In stark contrast to her stable upbringing, JD was a “working class guy who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom to end up at Yale Law School,” said Usha. It was at Yale Law School that the two first met and became friends. “We were friends first, because, I mean, who wouldn’t want to be friends with JD?” Usha revealed, describing her husband as “a tough Marine who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a good time was playing with puppies and watching the movie ‘Babe.’” “Meat and potatoes guy”Usha again acknowledged her Indian roots and spoke about finding common ground in their differences. She described her husband as a “meat and potatoes” guy who adapted to her vegetarian diet and even learned to cook Indian food. Usha was raised a Hindu, while her husband is a Chrian. “When JD met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm,” she said. “He wanted to know everything about me… although he is a meat and potatoes guy, he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learned to cook food from my mother – Indian food,” she added. The Indian-American lawyer said her husband soon became an integral part of their family and is still the same person he was all those years ago – except for the fact he now has a beard. Usha and JD Vance got married in 2014 and have three children together. Catch every big hit, every wicket with Crickit, a one stop destination for Live Scores, Match Stats, Infographics & much more.
