop her petition to have Navy Joan use her father's last name. In his 2021 biography, "Beautiful Things," he admitted that due to his heavy drug use, he had no recollection of having sex with Roberts, which is why he challenged her over the paternity of their daughter.
