Usha Vance shared that growing up in a stable Hindu household eliminated her desire to change religions.

Her husband, JD Vance, converted to Catholicism as an adult, a topic featured in his latest book.

The interview sparked viral reactions, with some interpreting her words as a critique of her husband’s troubled upbringing.

She stated that his faith journey has impacted their relationship more than her personal religious beliefs.

I grew up in a Hindu household that was a very stable household. I have not felt the same need to seek something different that he (JD Vance) has," she said. "So I think the journey has been more in our relationship, right? Trying to understand where he is, the different ways he’s thinking about things, how that fits into the life that we have together ... and less a religious journey of my own.— Usha Vance, Second Lady of the United States, on her religion and her husband's conversion, from a CBS News interview
