U.S. Vice President JD Vance has responded to growing online speculation about his marriage after recent photos showed his wife, Usha Vance, without her wedding ring during an official visit to a military base with the First Lady.
In a new interview, Vance said he and Usha are largely amused by the viral chatter, describing it as an unavoidable part of public life. He stressed that their marriage is strong and praised how well Usha has adapted to her heightened public role, adding that watching her growth has been “cool” for him.
Online conversations surged after the ringless photos spread across social media, prompting rumours about the couple’s relationship. When asked whether the scrutiny had been difficult for them, Vance dismissed the concerns entirely.
He recounted a recent moment at the White House when Usha forgot to put on her rings after taking a shower. She briefly considered returning to retrieve them, but he encouraged her not to worry. The couple later laughed together about the viral reactions that followed.
