Usha Vance addressed speculation about her marriage after she was seen without her wedding ring. The vice president’s wife had sparked rumors following an emotional moment between JD Vance and Erika Kirk — widow of Charlie Kirk — during a Turning Point USA event, where Erika touched JD’s head during a hug that many online called overly intimate.
Soon after, Usha appeared at Camp Lejeune without her ring, prompting further chatter. Her representative shut the speculation down, explaining she simply “forgets her ring sometimes” because she’s a busy mom of three who “does a lot of dishes” and gives “lots of baths.”
Usha and JD Vance, married since 2014, share three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel.
