Hunter Biden’s child-sup-
port agreement with a former
stripper was finalized by a
judge Thursday, a day before a
public hearing in the case was
set to go forward, according to
court papers.
The settlement’s finaliza-
tion between Biden and
Lunden Alexis Roberts,
with whom he shares a 17-
month-old love child,
comes just before he was
set to show up in a Little
Rock, Ark., courtroom and
as his dad Joe Biden’s presi-
dential campaign has
looked unstoppable.
The son of the former vice
president reached an agree-
ment with Roberts after a
judge denied his bid to post-
pone his deposition and
hearing this week because he
said it would be “unsafe” to
travel during the coronavirus
outbreak.
Hunter, 50, will have to pay
undisclosed monthly child
support and must provide
health-care coverage for the
baby, according to the agree-
ment signed by the judge.
His lawyer, Brent Langdon,
said, “The judge has approved
the final order and the case
has been resolved.”
Last month, Hunter — who
is expecting his fifth child,
this one with his 32-year-old
wife, Melissa Cohen Biden —
asked that his deposition be
postponed until April, so it
wouldn’t be a distraction
during the Democratic de-
bates.
At the time, Langdon said it
would “only ignite media at-
tention and awareness” with
the intent to “annoy, embar-
rass, oppress” him.
Roberts’ lawyer did not im-
mediately return a request
for comment.

He’s fitting right into the fam-

ily business.

Michael Gandolfini, son of

late “Sopranos” star James Gan-

dolfini, was dishing out punches

just like Dad while filming a

fight scene Thursday in his role

as a young Tony Soprano for the

prequel film “The Many Saints

of Newark.”

The 20-year-old actor was

photographed brawling on set in

The Bronx, sporting shaggy hair

and a retro denim coat with a

shearling collar over a mustard

T-shirt.

Michael can be seen stepping

out of a phone booth and — in

a very Soprano-esque move —

shoving a sandwich in an-

other character’s

face before

trading

blows.

The heavily anticipated drama

is due out on Sept. 25.

Michael opened up in an Es-

quire feature last

summer on how

“difficult” it

was to step

into the shoes

of his father,

who died of a

heart attack in

2013 while

the two

were on a father-son trip to

Rome.

James was stricken shortly

after sharing a meal with Mich-

ael, who has spoken proudly of

building on his pop’s iconic role.

“Working hard to make you

proud, I know you are, but I’ll

never stop working at it. Love

you dad,” Michael posted online

in June as he marked the sixth

anniversary of his father’s death.
