Joe Biden has been keeping a low profile since leaving the White House, while a new president has been making headlines.
But on March 23, the former president was back in the spotlight when he stepped out with his wife, Jill, in New York City. And right away, people noticed something surprising.
Since leaving office, Biden has had time to relax after years in politics. While he has stayed out of the news for the most part, he hasn’t completely disappeared.
Recently, Joe and Jill Biden made a rare public appearance at a major Broadway event.
The couple arrived at The Barrymore Theater to watch a performance of Othello featuring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. It was one of their first big nights out since leaving the White House, and their appearance quickly got people talking.
People react to their appearance
As soon as the Bidens stepped onto the red carpet, they turned heads. The 82-year-old former president looked sharp in a black tuxedo, while Jill wore a shimmering teal gown that caught everyone’s attention.
Fans online quickly shared their reactions. One person on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “President Biden looks so relaxed and younger. Forever FLOTUS looks beautiful.” Another added, “He looks great.”
Over on Reddit, people also commented on Biden’s appearance. “Joe literally looks 10 years younger,” one person wrote, while another said, “They always look so classy.”
Instagram users had similar reactions. One comment read, “Is it me, or does he look younger since leaving office?” Another fan wrote, “Jill is absolutely stunning in that dress!”
A night out sparks discussion
While the Bidens were there for the show, their appearance also led to political discussions. Some critics questioned his future plans, while supporters were happy to see him enjoying life.
After the show, the Bidens met the cast, posing for pictures with Washington, Gyllenhaal, and director Kenny Leon. Many noticed how happy and relaxed they looked.
Jill’s dress was also a big topic online. She shared a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Date night,” and fans praised her elegant look.
Even outside the White House, the Bidens continue to make headlines.
