President Biden wished first lady Jill Biden a happy Valentine’s Day on Sunday, calling her “the love of my life and the life of my love.”
Jill Biden on Friday had tweeted that she purchased some “Valentine’s treats for the weekend,” from Washington, D.C. bakery The Sweet Lobby.
“Shhh – don’t tell Joe!” she joked.
The first lady last week also installed pink, red and white hearts on the White House lawn that included words like “unity,” “kindness,” “healing,” “compassion” and more.
The first lady’s office said in a statement to reporters that the hearts are a reference “back to the days of sharing candy hearts between friends and family.”
The president and first lady strolled around the Valentine’s Day instillation on Friday morning, with the president telling reporters that “Valentine’s Day is a big day, Jill’s favorite day.”
Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, also joined the president and first lady in celebrating Valentine’s Day on Sunday.
Harris shared on Twitter that President Biden visited her office on Sunday and showed her where the first lady in 2009, when Joe Biden served as vice president under former President Obama, “wrote ‘Joe loves Jill’ on all the window panes.”
“I love that story! To @POTUS, @FLOTUS, and all Americans: #HappyValentines,” Harris tweeted.
Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff also wished his wife a happy Valentine’s Day on Sunday, sharing that “We’ve got big adventure’s ahead.”
