Whispers about Vance marriage grow louder as Second Lady ditches her wedding band

[edbermac]

Usha Vance was spotted at an official engagement without her wedding ring, weeks after husband JD Vance publicly revealed the religious divide in their marriage.

The Second Lady was ringless during her visit to Camp Lejeune military base in Richlands, North Carolina on Wednesday with First Lady Melania Trump.

Photos show Usha, 39, getting off a plane with her left hand in full view – and the wedding band nowhere to be seen.

Hmm… 🤔

[struggle4progress]

1. JD's going all-out white supremacist, calling that his religion

[Deuxcents]

2. Good for her. Being humiliated in front of the world is not what she deserves. Hope she runs him down on the way out

[BlueSpot]

19. I don't know what she deserves or doesn't

She hooked up with that asshole for some reason or another. Until or unless we know what that was, we can't make that judgment.

[Deuxcents]

24. No matter what it was..no one should be humiliated in such a public setting.

[fujiyamasan]

28. I believe she clerked for both Roberts and Kavanough

She may not be very vocal about her politics, but she’s no dummy and her clerkships may give some clue.

Once her husband hitched the family’s fortunes to Trump, she should have seen what was coming. Fuentes made it clear after the inauguration complaining about her. I think that’s when Vance said something apologetic about not having a white wife.

My guess is they’ll split. He’ll get with Ms black leather widow, and then he’ll go on Fuentes podcast soon after apologizing about his entire set of life choices up until then.

I just have a hard time sympathizing with these brown MAGAts. I’m hoping Vivek also gets trashed in Ohio.

30. Question, is the JD Vance she wed the same as the couch f*cker, greed monger

People change. Vance may have only been weird years ago. The asshat Vance of today may have never given her the time of day today. I feel bad for the kids. They deserve better.

[PatSeg]

41. I think he has changed dramatically

since she married him. He seems to have been quite a different person before Thiel recruited and supported him. Clearly, he sold his soul to the devil.

[Haggard Celine]

42. From what I've seen of his past statements,

he used to be relatively liberal. He did sell his soul.

[PatSeg]

44. Yes and very anti Trump as well

Guess there's no going back now.

It is interesting how few people from Trump's first administration are with him now. Maybe JD should have talked to them first before accepting the VP nomination.

[Haggard Celine]

46. I hadn't thought about the difference between

his administrations. He's got all new friends. I saw a woman who worked for Trump in the first term interviewed on an Amazon video today. She had nothing good to say about Trump. When RWers are appalled at your actions, you know you're a real piece of shit.

[PatSeg]

57. It hadn't dawned on me until recently

I suppose a lot of the first term people feel lucky to have gotten out without being indicted for something.

The main carryover seems to be Steven Miller, apparently not as aware as the others. Meanwhile, we rarely hear a peep from the others, mercifully not even Kellyanne Conway. Most of them just disappeared into the shadows, not wanting any media attention apparently.

[PJMcK]

55. I admire your ethical views

Personally, I think they're all opportunistic grifters who can marinate in their hypocrisies. Screw 'em.

You are, I believe, a better person than I.

[BannonsLiver]

3. I said this weeks ago on this forum

They will separate in the new year and be divorced by the end of 2026. He will marry Erikkka Kirk sometime before the 2028 campaign gets underway. Feel free to bookmark.

[Submariner]

13. You forgot the part where Erikkka will give birth

to twin blond sons as the October Surprise.

there...fixed it for you.

[BannonsLiver]

25. That's pretty good.

[LR3]

53. I guess

Erika likes guys with balloon heads

[Xolodno]

4. Could be the reason for all his vacation trips recently.

Trying to patch things up.

[Cha]

5. Whoa... one doesn't "ditch" their wedding

ban for no good reason.

[DavidDvorkin]

6. There can be innocent reasons for doing that

I cut my ring finger today and might have to keep my wedding ring off for a few days until the cut heals.

[EdmondDantes_]

16. True, but we're just seen in the romantic embrace of not your spouse?

Have you recently thrown your spouse's religion under the bus? Did you recently fail to disavow nazis by calling grown ups kids because you like your nazi friends more than your spouse of a non-white race?

