Usha Vance has made some rare remarks about her marriage to JD Vance.
Usha, 39, has been married to the vice president of the United States for over a decade and shares two sons and a daughter with the 41-year-old politician.
The couple's relationship started when they met at Yale Law School in 2010 and wed four years later. In his book, JD says he 'fell hard' for his now-wife after they first met, so much so he supposedly told her he loved her on their first date.
But the pair have recently been rocked with break-up speculation after Usha was spotted without her wedding ring last month.

At the time, a spokesperson for the second lady told People that Usha is 'a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes'.
JD also dismissed the rumors that their relationship was on the rocks and insisted that it was 'as strong as it's ever been'.
He even told NBC that he and Usha have been 'getting a kick' out of the speculation.
Now, Usha herself has addressed the reports and echoed similar sentiments to her husband.
She told USA Today: "I find that one of the really curious things about this life is that people really like to read the tea leaves, and there's a kind of an industry building stories about everything that they can imagine."
"I'd rather just sort of live in my marriage and in the real world and less in kind of the fever dreams that surround it," Usha continued.
"So I mean, it is kind of a family joke, but also not something that I spend very much time thinking about."
Directly addressing being seen without her wedding ring, Usha casually said: "Sometimes I'm wearing it and sometimes I've just been to the gym and showered and I'm not wearing it."
Elsewhere, the mom-of-three reflected on her life before her husband became VP.
"There are things that I miss and things that I'm excited to have moved on from," she admitted.
Another thing the Vances have been forced to address recently is photos of JD seemingly shouting at his wife from across the table.
"Looks like things are not so good in Republicanistan," said one who shared the image on Facebook. "Usha is a liberal. Always has been. Apparently they were having and argument loud enough to quiet the restaurant. Why is he wearing a tee shirt?"
JD has since addressed the snap and quipped: "I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife."
