We grew to love Joe Biden when he served as vice president under former President Barack Obama and had one of the cutest bromances this country has ever seen. Now that Joe is the President-Elect, we thought we'd take a look at the rest of the people closest to him — his children and grandchildren. Joe and his current wife, Dr. Jill Biden, share one child, but Joe has three children from his first wife, Neilia, who was killed in a car accident in the 1970s. From Joe's four children, he also has several grandchildren. Get to know all the people surrounding Joe as he ascends to the White House.

He also served as Delaware attorney general during his time in the military and after.
