Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, celebrated her 37th birthday on November 20, 2025. Many MAGA supporters, political figures, and organizations, including Fox News and Kimberly Guilfoyle, wished her a happy birthday on social media. This was Erika’s first birthday since her husband, conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, was tragically shot and killed at an event in Utah in September. However, Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, did not post any birthday wishes for Erika, which sparked curiosity and online discussions.
JD and Usha Vance Ignore Erika Kirk’s Birthday
The absence of the Vances was particularly noticeable because of a viral hug between JD Vance and Erika Kirk during a tribute to Charlie Kirk in October. At that moment, Erika’s hands were reportedly in JD’s hair, and the two were very close, which caused widespread speculation on social media. Some believe that Usha Vance may have set boundaries, preventing her husband from publicly celebrating Erika’s birthday. Fans and social media users noticed the lack of posts and shared their opinions online, questioning the state of the Vances’ relationship.

Despite the speculation, JD and Usha Vance continue to appear together in public. They recently attended the Marine Corps Ball on November 8, 2025, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Marines. During the event, they held hands, shared hugs, and exchanged a kiss on the cheek. However, many social media users felt the gestures seemed forced or unnatural, fueling rumors about potential marital tension between the couple.
Some issues in the Vances’ marriage may also relate to religious differences. JD Vance, a Christian, mentioned during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes Usha may someday share his religious beliefs, even though he stated that their faith differences are not a problem. These comments added to speculation that there could be underlying challenges in their relationship, separate from Erika Kirk.
