From the outburst at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, to the visit to Greenland, the Vice President of the United States has plenty on his mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, his wife, Usha Vance, has stayed out of the spotlight\u2013until now. In a new interview, the Second Lady shed some insight into her new life. And according to Usha, her husband is living in a \u201clonely world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JD<\/a>\u00a0Vance met his now-wife,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/usha-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Usha Vance<\/a>, previously Chilukri, at Yale Law School. Born in 1986, Usha comes from a well-educated family of Indian immigrants and grew up in San Diego. When she grew up, her father, Krish, worked as an aerospace engineer and university lecturer. At the same time, her mother, Lakshmi, was a professor of molecular biology.<\/p>\n<p>JD and Usha shared a reading group and social circle in college; at first, they were just friends. But things developed into something more, and according to Vance, Usha was more than just a girlfriend and a best friend. He has previously described her as his \u201cspirit guide\u201d at Yale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe instinctively understood the questions I didn\u2019t even know to ask and she always encouraged me to seek opportunities that I didn\u2019t know existed,\u201d JD wrote in his 2016 memoir\u00a0<em>Hillbilly Elegy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Later, in 2020, he said: \u201cI\u2019m one of those guys who really benefits from having sort of a powerful female voice over his left shoulder saying, \u2018Don\u2019t do that, do that.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their classmate at Yale, Charles Tyler, spoke with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c897483zpyeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BBC<\/a>, saying that \u201cthey were always this match of very dissimilar people.\u201d In his memoir\u00a0<em>Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis<\/em>, Vance stated that he had \u201cnever felt out of place\u201d in his entire life but \u201cdid at Yale.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-jd-vance-amp-usha-vance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">JD Vance &amp; Usha Vance<\/h2>\n<p>Therefore, Usha became even more crucial for his development and pursuit of a degree. Usha graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University. She was also a Gates Scholar at Cambridge University, earning a Master of Philosophy in early modern history.<\/p>\n<p>A year after graduating, JD and Usha Vance married. They had two ceremonies: one Hindu ceremony conducted by a Hindu priest to honor Usha\u2019s Hindu heritage, and one traditional wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their different religious backgrounds, JD and Usha have been brought closer together. Speaking with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6355707051112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fox News<\/a>, JD said that his wife\u2019s Hindu faith has been essential to him, helping him to navigate challenges in his professional and personal life and reconcile with his Catholic beliefs. He was raised Christian \u201cbut never baptized,\u201d Vance explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was first baptized in 2018. Usha was actually raised non-Christian. But I remember when I started to re-engage with my faith, Usha was very supportive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In the same Fox interview, Usha explained she had been brought up in a \u201creligious household.\u201d She agreed that her faith had helped her husband navigate his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents are Hindu, and that\u2019s one of the things that made them such good parents and good people. And I have seen the power of that in my own life. And I knew that JD was searching for something. This just felt right for him. We just talk a lot,\u201d she added, concluding that they agree on many values and principles.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-usha-definitely-brings-me-back-to-earth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cUsha definitely brings me back to earth\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>JD Vance has clearly stated that Usha has been vital in shaping his personal and spiritual beliefs. The couple share three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. They have decided to keep their children out of their professional lives and let them grow up outside the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Usha has currently paused her career to support her vice president husband. She was by his side throughout the 2024 presidential race, advising him in his debate preparations. When Trump won the Presidential Election, Usha appeared on stage next to him.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that JD Vance appreciates that his wife has stood beside him. In 2020, when appearing on\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ar5X1VG_eqs?si=PZ4k-QoWXDBRjgFf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Megyn Kelly Show<\/a><\/em>, Vance noted that his wife is a \u201cpowerful female voice\u201d guiding him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsha definitely brings me back to earth. If I get a little too cocky or a little too proud, I remind myself that she\u2019s way more accomplished than I.