First lady Jill Biden and U.S. President Joe Biden have been together for more than four decades, but reports across the internet claimed it took up to five proposal attempts before Jill Biden agreed to marry the then-senator from Delaware. And those reports appear to be true. According to an excerpt from Jill Biden’s book, Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself, published in Time magazine, Biden describes the moments that led to her finally agreeing to marry the future president. In the excerpt titled, Why Joe Had to Propose 5 Times Before I Said Yes—And What Finally Changed My Mind, she describes how she rejected his proposal four times before finally agreeing after his fifth attempt. Why was she so hesitant? She wrote: Joe Biden proposed again and again over two years of dating. Before the fifth try, Jill Biden said he finally set an ultimatum before leaving for a trip to South Africa in 1977: Given that this account of the proposals comes directly from Jill Biden’s book, we rate this claim as True.
