Jill and her former spouse's split turned nasty, as she fought for half ownership of Stone Balloon, a popular college bear near the University of Delaware that Bill founded in 1971. In the end, she lost the legal battle.

The exes' issues were detailed in Julie Pace's biography Jill: A Biography of the First Lady, who wrote in her 2022 book, "She had these expectations of sort of what that marriage was going to be, and the marriage did not live up to those expectations. She was incredibly young and probably a bit naive about what life was going to look like, and it stings her. It really stings her, and it makes her question quite a bit."

"'This was a failure, and I'm really pretty devastated about it, but I'm going to compartmentalize that, and I'm going to move on, and I'm going to start building out my career.'"
