Former vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan announced this week that she has converted from Judaism to Christianity and was baptized.
Shanahan recounted the story of her conversion in a post on X.
Shanahan, 39, is a billionaire entrepreneur and attorney. Shanahan was formerly married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin and had been a supporter of several Democratic politicians prior to the 2024 election. She officially joined Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign in March 2024.
Much like Kennedy, Shanahan is known for her skepticism of vaccines. She has also expressed belief in a conspiracy theory that high-flying aircrafts disperse “chemtrails” consisting of chemical or biological agents to poison the public.
After Kennedy dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump, Shanahan said that she is neither a “Harris Democrat” nor a “Trump Republican.”

On Tuesday (Feb. 25), Shanahan published a lengthy post on X, in which she shared about a bishop named Diane, who was pivotal in Shanahan’s conversion after Shanahan “suffered a heart-wrenching loss.”
Shanahan explained that she met Diane through Shanahan’s masseuse, Ade, who had long prayed for Shanahan.
“One day, it finally hit me that his prayers were doing more to heal me than the deep tissue massage ever could. As we were wrapping a session, I asked, ‘Hey Ade, do you know anyone who can help keep ‘bad energy’ away from people? Basically an exorcism,’” Shanahan recounted. “Ade looked at me, paused, and simply said, ‘Yes—when you are ready.’”
“In the weeks following our family’s loss, I saw Ade again, and as he had so many times before, he prayed for me,” Shanahan continued. “But this time was different. I bowed my head, let the tears fall, and begged God’s help. It was then that Ade connected me with Diane.”

When she met with Diane, Shanahan said she was struck that Diane’s Bible was well-worn and that her faith was resolute.