Sure it could be a coincidence, but it would be strange timing.

[kerouac2]

7. Maybe she lost it in the couch cushions

If so, pretty sure shady Vance can poke around and find it.

[Bayard]

9. Dump him, girl

You can do much better. And get a new couch while you're at it.

[leftstreet]

11. +1 She could do a lot better

[Skittles]

31. can she?

doesn't say much about her that she married that fascist fuck

[FHRRK]

10. That explains the Bonespur/Bonesaw event

She wasn’t around to stop him from leaving the house in the gawd awful Tux.

[Takket]

12. the couch fucker isn't getting the 2028 rethug nomination with an "illegal" at his side

but the blonde and lilly white widow of a right wing hero? that gets you nominated

[ecstatic]

14. a guy who changed his name 3 times as an adult will NOT

have any issues replacing his wife to advance his career. The powers that be have spoken. He will marry eriKaKirK and his Hindu wife and kids will be in the rearview.

[Warpy]

15. Religious divide?

Let me guess, he's saying the OT guarantees him a harem starting with the blonde and she says not for the last several thousand years, Asshole.

Dunno, ending a marriage is always paingul and it's none of my business, but damn, doesn't he seem like the type!

[IronLionZion]

17. She can't even make him sleep on the couch, he'd be into it

Erikkka will comfort him during this time of need.

[gay texan]

18. Tatu is getting divorced, LOL!!!!!! N/T

[Akakoji]

20. He's an ambitious white nationalist, religious terrorist

I'm positive his religous cult will find some way to justify dumping her as unworthy in the eyes of some concept he calls God.

[calimary]

21. You may be right.

[Lars39]

34. "...be ye not unevenly yoked..." should do it

[KentuckyWoman]

22. Metal wedding bands

I had have my wedding ring sized up a little in my 50s. The local jeweler had to send it off and it took several weeks. I remember the raised eyebrows at the time to the point I got sick of explaining the ring was in for maintenance.

Menopausal swelling isn't the only reason a lady may not wear it. She doesn't owe an explanation to anyone but JD... and maybe not even then. Yes, her husband is a putz, but that's not her fault.

[Irish_Dem]

33. She is sending a message. She has had a complete style makeover.

And has hired a stylist.

They could get some sort of wedding rings for her to wear for this photo op if they wanted.

The ringless hand is a clear statement.

[Arazi]

37. She has enough $$ she could get her rings re-sized in a day

She knows the optics and if she cared to wear that exact ring set she could find a jeweler to alter them the same day.

Or wear facsimiles - nobody’s going to scrutinize her rings to that degree.

She’s definitely sending a message going without imo

[Irish_Dem]

38. Of course she could get the ring sized in a few hours.

Or borrow something suitable.

And the complete makeover from dowdy and overweight to slim, fashionable, beautiful is the tell.
If she could do all of that she can do a ring if she wanted to.

She is sending a clear message.

[Mossfern]

45. I haven't worn my wedding band for five years now

Nobody seems to have noticed.
Not even my husband.

To be honest, it was just a thin gold band ...

[senseandsensibility]

48. I gradually stopped wearing mine during Covid

The constant handwashing was screwing up the diamond and to be honest, I don't find rings comfortable. Since we never went anywhere during Covid anyway it didn't matter. Then I got used to it and now I only wear it to "go out". I explained why to the hubby who understands and no one else seems to have noticed.

[niyad]

23. "She's the mother of MY (emphasis mine) children, so I guess I love her."

I don't know what kind of arrangement they have, but a woman with an iota of self-respect would have been out the door with that remark.

[3catwoman3]

26. Did he really say THAT?

What a jerk.

[niyad]

36. Yes.

[senseandsensibility]

49. OMG is that a direct quote?

I'd only have four words for liddle Jaydee after that: Hit the Road Jack. OK, maybe a few more: And don't ya come back no more no more.

[niyad]

52. Sadly, yes.

[Dulcinea]

61. You're more polite than I would be.

I'd have 3 words for him: GO FUCK YOURSELF. Or a couch.

[Bread and Circuses]

27. I know many East Asians who take an extended visit to India . . . to visit

To visit with relatives and expose the children to her heritage, culture and history,

I think Usha needs to do that now. She’s tied herself to the water-boy of a fascist, criminal dictator.
Put your law degree to use, girlfriend.

