James Fishback has confirmed he is officially married, but news of the wedding has sparked widespread discussion online over the timeline of his recent relationships.
Fishback shared photos from the ceremony on social media showing him alongside his new wife, identified in reports as Valeria, captioning the post: “Mr & Mrs. Fishback,” followed by a prayer hands emoji. The announcement quickly drew attention from social media users who noted that Fishback had publicly been linked to another woman, Francesca Raine, also known online as “Crypto Barbie”, only a few months earlier.
During parts of his campaign activities, Fishback had reportedly referred to Raine as his “wife.” However, in February, he announced that the relationship had ended, claiming the breakup followed controversy surrounding his use of Tinder, which he said was part of efforts to connect with younger female voters.
It remains unclear how long Fishback and Valeria had been together before the marriage. When approached by the New York Post for clarification about the relationship timeline, Fishback reportedly replied: “I’m on my honeymoon with my wife, Valeria. I don’t have time for your AIPAC-inspired fake news.”
Fishback recently attracted further controversy during an appearance on TMZ’s “TMZ Live,” where he criticised OnlyFans creators and proposed what he described as a “sin tax” on earnings from adult content platforms. The remarks generated backlash online, with critics accusing the candidate of using inflammatory rhetoric during his campaign.
