Massive “Thirst” Over Guy In Joe Biden’s Family Easter Pic As Internet Finds Out Who He Is

A wholesome Easter photo posted by the Biden family went viral for a reason completely unrelated to the festivities—the identity of one mystery man who captured the hearts of many netizens.

The image, shared last Sunday (April 20), sees former President Joe Biden surrounded by his extended family, posing for a group photo on the stairs of a building in Delaware. 

While the gathering was meant to celebrate the holiday, many viewers had their attention fixated on one young man in particular: wearing a blue shirt, round glasses, and boasting a head of curly brown hair.

Who’s this?” a user asked on a post with 8.6 million views. “My husband, obviously,” another replied.

First reactions varied from curiosity to exasperation, as some users were irritated by what they labeled as “yet another thirst thread” becoming popular.

“Y’all thirst over the same genre of man constantly on this app,” one netizen replied. “White guy with curly brown hair. Every single time.”

Beyond blunt comments like “he can top me,” and other explicit statements, the post also ignited a flurry of speculation, memes, and compliments.

“That’s the side character who steals the whole show,” one person wrote. “He looks straight out of Harry Potter!” another said.

“He looks like he writes poetry in a coffee shop and smells like cedarwood,” a user said.

But no reply was able to answer the original question. As the mystery deepened, amateur internet sleuths got to work—and they didn’t take long to find the answer.

The man in question is Rafael Hajjar, the boyfriend of Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Natalie

According to several replies and later confirmed reports, the man in question is Rafael Hajjar, boyfriend of Natalie Biden, the former President’s 19-year-old granddaughter and eldest daughter of the late Beau Biden.

As the user correctly surmised, Hajjar was publicly identified for the first time during a White House state dinner in May 2024, when he and Natalie made their debut as a couple. 

Photos captured the couple looking relaxed and poised, dressed in formal attire with Hajjar donning a tuxedo and Natalie a white gown.

Despite the family’s long list of academic and professional accomplishments, it’s Hajjar’s appearance—not his résumé—that has captivated the internet, with social media users entranced by his curly hair and “nerdish” charm.