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Usha Vance is now the Second Lady of the United States and is often seen in public next to her husband. However, a few weeks ago, JD Vance courted controversy online with a quip he made at Usha\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-jd-vance-blasted-for-comment-about-his-wife-on-stage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">JD Vance blasted for comment about his wife on stage<\/h2>\n<p>While speaking at an event in Michigan, Vance praised his spouse for doing a great job, stating that he was proud to have her by his side. He then suggested that she has no other option but to laugh at everything he says when they are on camera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the thing. The cameras are all on; anything I say, no matter how crazy, she has to smile, laugh, and celebrate it,\u201d JD said, while Usha was seen smiling and laughing. The clip was posted on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acyn\/status\/1900588122100105693\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">X<\/a>, and social media users quickly expressed anger toward JD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJD Vance\u2019s comment about his wife was demeaning and controlling. It\u2019s another example of his arrogance, showing disrespect even to his spouse on a public stage. His pattern of divisive remarks proves he\u2019s unfit for leadership,\u201d one user wrote, as per\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-in\/entertainment\/bollywood\/making-fun-of-your-wife-is-not-jd-vance-faces-flak-from-netizens-for-his-remarks-about-usha\/ar-AA1B0P70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MSN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat sounds like a threat. She should consult a lawyer and ensure the long-term safety and security of herself and the children. I know how this goes over time in a marriage. The threats get real,\u201d a second wrote.<\/p>\n<p>A third social media user added: \u201cWhy is she standing like that when he\u2019s saying that nonsense? Is she being abused? What man talks like that about their wife? Wow. Girl blink three times real fast and we\u2019ll come save you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A fourth person stated: \u201cI know it\u2019s supposed to be a joke but.. poor taste. And he\u2019s kind of shouting himself in the foot, now people will think her reactions as well as those of others around him are fake,\u201d while another said Vance\u2019s \u201cattempt at humor is always tasteless\u201d and that Usha looked \u201cmiserable.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-usha-vance-speaks-out-about-life-as-second-lady\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usha Vance speaks out about life as Second Lady<\/h2>\n<p>While JD Vance has taken center stage, his wife has kept herself largely out of the spotlight. The Second Lady has not spoken about her new life, but now, she has broken her silence. In an interview with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/usha-vance-second-lady-interview-the-free-press-peter-savodnik-jd-vance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Free Press writer Peter Savodnik<\/a>, Usha Vance states that their new lives \u201care not normal,\u201d and that it \u201cfeels almost absurd to say that they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Second Lady stated that people \u201cdon\u2019t seem to care\u201d about what she is wearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m laughing because it would be really hard for me to be blonde \u2026 that color would look totally absurd\u201d, Usha said, adding that she has felt welcome in Trump\u2019s political world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor what it\u2019s worth, my reception into this world \u2014 and I\u2019m not from a particularly wealthy background, not from a very fashion-oriented background personally or professionally \u2014 has been really positive,\u2019 she said. \u2018People don\u2019t seem to care all that much what I look like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Usha Vance\u2019s life\u2014and her husband\u2019s, too, for that matter\u2014changed forever as JD Vance was sworn in as Vice President of the United States beside\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>. Usha states she remains JD\u2019s close confidant and advisor, though she doesn\u2019t like to think she has a lot of influence over him.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most interesting of all, she admitted that her husband lives in a pretty lonely world.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-social-media-makes-fun-of-jd-vance-after-his-life-was-branded-lonely-by-his-wife\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social media makes fun of JD Vance after his life was branded \u201clonely\u201d by his wife<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe day before JD was selected \u2014 I did not know he was going to be selected \u2014 I was working as a lawyer, and I had the wardrobe of a person with three children who likes to do things outdoors, who has a dog, who doesn\u2019t like things to be too precious,\u201d Usha told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/usha-vance-second-lady-interview-the-free-press-peter-savodnik-jd-vance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Free Press<\/a>\u00a0writer Peter Savodnik.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that he\u2019s asking me for advice so much as it can be a very lonely, lonely world not to share with someone,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a very strange life that we lead, where there are lots of people who have just imagined all sorts of narratives about us and what we think and what we do and why we do it and how much planning goes into it and all these sorts of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before Usha Vance\u2019s comment about JD Vance being \u201clonely\u201d flooded social media. The internet quickly picked up the comments, and on social media platform Reddit, many made fun of the Vice President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey weren\u2019t wearing suits, so,\u201d one user wrote, referring to JD Vance\u2019s comment to Volodymyr Zelenskyy about not wearing a suit in the Oval Office, per\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/morgansloss1\/usha-vance-jd-vance-lonely-reactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Buzzfeed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another referred to the same occasion, writing, \u201cDid he say thank you to his friends?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third user on Reddit didn\u2019t spare the words, declaring, \u201cSpoiler alert: being an unlikable a**hole and condoning the behavior of madmen results in no friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh no, poor JD Vance,\u201d another user ironically wrote. \u201cMaking money off the same taxpayers he\u2019s demonizing while pushing to take away the benefits they paid into and firing many Americans. His kids will be in his rich buddies\u2019s private, expensive schools that they\u2019ve been pushing for taxpayers to pay for. But JD Vance feels lonely?
