A video shared on X claims Vice President JD Vance was divorced twice.

 

Verdict: False

There is no evidence that Vance has been married twice.

Fact Check:

Social media users have been sharing a video that claims Vance has been divorced twice before he was married to his current wife, Usha Vance. (RELATED: Did Trump Make An X Post With A Referral Link Providing A Discount On Tesla Purchases?)

This claim is false. If Vance had been divorced twice, media outlets would have covered it, yet none have. A wider internet search also did not yield any results.

Vance tweeted that she was his girlfriend as early as 2011, tweeting in 2022 that “eleven years ago” he had brought his new girlfriend to the Ohio State Fair.

 

A Vance spokesperson told USA Today that the claim was false, saying, “Senator Vance was not married prior to his marriage with Usha.” They were married in 2014, according to The New York Times.
