Former President Joe Biden and his family have endured several tragedies over the years.
Biden married his first wife, Neilia Hunter, in 1966. The couple shared two sons, Joseph “Beau” Biden III and Hunter Biden, and a daughter, Naomi “Amy” Biden.
Weeks after Joe was elected to the Senate in 1972, Neilia and their three kids were involved in a car accident. Beau and Hunter survived the crash but Neilia and Amy tragically died.
Years after mourning his wife and daughter, Joe met Jill Biden. The couple wed in 1975 and welcomed daughter Ashley Biden in 1981.
Throughout his struggles, Joe remained a dedicated public servant. He served as a Senator from 1973 to 2009 before becoming Barack Obama’s vice president. In 2020, Joe was elected as the 46th president of the United States.
Joe initially was going to run for a second term. However, in July 2024, Joe withdrew from the election after he received concerns from the public about his age and health. (Joe was 81 years old at the time.)
In May 2025, news broke that Joe was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Keep scrolling to see the tragedies that Joe and his family have endured over the years:
Neilia Hunter and Naomi Biden’s Deaths
In December 1972, Neilia, Amy, Beau and Hunter were involved in a car accident while Christmas shopping. The Biden family’s station wagon was hit by a tractor-trailer after Neilia accidentally drove into the path of the oncoming vehicle.
Neilia, Amy, Beau and Hunter were pulled from the wreckage and rushed to Wilmington General Hospital. Neilia and Amy were pronounced dead on arrival. They were 30 and 13 months, respectively.
Biden’s sons survived the accident but sustained injuries. Beau had a broken leg while Hunter had a fractured skull.
“The pain … seemed unbearable in the beginning, and it took me a long time to heal, but I did survive the punishing ordeal,” Joe wrote of the tragedy in his 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad. “I made it through, with a lot of support, and reconstructed my life and my family.”
Joe Biden’s Brain Surgeries
In 1988, Joe began to suffer from severe neck pain, which was caused by a leaking intracranial berry aneurysm. While recovering from surgery, Joe suffered from a pulmonary embolism. The procedures and recovery kept Joe away from the Senate for seven months.
Beau Biden’s Cancer Battle and Death
In 2013, Beau was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, which is a type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord, per Mayo Clinic. Beau underwent surgery to remove a lesion. He also completed radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
Two years after his diagnosis, Beau died following a recurrence of brain cancer. He was 46.
Hunter Biden’s Substance Abuse Struggles

Hunter shared in his 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, that he battled addiction throughout his adult life. He shared that his struggles started with alcohol when he was a teen before turning to crack cocaine. Hunter explained that he believed his struggle stemmed from losing his mother and sister.
“There were also times, I have to admit, when I felt as if no one else could understand my pain. It seemed narcissistic even to contemplate. Yet that didn’t make it feel any less true,” he penned. “Believing that your pain is exceptional doesn’t lessen anyone else’s. Pain is our universal condition. People can go through life without finding love, but no one lives long without experiencing real hurt. It can connect us or isolate us.”
Hunter has sought treatment for his addiction struggles and faced several legal issues.
Joe Biden’s Withdrawal From the 2024 Election
In July 2024, Joe announced that he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election after the public raised concerns about his age and health following a debate against Donald Trump.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote in a letter shared via X.
Joe subsequently endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to run in his place. Harris ultimately lost to Trump.
Joe Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis

Months after leaving the White House, Joe was diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” read a May 2025 statement from Biden’s personal office to CNN. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
The statement added that Joe and his family were “reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
After news broke about his condition, Joe took to social media to break his silence.
“Cancer touches us all,” he captioned a May 2025 Instagram post. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
The duo, who were first photographed together in 2014, have been spotted on several occasions with their fellow, shared BFF Taylor Swift. Four years later, the trio celebrated New Years Eve with several other celeb pals in tow.
In 2024, Hadid stepped out with Lively to attend husband Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine premiere. The pair honored the MCU characters via their attire, with Hadid rocking a yellow get-up and Lively donning a red outfit. Hadid, for her part, also weighed in on Lively’s It Ends With Us film, which was set to be released one month later. “It is actually so good,” Hadid told E! News. “I’m not paid to say it. It’s great.”
Months later, Lively made headlines when she accused her It Ends With Us costar and director, in part, of sexual harassment. Baldoni has denied all allegations against him. While fans decoded Swift’s feelings about the legal battle (her name has been brought up on multiple occasions), a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Hadid had “naturally’ distanced herself from Lively.

