Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Accused of Affair: "Wife Committed Infidelity During Marriage"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Allegations have been raised that former U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden met his current wife, Jill Biden, through an extramarital affair. The person making the allegations is Jill Biden's ex-husband.

According to Fox News on the 18th (local time), Bill Stevenson, Jill Biden's ex-husband, claimed that his wife was already having an affair with Biden while they were married.

The Biden couple has stated that they met in 1975 and married in 1977. At that time, Biden had already lost his wife in a car accident, and Mrs. Biden had divorced her previous husband.

However, Stevenson's claim differs. He said the two started getting close in 1972. Both Stevenson and Mrs. Biden worked on the election campaign for Biden, who was running for U.S. Senator from Delaware. That year, Biden's first wife died in a traffic accident.

Stevenson revealed that in August 1974, he suspected an affair between Biden and his wife. At that time, he asked his wife to go see a concert by American rock singer Bruce Springsteen, but she refused, saying she had to take care of Biden's children.

A close friend at the time also hinted that "Biden and Jill Biden were too close."

Then, a few months later, a man involved in a car accident suggested getting an accident estimate, and after hearing this man's words, Stevenson became convinced of the affair. According to this man, the person driving Jill Biden's car was Biden, who was then a Delaware senator. This incident led Stevenson to be certain of their affair and to separate.

Stevenson is preparing a book containing these revelations. He said, "I have no intention of hurting anyone," but added, "The truth is the truth, and what happened happened."

Meanwhile, Biden's camp declined to comment on Stevenson's claims.
