JD Vance’s wife has been spotted without her wedding ring on weeks after the US Vice President revealed there was a religious divide in their marriage.
The Second Lady was spotted without her ring during a visit to Camp Lejeune military base in Richlands, North Carolina, with Melania Trump.
Images show her getting off a plane with her left hand in view, but the ring was nowhere to be seen.
The wedding band appears to have remained off throughout the visit.
But JD Vance has continued to wear his during a speaking event in Washington on Thursday.
Rumours began circulating around their marriage in October, after the Vice President admitted he begged his wife to convery from Hinduism to Catholicism.
Usha was also seen without her ring earlier this month during a visit to a military medical centre with her husband.
A spokesperson for the couple said: ‘Usha is a mother of three young children who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.’
But social media users pointed out she must have known this would be speculated on.
One person wrote: ‘Yes, many people (not just women) don’t wear their wedding rings all the time.
‘But she has to know she’ll be photographed and it will be commented/speculated on…so I definitely think it’s purposeful to make some sort of “statement”.’
