Marital-strife rumors intensify as JD Vance photographed ‘yelling’ at wife Usha in restaurant

JD Vance humorously denies viral photo claims of a public argument and says his marriage remains strong despite seven months of online speculation.

  • Vice President JD Vance responded to a Dec. 5 Facebook post showing a viral image of him allegedly arguing with his wife, saying `I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife.`
  • The image's provenance suggests JD Vance’s face was imposed on a months-old photo after Thomas Clay Jr. posted it on Facebook Dec. 5, spreading across Facebook, Instagram and X alongside AI-driven 'Fat JD' memes.
  • Rumours reignited after Second Lady Usha Vance was seen without her ring more than once, including at Camp Lejeune, but a spokesperson said she "forgets her ring sometimes" after chores.
  • Mr. Vance embraced the meme by dressing as the 'Fat JD' meme for Halloween and reposting the photo with a sarcastic comment, while acknowledging media scrutiny has been hard on the couple's family.
  • The case exemplifies how viral images subject public figures to scrutiny, as social media users and commentators connect incidents fueling narratives, while tabloids amplify speculation with ringless photos.