Swift hosted a star-studded New Year’s Eve bash with pals Lively and Hadid to ring in 2019. In images the Eras Tour performer shared via Instagram, Swift dressed up as the Little Mermaid while Hadid rocked a Mary Poppins costume and Lively embodied Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
“Mary Poppins, Audrey, Ariel, Ms. Frizzle, Cinderella, Gwen, Mr. Toad, Avril, Nancy Drew, Posh Spice, Rizzo, Frida Kahlo, Steve Irwin, Dorothy,” Swift wrote via Instagram. “This new year we decided to dress up as our childhood heroes. Sending you all love and hope going into 2019 .”
August 2019
Hadid gushed over Lively in celebration of the actress’ 32nd birthday, alongside a photo of the twosome posing inside a kitchen.
“It’s this Queen’s birthday week and I just want to say how grateful and lucky I am to have a friend like you, B,” Hadid wrote via Instagram at the time. “You are a real one and inspire me in so many ways. I will only be able to thank you enough by making you endless oatmeal griddle cakes and training your children to be world class disposable-camera photographers. I love you ! Wishing you every blessing.”
Lively, Swift and Hadid were spotted walking with Alana, Danielle and Este Haim in New York City.
August 2023
Hadid gushed over Lively while sharing a throwback snap for her birthday. “Pretty sure this pic is before her (our) baby number 1 but I just love it bc I still feel like the baby of the group,” Hadid wrote via Instagram Story. “Lots-o-angelbabies later, u are a magical friend and mamma — protective, warm, witty, thoughtful, talented, HOT!” she continued. “Ur made of all the good stuff like rainbow sprinkles and butter and bourbon whipped creme. And lobster salad. Lots of lobster salad.”
Hadid concluded: “Thank you for your light and example sister @blakelively. Wishing you the best year yet. u know ily!”
Lively shared the post, adding, ““This was before baby #3 for me and #1 for you. Coparenting with you whether you agree to raise my children or not is one of my life’s greatest joys. Love you, mama, sister, friend.”
The twosome attended Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, where Lively joked that her husband was crashing a girls’ night out.
“He’s such a hen. He can hang with men, but he’s really a hen at heart,” she told Entertainment Tonight, while Hadid added, “He loves a girls’ night and to hear all the goss.”

Amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, an insider told Us that Hadid has “always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her.” The source shared, “She has been a very loyal friend to Taylor, and they have been best friends for a decade now.”
The insider noted that Hadid “hasn’t necessarily chosen sides” between Lively and Swift, but rather that the current status of their inner circle is a “reflection of the closeness her and Taylor have shared over the years.”
The source added that Hadid and Lively “really haven’t been as close in almost a year” but there are “no hard feelings” between the two.
“As Taylor has begun to distance herself from Blake, Gigi has naturally done the same,” the insider said. “The shift wasn’t abrupt, but gradual and organic change in dynamics.”
While Swift and Lively’s friendship has allegedly changed amid the legal battle, Hadid “doesn’t want to be involved at all,” the source said. “They haven’t been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit.”
Nothing can stop these celebs from showing off some skin at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival — even a naked dress ban.
While naked dresses are taking over most red carpets these days, Cannes decided to opt out of the trend this year. In the FAQ section of its website, it states, “Nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.”
Take Charli XCX, for example, who rocked a custom Saint Laurent lavender dress at the festival’s Presidential Dinner on May 18. Her slinky dress had a sheer cutout over her midriff and legs. She teamed the look with a dramatic boa that dragged behind her as she walked.

