   Jill Biden’s ex-husband has accused the potential first lady of   
   having an affair with Joe Biden and says they lied about how   
   they met in the 1970s, according to a bombshell new report.   
      
   Bill Stevenson on Monday accused the presumptive Democratic   
   nominee of being a home-wrecker and says the feel-good story of   
   how Joe and Jill met on a blind date is completely made up, the   
   Daily Mail reported.   
      
   “I don’t want to hurt anyone,” said Stevenson, now 72, who is   
   working on a book that includes the lurid claim. “But facts are   
   facts and what happened, happened.”   
      
   Stevenson and his then-wife grew close to Biden in 1972 while   
   working on his first campaign to represent Delaware in the US   
   Senate.   
      
   That same year, tragedy struck when Biden’s first wife, Neilia,   
   and infant daughter were killed in a car crash.   
      
   Stevenson said he first suspected an affair in 1974, when his   
   wife passed on meeting an up-and-coming rock star who was set to   
   play at his Delaware club.   
      
   “I know exactly when it was,” he told the Daily Mail. “Bruce   
   Springsteen was going to play at The Stone Balloon and I had to   
   go to Northern New Jersey to pay him in advance.   
      
   “’I asked Jill to go with me and she said no — she had things to   
   do, she had to look after Joe’s kids, Beau and Hunter. It was   
   kind of a big deal to go meet Springsteen,” he continued. “I had   
   no idea she and Joe were that kind of friendly.   
      
   “Then one of her best friends told me she thought Joe and Jill   
   were getting a little too close. I was surprised that she came   
   to me.”   
      
   A couple months later, Stevenson got all the evidence he needed   
   when he was told that his wife had been in a fender-bender in   
   her car — while Biden was behind the wheel.   
      
   “I was at work and a guy came in and asked, ‘Do you own a brown   
   Corvette?’” Stevenson recalled. “He said back in May it had   
   crunched his bumper and they told him to get an estimate and he   
   never heard back from them.   
      
   “I said, ‘Wait a minute. Who is they?’ And he said, ‘Funnily   
   enough, Senator Biden was driving.’”   
      
   “I considered Joe a friend. I’m not surprised he fell in love   
   with Jill. Everyone who meets Jill falls in love with her   
   immediately. It’s hard not to,” Stevenson said.   
      
   The Bidens, who have been married since 1977, have publicly said   
   they met on a blind date in 1975 — after Joe became a widower   
   and Jill’s first marriage had broken up.   
      
   The damaging Daily Mail report comes just days before Biden is   
   expected to be officially named the Democratic nominee Thursday.   
      
   The Biden campaign declined comment.
