Divorce rumors have begun spreading like wildfire among supporters and critics of the Vice President, JD Vance, and the Second Lady, Usha Vance. Conspiracy theories in the past suggested the two were having trouble in paradise. This is especially after Usha was spotted without her wedding ring last year.
Speculations briefly stopped after the Vances continued to shut down rumors on their respective social media accounts and during interviews. But it looks like the rumor mill about their marriage being allegedly over has begun again.
Rumors about JD and Usha Vance’s marriage have included lavender couple speculations on social media, but mainstream reports focus on denied divorce talk. They’ve publicly affirmed their relationship is strong, with no evidence for other claims.

According to The List, it’s been 29 days since the SLOTUS made an appearance in public. Usha frequently made appearances with her husband in public when he was on a campaign. However, she has not made any public appearances or statements in almost a month now.
The last time she was spotted in public was shortly before Christmas, on December 16, 2025. Throughout much of 2025, JD and Usha’s divorce rumors took center stage. Especially with the missing ring.
BREAKING: JD Vance’s wife, Usha, denies rumors she split from her husband after she was seen without her wedding ring during a visit to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC.

Previously, her husband revealed his wife would remove it when doing the dishes and then forget to put it back on. It just so happened that the day the media spotted her without the ring, she had forgotten to put it back on her finger.
There was quite an uproar about her ring on the internet since it only added fuel to the fire of the divorce rumors. One user sarcastically wrote, “I’m absolutely certain that the Second Lady of the United States does her own dishes.”
In addition to the missing ring on her finger, divorce rumors intensified with Erika Kirk in the mix. The late Charlie Kirk’s widow was also rumored to have been romantically involved with the SLOTUS’s husband, sparking rumors of an affair. Both JD and Usha continue to strongly deny claims and have barely been spotted together since.

During a recent interview with NBC, JD addressed the divorce rumors and his wife’s disappearance from the spotlight. About the internet’s eruption over the divorce rumors, he claimed the couple was getting “a kick out of it.”
Moreover, he also highlighted his wife’s absence, saying, “It’s more than Usha’s ring that’s missing from the public eye; this time it’s Usha herself. With the interview released sometime last year, could it be that JD was letting supporters and critics know she was going to be MIA for some time?
Where is Usha Vance?

The internet has erupted over her disappearance. Many on social media platforms like X have tagged the SLOTUS and flooded the social media with a single question: “Where is Usha Vance?” A second one said, “Usha is NOT doing dishes…” A third one similarly said, “There are things called dishwashers. I am sure Usha has one too.”
There has been no word about her whereabouts for the last 29 days, prompting concern among supporters. Neither the SLOTUS nor her husband and their representatives have commented on Usha’s whereabouts or her plans for the rest of 2026.