’Tis the season for outdoor gatherings, so we went straight to the master, namely chef Michael Symon, for a delicious dish.
“When it comes to surefire seafood for groups, it’s hard to top shrimp,” the James Beard Award-winning chef exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “Even for people who say they don’t love seafood, shrimp seems to be the exception. The plump, sweet crustaceans are the perfect carrier for any flavor combination you feel like going with — and they grill up in no time flat!”
According to Symon, he prefers whipping up the dish with head-on shrimp because he loves “the presentation.”
“And I think they taste better,” he adds. “These require at least an hour to marinate, but they cook in less than five minutes.”
To make Symon’s Smoky Grilled Shrimp, which serves six, he gave Us a helpful piece of cooking advice.

“To prevent sticking to the grill, make sure the grates are preheated, scrubbed clean and oiled before laying these guys down,” Symon says. “If you would prefer to skewer them before cooking them, go right ahead.”

Ingredients
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

3. Cook the shrimp on the hot side of the grill until nicely charred, about 2 minutes per side.
4. Transfer the shrimp to a platter, garnish with cilantro leaves and lime wedges and serve.
Symon’s ninth cookbook, Symon’s Dinners Cooking Out, is available now.
“Patricia Cornwell has been writing about a medical examiner named Dr. Kay Scarpetta for over 20 years, and I can’t even tell you how many millions of people have bought these books. And Nicole is going to play Dr. Kay Scarpetta,” Curtis exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025. The Scream Queen plays Kidman’s sister, Dorothy, in the series.
Despite both enjoying long, successful careers in Hollywood, this is the first time the two have worked together on the same project.
The series will run for at least two seasons on Amazon Prime Video, a deal that was announced in September 2024. Kidman and Curtis will also executive produce the series together — something that will likely help their friendship continue to blossom on and off camera.
Here’s a look at the growing relationship between Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.
While speaking toUs Weekly in May 2025, Curtis revealed she and Kidman first met at the Oscars. “She actually introduced herself to me and we exchanged hellos and a little bit of chick bonding,” she told Us.
Curtis continued, “But then we walked away and I was like, ‘Okay, wow. That was crazy.’ And six months later she heard that we were making the Scarpetta show and that I was producing and she basically said, ‘I want to be Scarpetta.’ And then when I went, ‘Okay, great,’ she said, ‘But you’re going to be in it with me, right?’”
“It was that moment of like, ‘Yes, Nicole Kidman. Yes. I’m going to be in a show with you.’ I had no choice,” she added. You had no choice. I was going to be a producer, and at that moment it was decided that I was going to act in the show.”
Jamie Lee Curtis praised Nicole’s “dream and hustle”
“The question is, how does one become the most successful and popular star in the global cinematic broadcast and digital universe? Well, in Nicole Kidman’s case, you start out as a young actress in Australia,” she said. “You dream and hustle and work hard with an internal drive mechanism and a level of ambition and a dedication to craft, plus an exceptional ability to shape shift and dodge and weave and apply the constant importing of new skills to hone and perfect the work.”
“All of us are better when we’re loved,” Curtis also said. “Nicole Kidman was loved. It’s very clear, mostly by her beautiful mother, Janelle, who she sadly lost earlier this year. But she is also loved by her family of origin, her husband, children, chosen family, pets, friends, and countless colleagues from all over the world, not to mention all of her fans and the audiences who appreciate her great work.”
Nicole described Curtis as “fierce”

