Usha, wife of JD Vance, has always supported his faith journey since his conversion to Catholicism. Recently, during the interview, he said he felt guilt over its impact on his wife, Usha, who was raised in a Hindu household. He even expressed concern over how their new routine has shifted more responsibility onto her, especially with their children during Mass. The Ohio senator spoke on various topics, including the intention behind the “Cat Lady” remark aimed at Kamala Harris, immigration, Donald Trump’s loss in 2020, the ban on gender-affirming care, and more.

JD Vance speaks on his path to Catholicism.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, JD Vance discussed his path to Catholicism and its impact on his family life, saying, “I feel terrible for my wife because we go to church almost every Sunday unless we’re on the road.” His spiritual journey began between 2017 and 2019 when he experienced both professional success and the joy of becoming a father. He began thinking of the values of “meritocracy” that guided him and ultimately found what he lacked.

JD Vance’s search for meaning led him to Christianity.

JD Vance’s search for meaning led him back to Christianity, a faith that he previously set aside. He said, “I really want to be a good husband, a good father, and a good member of the community.” He also felt that Christianity’s teachings addressed his questions about living a virtuous life more effectively than the meritocratic ideas he had been raised with.

He felt bad for taking his Indian-American wife, Usha, to church and spoke on how his wife, raised in a Hindu household, supported his decision to convert. When asked if Usha also converted, JD Vance said, “No, she hasn’t, but she goes with me to church.”
