Why is her husband retiring?
Breyer is the Supreme Court's oldest member and was first nominated by President Bill Clinton.
His retirement was announced on January 26, 2022, however, a reason was not given.
Liberal activists have been urging Breyer to retire for months while the Democrats are holding both the White House and Senate, leaving it up to President Joe Biden to find his replacement.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Professor Erwin Chemerinsky said there are times "when the stewards of our system must put the good of an institution they love, and of the country they love, above their own interests.
"They have to recognize that no one, not even a brilliant justice, is irreplaceable, and that the risks presented by remaining are more than hypothetical," he wrote.
He is expected to stay on until the end of the term, and a replacement will likely be confirmed then.
Do Stephen and Joanna have any children together?
Over the years, the couple has welcomed three children together including Chloe, 53, Nell, 51, and Michael, 48.
Breyer's youngest son followed in the steps of his father and famously ran in 2012 as a Democratic candidate for District 19 of the California State Assembly, however, he lost in the general election to Phil Ting.
Despite having a high-profile father, the Breyer kids have stayed out of the spotlight over the years as not much information is available on them.
