Photograph: Desiree Rios/New York TimesUS president Joe Biden publicly acknowledged his four-year-old granddaughter, Navy Joan Roberts, for the first time on Friday, saying in a statement that he and the first lady, Jill Biden, “only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy”.

Hunter Biden, who is recovering from a crack cocaine addiction, has said in the past that he fathered Navy at a low point in his life and that he did not have a relationship with her.In his statement, the president said his son and Ms Roberts were working to repair a relationship that had devolved quickly after Navy’s birth and, in recent months, had become grist for conservative media.

Hunter Biden has four other children. The eldest, Naomi, married on the South Lawn of the White House last fall. The youngest, who is named for Hunter’s late brother, Beau, is three years old and is photographed frequently with his grandparents.The White House had no comment on whether or when the president intends to meet Navy, who lives in Arkansas. Ms Roberts and her attorney, Clint Lancaster, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.
