Last month, second lady Usha Vance was seen without her wedding ring as she and first lady Melania Trump visited Camp LeJeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River in the state of North Carolina.
Media reports picked up on the missing ring, and a post on the "@TheDemocrats" X account even asked, "Is JD sleeping on the couch?"

Reports earlier this month did indeed note the second lady being spotted without a wedding ring while she and the first lady visited Joint Base Andrews.
"There are certainly ways in which it’s difficult on the family," JD Vance told NBC News about the media speculation. "I’m not going to pretend that it isn’t. But it’s the sacrifice that we signed up for."
Fox News Digital reached out to Vance's office but no comment was provided.
