In 2026, Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten Buttigieg were falsely accused in a “swatting” incident, leading to the couple being separated from their then 4-year-old twins. The allegation was determined to be false and Buttigieg wrote about the incident. He called it “one of the most awful moments of my life” and called on both Republicans and Democrats to disagree on politics without involving family members.
