President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were due to spend the holiday Monday at the wedding of their nephew Cuffe Owens and Meghan King, a former star of the reality TV show Real Housewives of Orange County.
The White House announced they would be attending the small, family wedding at the home of the president's sister Valerie Owens.
Earlier the president was driven from the first couple's Delaware home to the Kennett Square Golf and Country Club, just across the state line in Pennsylvania, during a holiday weekend even as the president's legislative agenda remains stalled and a supply chain crisis casts a shadow over the looming holiday season.
Owens, 42, and King, 37, only revealed they were dating last month.
King, the former wife of baseball star Jim Edmonds, posted a photo of the couple hugging.
'Trying my best to avoid any cheesy introductions like ‘my main squeeze’ … so just meet my man,' she wrote to her legions of fans.
King has three children from her marriage to Edmonds, which ended in 2009.
Owens is a Los Angeles-based attorney and the son of Biden's sister, Valerie Owens, who has played a pivotal role in her brother's political career including as adviser to his triumphant 2020 presidential run.