As Miss Taylor Swift says : Shake It Off.

[fujiyamasan]

29. She could just head to San Diego with her kids and hang out with her parents

Better weather than DC this time of the year. I’m not sure how close she is to family in India. I guess the family took one trip a few months ago, including Vance.

Basically what Melania did most of Trump’s presidency, especially this term.

[Bread and Circuses]

63. Exactly!

[niyad]

60. She was, in fact, working at a big law firm up to the day eyeliner guy

was named as krasnov's choice for vp. She was even using her birth name. The day after the announcement, she was listed as a "former" at the firm, and using his name. I do not feel one bit sorry for her.

[Bread and Circuses]

64. I agree, she's All - In. But if she's having regrets, time to get out now,

[niyad]

66. Yes.

[Irish_Dem]

32. She's also upped her fashion game significantly.

No longer the dowdy little housewife.

Lost weight, had some facial work down, new hairstyle, make up, clothing.
Definitely has a stylist working for her.

Looks quite glamourous now.

Getting ready for her post divorce life?

[senseandsensibility]

50. Do you have any links to photos of her then?

Not doubting you, but I don't remember seeing her looking any differently than she looks now. Of course, JD has changed his look dramatically.

[Irish_Dem]

56. Look at the picture on the left in the OP.

Then compare it to the picture on the right in the OP.

No comparison.

She looks like she has had a makeover.
Hair, make up, sun glasses, possibly botox, etc.
A stylist as well who chose the outfit she is wearing on the right.

I have a sharp fashion eye and read forums which just deal with the latest fashions,
makeovers, plastic surgery etc. in the celebrity world.

[senseandsensibility]

58. Oh I thought all three of the pictures were from this year

Different days in November this year. Guess not.

[Irish_Dem]

59. Here is the timeline:

-Oct 29 2025. Vance giving Erica Kirk a passionate kiss and embrace in public.

-Oct 31 2025. Vance doubles down insulting his wife and her religion.

-Nov 10 2025. Vance's wife still wearing her wedding ring and looking dowdy with little attention to her appearance.

-Nov 19 2025. Vance's wife ditches the wedding ring and looks like a million bucks.
Looks like a model and clearly has had work done and a fashion consultant has been hired.

[Johonny]

35. I assume the new Epstein Island is visited

Often by Trump people. And yes, someone somewhere is supplying girls to wealthy men. Epstein will not have been the only people ever to do this. . . And we have discovered there's an implied huge demand from entitled rich men.

[valleyrogue]

39. Lots of people don't wear wedding rings. It means nothing when they don't. n/t

[BWdem4life]

40. Perhaps. But when you're in the public eye, you must know how it could be construed. nt

[Arazi]

43. Especially after a particularly tight and intimate embrace by JD with Erika Kirk

Splashed alllllll over the media…

And after he publicly says he wants her to convert which is a huge diss, especially considering she has her own rich heritage.

[Retrograde]

47. Neither my husband or I wear them

and it's been going on 52 years. (I actually had a cheap $5 one because my mother insisted, but I lost it shortly after the wedding and never replaced it). My father wore his at home, but always took it off when he went to work (safety reasons). It's up to the individual. For all I know, wedding rings may not be common in some cultures.

[Tree Lady]

51. We don't wear them either unless

We go out and feel like it. My fingers were swollen so I got them sized bigger then lost weight and inflammation and now one is loose and I don't want to size again. My husband says it messes with using tools.

[Dulcinea]

62. My father never wore one.

He & my mother were married 54 years until he passed away in 2019. YMMV.

[Irish_Dem]

67. When she has always worn them? And her husband just groped another woman in public?

And the same husband has been trashing her in public.

It is a message.

[Norrrm]

54. Is Vance looking for a proper white wife as befits his republican high status?

Did Vance ever denounce Trump's statements about immigrants poisoning the blood of our country?

If he did, I missed it.

That would apply to his own children.

[Jack Valentino]

65. Always thought she was way too good for him--- he would be happier

with a dirty couch--- with whom he would never be required to converse
