Hunter Biden allegedly fathered a child born in August 2018, is now facing paternity suit

A 28-year-old Arkansas woman has filed a paternity suit against Hunter Biden, 49, alleging he fathered a child born in August 2018.

Lunden Alexis Roberts is seeking court-ordered proof that Biden is the biological father a well as child support and health insurance. The suit does not detail the circumstances or duration of their alleged relationship, and it has not yet been successfully served to Biden, her attorney said.

"She really does not want this to be a media spectacle. She does not want this to affect Joe Biden’s campaign," Roberts' attorney, Clint Lancaster, told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. "She just wants this baby to get financial support from the baby’s father."

The supposed timeline is a bit complicated: Biden was married to Kathleen Buhle, the mother of his three children, from 1993 to 2017. At some point, he began a relationship with his sister-in-law, Hallie Olivere, whose husband Beau — Hunter's older brother — died in 2015. In spring 2019, it was announced that the couple had split, and days later, reports emerged that Biden had wed a South African woman named Melissa Cohen. He reportedly only knew her for a few weeks before they tied the knot.

It's unclear at this point where Roberts allegedly fits into the relationship timelines. Her suit was filed two weeks after Biden's surprise May nuptials.

Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who is currently a leading Democratic nominee for the 2020 presidential election, confirmed to CBS News in June that his son had gotten re-married, but he did not give any additional statement beyond simply saying "yes."

Previously, Joe and his wife, Jill, had expressed their support for Biden's relationship with their daughter-in-law, saying, "We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness."
