Usha Vance Addresses Rumors About Marriage to Vice President JD Vance Following Ringless Appearance

Speculation about the state of Vice President JD Vance’s marriage to Second Lady Usha Vance surged this week after she was seen in public without her wedding ring. The second lady, who is known for maintaining a low profile, has now addressed the matter through a spokesperson.

On Wednesday, Nov. 19, Usha, 39, accompanied First Lady Melania Trump on a visit to Camp Lejeune, a military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Photographs from the visit showed Usha without her wedding band, prompting a wave of social media chatter questioning the couple’s marital status.

In response, a spokesperson for Usha clarified the circumstances in a statement, emphasizing the second lady’s busy family life. “Usha is a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes,” the statement read, underscoring the ordinary nature of the oversight.JD and Usha Vance have been married since 2014 and share three children: Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3. Despite the reassurance from the spokesperson, the rumors were further fueled by a moment involving JD Vance and Erika Kirk, widow of the late conservative organizer Charlie Kirk.
