JD Vance breaks silence after photo appeared to show him yelling at wife over dinner

Vice President JD Vance has responded humorously to accusations that he shouted at his wife, Usha, during a restaurant outing.

A photo circulated online earlier in the week appeared to show Vance mid-yell while wearing a plain white T-shirt, as Usha sat across from him with her head in her hands in what looked like a booth.

Critics quickly suggested the image reflected tension in their long-standing marriage, with some commenters mocking both the alleged argument and Vance’s casual outfit. Speculation on social media implied the couple was experiencing deeper issues.

Others poked fun at the vice president’s appearance, comparing his T-shirt look to a retro 1950s style, with some joking he should have a pack of cigarettes tucked into his sleeve.

Vance shut down the conversation with a sarcastic post on X, joking that he always wears an undershirt when “loudly fighting” with his wife in public. His comment also echoed doubts many had already raised about the photo being AI-generated.

The rumors come on the heels of ongoing chatter about his relationship, especially after Vance shared an emotional hug with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, in October. Adding to speculation, Usha was later seen without her wedding ring at several public events.

Despite the gossip, Vance insists their marriage is solid. He told NBC News that he and Usha find the rumors amusing and said she is adjusting well to her public role, balancing family life with the spotlight.
