Usha Vance Seen Without Wedding Ring as Spokesperson Dismisses Speculation

Independent outlets verified the Nov. 19 photos as authentic.

Overview

  • During a Nov. 19 visit with Melania Trump to Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina, Usha Vance was photographed without a visible wedding ring.
  • Snopes confirmed the widely shared images are genuine, citing Getty Images and a U.S. Marine Corps photographer as sources.
  • A spokesperson for the second lady told USA Today and People that she is a mother of three who often does household chores and sometimes forgets her ring.
  • Online commentary escalated, but no outlet reported evidence of marital trouble, and Usha Vance has previously been photographed both with and without her band.
  • The scrutiny follows October attention to JD Vance’s remarks about hoping his wife embraces Christianity and a widely shared onstage hug with Erika Kirk, and the vice president was later photographed wearing his wedding ring.
