However, her ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, denies the account, claiming that Jill and Joe met before the crash during Biden's campaign for Senate and had an affair which led to the end of their marriage.
The Biden campaign denied the accounts that Stevenson gave to multiple media outlets, accusing him of attempting to publicize his upcoming autobiography, according to the Washington Times
美国总统拜登（Joe Biden）上任后，其夫人吉尔（Jill Biden）2月25日第一次以美国第一夫人身份接受媒体采访。她表示，倘若她没有离婚，就不会遇见总统拜登。
吉尔当天在白宫东厅（East Room）接受清谈节目《The Kelly Clarkson Show》访问时称：“我现在回头看觉得，如果我没有离婚，我就从来不会见过乔（拜登）。我不会拥有现在我有的美丽家庭。所以我真正地认为，事情会朝最好的方向发展。”
吉尔前夫史帝芬森（Bill Stevenson）2020年8月接受英国《每日邮报》采访时称怀疑吉尔在婚内与拜登出轨。这是吉尔首次回应事件。
