A social media claim resurfaced in August 2026 alleging Jill Biden was a 15-year-old babysitter for Joe Biden's children when the couple began dating, with posts using an authentic photo paired with fabricated details.
Public records show Jill Biden was born in 1951 and Joe Biden in 1942, making them nine years apart; the two met in 1975 when Jill was a college senior in her twenties, three years after Joe's first wife died in a car crash.
The rumor, previously debunked in 2021 and 2025, relies on real photographs from 1975-1976 but attaches false captions about their ages and how they met; one 2026 version reportedly used a digitally altered image.
