Even with the strangeness of their hasty nuptials, it certainly seems as though Hunter Biden and Melissa Cohen are the real deal. Nowhere has that been more evident during Hunter’s gun trial. Though Hunter was found guilty and stands the chance of a steep, 25-year sentence, Cohen has remained by his side.
Cohen was present throughout Hunter’s trial, and it’s safe to say their marriage withstood the heat (unlike, ahem, some other political families embroiled in scandal). Her poise throughout it all was also widely reported on — though that’s not to say she tried to hide her true feelings. As was reported by the Los Angeles Times, she shook her head as the contents of her husband’s infamous laptop were read out, and even cried when excerpts of the audiobook version of Hunter’s memoir, “Beautiful Things” were played.
It’s worth noting that in Cohen’s very first interview, she shared that her relationship with Hunter had never suffered as a result of the controversy that surrounded him. Speaking to ABC in 2019, she admitted, “Things have not been easy externally … but internally, things have been amazing. And it’s only tested our bond.” From the outside, it does sound weird that these two got hitched so fast, but given the tests they’ve overcome as a couple in the time since, it clearly worked out for them in the end.
