Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz Has A Surprising Connection To Joe Biden

According to Insider, Pete Wentz's parents met in the 1970s while working for Joe Biden in the Senate. News of this connection wasn't shared until 2008, when Barack Obama and Biden were running for their first presidential term. In an interview with the Associated Press (via NME), Wentz shared, "I would not be standing here actually in reality at all because my parents met working for Biden. They met on the campaign, so they have this particular affection for Joe. He came to their wedding. If it weren't for Joe Biden, I would not exist as a human being." 

In November 2020, Wentz uploaded an Instagram photo of Biden holding him as a baby. He captioned the pic, "My parents met working for Joe Biden in the Senate in the 70s. To me he is a beacon of empathy, compassion and kindness. The times we live in call for a leader with these specific traits. Proud to call Joe Biden my president."
