"Our marriage is as strong as it's ever been," said JD Vance in a recent interview with NBC News

As previously mentioned, JD Vance and Usha Vance have been in the middle of speculations and rumors suggesting that they were going through a turmoil in their marriage. According to NBC News, the rumors were further fueled when Usha was apparently spotted without her wedding ring on. 

On Thursday, when asked about whether the tabloid-style headlines were bothering the couple, JD Vance told NBC News that they would get a "kick out of it."

"With anything in life, you take the good with the bad... You accept that there are some sacrifices and there are some very good things that come along with it, too. But our marriage is as strong as it's ever been..." said Vance.

For the unversed, last month, Usha Vance was spotted without her wedding ring when she visited a military base with Melania Trump. At the time, several outlets, such as PEOPLE and The Daily Mail, reported the same as headlines. A spokesperson for Usha told both the outlets that she is "a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes."

Speaking of such speculations on Thursday, JD Vance said that he thought that these were "funny." Vance even cited a recent incident where he and Usha were rushing to the White House when she realized that she didn't have her wedding ring on. The US Vice President further recalled,

"She was like, 'Oh, if I don't go back and get them, there's going to be some ridiculous psycho who talks about it on social media.' And I was like, let them. It's not even worth the trip to run back upstairs. So we actually have a little bit of fun with it."

For the unversed, JD Vance and Usha Vance tied the knot back in the year 2014. They also have three kids aged 3, 5, and 8 years old.
