Amid rumors that Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance are having trouble in their marriage and a divorce could potentially occur, the vice president was photographed allegedly yelling at his wife in a restaurant.
For months, theories have spread across social media claiming that Vance and Usha are headed for a divorce. Many point out that the second lady, on multiple occasions, does not wear her wedding ring.
Theorists online also believe that Vance could be gunning toward a relationship with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, arguing that such a swap could be beneficial for the vice president in 2028 if he chooses to run for president.
Erika took over Turning Point USA after her husband was brutally murdered in September.
Speculation about a possible divorce in the Naval Observatory residence came after Erika tightly hugged Vance during a Turning Point event. She put her hand on the back of Vance’s head and reportedly said, “God bless you.”
While addressing the crowd, Erika also said that although nobody could ever fully replace her husband, she saw many similarities in the vice president. Such remarks sparked massive speculation that she and Vance were having an affair.
Nonetheless, the Vance family has dismissed these rumors in their entirety but has pointed out that they are creating difficulty in their marriage.
A recent photograph of Vance appearing angry while speaking to his wife at a restaurant has refueled such rumors, the Daily Mail reported.
“Looks like things are not so good Republicanistan. Usha is a liberal. Always has been. Apparently they were having and argument loud enough to quiet the resturant. Why is he wearing a tee shirt?” a Facebook user named Thomas Clay Jr. said.
Vance responded to Clay Jr.’s post on X.
“I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife,” Vance wrote.
Vance’s post garnered a whopping 10 million views on X in just 8 hours.
Conservatives praised the vice president for his social media skills, with many finding him relatable in the picture.
“Vance is the only politician who has mastered how to use social media selectively to his advantage and not his detriment. If it’s not him running the account—major kudos to whoever is doing it,” Amy Nixon said.
Others defended the couple and dismissed rumors that they were fighting.
“That look is all I need to see to know that the two of you are perfect together!!! She’s too smart to look at someone like that, who doesn’t treat her well!!” Jenn Griffin said, sharing an image of Usha looking at her husband as he took the oath of office to become vice president in January.
