Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, in alleged text messages revealed by the Daily Mail asked his cousin Caroline to set him up with actor Nicola Peltz to help him get over his brother Beau’s widow Hallie.

Hunter and Hallie were dating in November 2017, the First Son said in an interview with CBS This Morning in April 2021 to promote his memoir, Beautiful Things. Beau Biden, the President’s elder son, died from brain cancer at the age of 46 on May 30, 2015. Months after his brother’s demise, Hunter split from his wife Kathleen.

Daily Mail obtained some text messages that show Hunter asking his cousin, who is the daughter of Joe Biden’s brother Jim, to set him up with Peltz. The 53-year-old, as per the report, said that his psychiatrist had suggested he date the actor – who married Brooklyn Beckham last year – in order to ‘break free’ from Hallie.

The text exchange, as per The Daily Mail report, took place while Hunter was undergoing treatment at a rehab center in Newburyport, Massachusetts in January 2019.

The cousins also discussed model Bella Hadid, actor Bella Thorne, Yasmina Jones, and Roald Dahl’s daughter Lucy Dahl, 57, as other potential matches.
