Jill Biden and Bill Stevenson Relationship History
Jill Biden split from Bill Stevenson in 1974.
In 1972, Bill opened a popular bar and live music venue, The Stone Balloon, near campus in the heart of Newark, Delaware. Bill's bar became a staple among students and locals, and famously hosted Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in 1974.
While the bar was flourishing, the same couldn't be said for the couple's marriage. Jill eventually split from the businessman in 1974, and a bitter divorce ensued, during which the 74-year-old relentlessly fought for half-ownership of The Stone Balloon.
Despite the contentious divorce, Jill's life changed for the better when she was introduced to her future second husband, then-Senator Joe Biden, in March 1975.

After graduation, she began her career in education, starting first as a substitute teacher before taking on a full-time role, and later worked in Joe's Senate office for five months.
