Usha Vance has recently spoken out about her marriage to JD Vance.
The 39-year-old, married to the Vice President of the United States for over ten years, shares three children with her 41-year-old husband.
Their relationship began in 2010 at Yale Law School, leading to their marriage four years later. JD, in his book, describes how he ‘fell hard’ for Usha almost immediately, even declaring his love on their first date.
Recently, speculation arose about their relationship after Usha was seen without her wedding ring.
JD quickly refuted the rumors, assuring that their marriage is ‘as strong as it’s ever been’.
He mentioned to NBC that he and Usha have been amused by the rumors.
Usha has now addressed the reports, sharing similar views to her husband.
In an interview with USA Today, Usha said: “I find that one of the really curious things about this life is that people really like to read the tea leaves, and there’s a kind of an industry building stories about everything that they can imagine.”
“I’d rather just sort of live in my marriage and in the real world and less in kind of the fever dreams that surround it,” Usha added.
“So I mean, it is kind of a family joke, but also not something that I spend very much time thinking about.”
Addressing her absence of a wedding ring, Usha explained: “Sometimes I’m wearing it and sometimes I’ve just been to the gym and showered and I’m not wearing it.”
Reflecting on her life before JD became VP, the mother of three remarked:
“There are things that I miss and things that I’m excited to have moved on from,” she confessed.
Another issue the Vances recently addressed was a photo suggesting JD was arguing with Usha at a restaurant.
“Looks like things are not so good in Republicanistan,” commented one Facebook user who shared the image. “Usha is a liberal. Always has been. Apparently they were having an argument loud enough to quiet the restaurant. Why is he wearing a tee shirt?”
JD responded to the image, humorously stating: “I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife.”
