Jill Biden celebrated her husband, Joe Biden, on Father’s Day in a social media post that paid tribute to their family and expressed sympathy for those “missing their dads today.”
“To the father of my children, @POTUS, your boundless love for our family is our anchor,” she tweeted Sunday. “We love you, Joe. Happy #FathersDay.”
The first lady commemorated the holiday with an old photo of the couple on the beach with their children: Hunter, 51, Ashley, 40, and Beau, who died in 2015 brain cancer at age 46.
She also reminisced about her own father, the late Donald Jacobs, a naval signalman in World War II whom Biden dubbed “my first hero.”
“If I close my eyes, I can still hear his encouraging voice saying, ‘Good for you, Jilly-bean!'” she wrote. “I miss him every day, especially on Father’s Day. My heart is with those who are also missing their dads today.”

The former first lady joined in on the Father’s Day festivities, honoring Obama with a candid throwback photo of the former president in the Oval Office with their daughters, Malia, 22, and Sasha, 20.
“Happy #FathersDay to all the dads out there—especially the one and only @BarackObama!” she captioned the post. “Our daughters couldn’t have asked for a better role model. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives.”
