Full articleHallie Olivere Biden (born July 1973) is an American school counselor from Wilmington, Delaware, and a member of the Biden family through her marriage to Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III, the eldest son of U.S. President Joe Biden. She grew up in the same community as the Bidens, with her mother maintaining a longtime friendship with Joe Biden, and later worked in education and non-profit roles.
Olivere married Beau Biden in 2002, and the couple had two children: daughter Natalie Naomi (born 2004) and son Robert Hunter (born 2006). Beau Biden, then Delaware's Attorney General, died of glioblastoma in 2015 at age 46, leaving Olivere to raise their young children amid family grief. In the years following, she began a romantic relationship with Hunter Biden, Beau's younger brother, which started around 2017 and ended in 2019; the involvement, while receiving some family endorsement, attracted scrutiny for its familial proximity and overlap with Hunter's personal struggles.
The relationship gained renewed attention during Hunter Biden's 2024 federal firearms trial, where Olivere testified about discovering an unloaded.38-caliber revolver in his vehicle in October 2018, prompting her to dispose of it in a grocery store dumpster out of concern that her children might access it amid his crack cocaine use. She described panicking upon finding the gun and related drug paraphernalia, actions that prosecutors highlighted as evidence of Hunter's addiction during the period he falsely denied drug use on a federal firearms form. This episode underscored broader family dynamics involving loss, support, and Hunter's legal accountability for possessing the firearm as a prohibited user.
In brief
Olivere worked in classrooms and counseling offices in Wilmington and Claymont before widowhood made her a public name.
The foundation is the work she chose after 2015. She has kept the focus on children, which was her profession before it was a memorial.
