The mother of Hunter Biden’s child has finally come out in defense of her former lover.
Writing for the U.K. Daily Mail, 32-year-old Lunden Roberts explained that despite the pair previously going to court over paternity tests and child support, she now hopes that Biden and Navy Joan can enjoy a loving father-daughter relationship.
“I’m probably the last person you might expect to leap to his defense,” Roberts wrote towards the beginning of the article. “And yet that’s precisely why I’ve decided to speak out.”
“The world knows all about Hunter’s addiction issues, mostly because Hunter has been so candid about them himself,” she wrote. “Yes, he’s led a privileged life, but Hunter has also lived in the public eye with political opponents who seize upon his mistakes and use his addiction against him.”
“Honestly, I’ve had a taste of that myself, but the hurtful things that have been written about me are nothing in comparison to how Hunter has been portrayed,” she continued.
“One day soon, Navy Joan is going to be old enough to search the internet, seeing the countless newspaper articles dedicated to her father’s transgressions, and I cannot fathom how she may feel.”

“I have no desire to add to that. What kind of mom would want to pour more fuel on this fire? I’ve seen what addiction can do to people, and I think it’s cruel that Hunter has had to go through recovery with a target on his back.”
After Navy Joan was born in late 2018, Hunter denied that he was the father and eventually was forced to take a DNA test to confirm her parentage.
