The First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, announced that she receives a romantic and exciting gift from her husband, President Joe Biden, every Christmas. In an interview with actress Drew Barrymore on her talk show, she said, "Every year, Joe gives me a poem. He used to buy me a book, and every year he writes poems in it." Barrymore asked Joe Biden if he really writes the poetry himself, to which he replied while holding his wife's hand, "Of course, I write it myself... I have a lot to write about." He added that he proposed to Jill five times before she agreed to become his wife. For Biden, this is his second marriage after the death of his first wife and their daughter in a car accident. The president said, "When I went on my first date with her, I knew she was the right woman... it really was like that. I have fallen in love twice in my life, and both times I knew it instantly." According to him, his children from his first marriage, Beau and Hunter, encouraged him to marry Jill. For her part, the First Lady expressed that she was hesitant because she needed to ensure they could create a happy family for children who had recently suffered a tragedy.
