You might have heard rumors that Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha aren’t doing too hot. Who knows why these rumors are spreading — maybe it’s because Usha’s been seen without her wedding ring; maybe it’s because Vance recently made a statement saying he still wants her to convert to his religion.

Seeing these rumors, JD has decided to respond — by assuring people that his marriage is, you know, fine.

“Our marriage is as strong as it’s ever been,” he told NBC News. He later added that it was “kind of cool to see how she’s developed and evolved in this new role.” Good work, boss! Really sounds like you love her!

Is JD’s marriage actually on the rocks? Who knows and, honestly, who cares. Still, if you’re having to tell the press that you love your wife, you probably messed up somewhere down the line.
