Usha Vance is “a mother of three...who gives lots of baths and forgets her ring sometimes,' her spokesperson said.
Usha Vance’s spokesperson has responded to online rumors about a divorce between her and Vice President JD Vance after photos of her not wearing a wedding ring went viral. The second lady is “a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths and forgets her ring sometimes,” the spokesperson said in a statement shared with People magazine.
The photos were taken when Usha Vance, alongside first lady Melania Trump, spoke at Camp Lejeune, a military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina on November 19. People online noticed that her wedding ring was not on her left hand throughout the appearance, which sparked speculation about the vice president’s marriage. Newsweek has contacted JD Vance’s office, via email outside of normal office hours, for comment.

Why It Matters The marriage of Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance has attracted significant public and media attention, both due to their national profiles and the couple’s openness about their interfaith family and personal challenges. Such speculation underscores the intense public interest in the private lives of national leaders, especially amid a politically charged atmosphere. What To Know The speculation that came after the photos followed widespread online chatter about JD Vance and Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk. Last month, Erika Kirk said the vice president reminded her of her late husband before the pair shared a hug on stage at a University of Mississippi Turning Point USA tour stop. “No one will ever replace my husband,” she said.” But I do see some similarities of my husband in JD — in Vice President JD Vance. I do. And that’s why I am so blessed to be able to introduce him tonight.” Images of the hug they shared afterwards went viral, with multiple internet users speculating that something was going on between them. Erika Kirk addressed this while speaking to Megyn Kelly at her Glendale live show when she said: “I’m walking over, he’s walking over, I’m starting to cry, he says ‘he’s so proud of you,’ and I say ‘God bless you,’ and I touch the back of his head.” What People Are Saying Erika Kirk said about her hug with Vance: “”Anyone who I’ve hugged, I’ve touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say God bless you. That’s just me. If you want to take that out of context, go right ahead. Again, that to me shows that you need a hug more than anyone else.” She previously told Fox News host Jesse Walters: “ been a blessing. He and Usha, they are the most incredible people. Incredible. With such genuine love.” What Happens Next Usha Vance remains an active presence in the vice president’s public engagements and charitable activities. Given the couple’s high-profile standing, ongoing scrutiny of their private and public interactions is likely to persist. However, the response from Usha Vance and her spokesperson demonstrates an effort to counteract fast-spreading misinformation and emphasize the normalcy of private family routines. More to follow.
