On April 3, Naomi, 28 — a lawyer who’s the daughter of Hunter Biden and first wife Kathleen Buhle — revealed the exciting news via Twitter, writing, “Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House.

Yeah, so I feel like that one didn’t count, you know, that was like a practice,” she said. “Then I was married to my ex-husband [retired baseball star Jim Edmonds], who I have my kids with, for five years. And that was real. That was a real, legitimate marriage and divorce. And then this last one is gonna be annulled, so I’ve had three weddings and two marriages.”
