A blurry restaurant photo sparked online rumors of marital trouble between Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, igniting speculation across social media. The image, shared widely in early December, appeared to show JD arguing with a woman many assumed was Usha, fueling theories about divorce, attire, and relationship strain.
JD Vance quickly shut down the rumors with sarcasm, joking online about “wearing an undershirt to argue loudly” with his wife, while also reaffirming in an interview with NBC News that their marriage remains strong. Despite continued chatter—including attention on Usha being seen without a wedding ring during a trip with Melania Trump—the couple and their representatives have dismissed the speculation as overblown and unfounded.