Kidman has been just as effusive with her compliments for Curtis. While speaking to E! News, she said of her co-star, “That woman is fierce. She is, her talent is abundant, but she’s also just a woman’s woman. She stands by your side. She’s got your back. I can’t say enough lovely things about her. I think everyone in this industry knows that’s what she’s like. And she’s lived a life and she’s willing to share and support. I mean, she’s what you should be.”
Blake Lively is condemning Wayfarer Studios for what her lawyers are calling a “disingenuous charade” of an investigation into her sexual harassment claims against It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.
Lively’s legal team filed a motion to compel Baldoni’s film studio to share documents concerning its “so-called ‘investigation” around the actress’ initial accusations against Baldoni on Monday, May 19, Us Weekly can confirm.
“It appears that Wayfarer is trying to hide behind the ‘investigation’ to conduct shadow discovery and hide it from any scrutiny,” a spokesperson for Lively told Us in a statement on Monday. “As Ms. Lively has alleged, Wayfarer ignored its legal obligation to conduct an investigation when she privately raised concerns starting in May 2023, but claims it’s doing one now — in the middle of a case in which it sued her for $400 million for the same things it now says its ‘neutrally’ investigating.”
The statement to Us is similar to what was written in the letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman on Monday, per court records obtained by Us.
“Does anyone believe that Wayfarer is genuinely investigating a film set workplace that no longer exists?” Lively’s reps wondered in their statement on Monday. Us Weekly has reached out to Baldoni’s team for comment.
Lively’s initial complaint, filed in December 2024, accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and allegedly fostering a hostile work environment on the film’s set. Lively claimed, in part, that Baldoni discussed his sex life, including an alleged pornography addiction, with her during their time on set. She further alleged that “degrading and sexual comments” had been made by Baldoni about Lively. (Baldoni has vehemently denied all allegations against him.)
Lively’s legal team subsequently filed a Rule 11 Sanctions on Monday, “requesting the Court to impose monetary sanctions” against Wayfarer Foundation founder Steve Sarowitz, Baldoni’s producing partner Jamey Heath, publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, and It Ends With Us Movie LLC.
The Rule 11 filing called into account “claims against Ms. Lively that have no reasonable basis in law or fact and clearly were brought for an improper purpose.” One example stated in the docs was allegations made by Baldoni’s legal team that Lively is extortingTaylor Swift amid the ongoing lawsuit.
“If you want to know why Justin Baldoni’s lawyer pulled his latest inflammatory and defamatory media stunt, it might be because he knew that both he and his clients were about to be hit with sanctions motions based on his reckless decision to file multiple frivolous claims in federal court,” Lively’s lawyers, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, shared in a statement on Monday. “You can’t file lawsuits in federal court that have no basis in law or fact to create a harassing media narrative, or in other words, their strategy from day one.”
They concluded: “The Baldoni legal team received notice of their sanctionable behavior weeks ago, but doubled down rather than withdrawing their frivolous and harassing claims. Now they’ll face the consequences of treating federal court like a media playground.”
Their power couple fashion narrative began with their 2017 engagement announcement. Prince Harry, now 40, true to form, sported a classic blue suit, while Markle, now 43, exuded chicness in a white coat by Line the Label, a Canadian brand she has consistently championed.
Their May 2018 nuptials unveiled two sets of awe-inspiring ensembles. Markle graced the aisle in a custom Givenchy gown featuring a dramatic 16.5-foot veil for the ceremony, while Prince Harry donned his distinguished Blues and Royals uniform.
Later, they emerged in more relaxed, yet impeccably polished attire: Markle in a high-necked Stella McCartney reception dress and Prince Harry in a timeless black tuxedo with a bow tie.
Another significant moment arrived in May 2019 with the introduction of their newborn son, Archie. Markle looked radiant in a white trench dress by Grace Wales Bonner, while Prince Harry appeared dashing in a classic gray suit. Their sophisticated style statement subtly affirmed that parenthood would not diminish their signature elegance.
Their last royal appearance on March 9 for the Commonwealth Day celebrations at Westminster Abbey was a definitive style statement. Markle’s emerald Emilia Wickstead dress with a built-in cape beautifully harmonized with Prince Harry’s turquoise tie — a final demonstration of their perfectly synchronized style.
Although they stepped back as senior royals in January 2020, relinquishing their HRH titles in order to pursue financial independence, their time since has also provided unforgettable joint fashion moments that also deserve a revisit.
Take, for instance, the November 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala in New York. Markle shone in a Carolina Herrera red halter-neck gown with a sweeping overskirt, perfectly complemented by Prince Harry’s impeccably coordinated black and white tuxedo.
Fast-forward to April 2025, their outfits still consistently garner headlines. Case in point? The his-and-hers tailoring they wore ahead of the Time100 Summit. Her textured Ralph Lauren separates leaned into her new Montecito-meets-Manhattan aesthetic. At the same time, his classic suit, sans tie, showed that their combined style is a testament to modern sophistication.
