An Arkansas woman suing former Vice PresidentJoe Biden‘s sonHunter Bidenfor paternity and child support has now claimed that Hunter admitted to her they had a child together last year — even ashe denies it publicly.
Hunter, 49, has denied the woman’s accusations. A spokesman for him had no further comment on the latest filing.
In a brief answer to the suit filed in August, Hunter, 49, denied all of the allegations made against him.
Roberts’ suit stated only that she and Hunter “were in a relationship” and had a child born last August in Independence County. The child was not further identified.
Roberts “really values her privacy,” her attorney, Clint Lancaster,previously told theArkansasDemocrat-Gazette. “This is a parenting and child support issue between her and Mr. Biden,” he said.
Roberts said she met Biden while she was a student at George Washington University,according to theDemocrat-Gazette.
Lancaster’s office told PEOPLE in June that he was not making additional comment on the case. He did not immediately respond to an email on Wednesday.

Hunter’s tumultuous personal life, including a surprise marriage, returned him to the headlines this year at the same time as his dad launched a 2020 presidential bid — immediately becoming the frontrunner to challenge President Donald Trump.
For months, Trump’s personal lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani,reportedly sought tohave Ukraine officials investigate Biden and his son, who previously served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company. Trump himself lobbied Ukraine’s president to dig into the Bidens over the summer — behavior which is now at the center of an impeachment inquiry in Congress. He has denied wrongdoing.
In June, Vice President Biden, 76, confirmed Hunter hadsecretly married South African filmmaker Melissa Cohenafter he earlier dated older brother Beau Biden’s widow,Hallie Biden, following Beau’s death from cancer in 2015.
According toThe New Yorker, he said he never had sex with Roberts.
