Netizens cannot stop swooning over the heartwarming look JD Vance's wife gave him during Donald Trump's inauguration, where Usha Vance, who has boasted about her husband before, was in attendance.

During Donald Trump's second inauguration on January 20, 2025, where he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, JD Vance took the oath of Vice President. While the event certainly held rich historic significance, it was the touching look his wife and US Second Lady, Usha Vance, gave him that caught the public's attention.

Sky News shared the tender exchange on Instagram. The video footage showed JD, dressed sharply in a tailored suit and classic red tie, with one hand raised as Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh recited the oath.

Usha radiated nothing but pride and joy as she stood beside JD in a chic pink coat cradling their daughter in her arms, as the little girl sucked her thumb.

The scene was picture-perfect as Usha gazed at her husband with unmistakable love, her warm and wide smile lighting up the room as the Vice President pledged to defend the Constitution. Beside her, their two sons stood tall, taking in the historic event alongside their mother and baby sister.

Loud cheers erupted from the audience the moment JD concluded his oath and was sworn in as Vice President of the US. In a touching gesture, JD leaned over to give Usha a sweet kiss. The joyous moment also included a warm exchange between JD and the president, who gave him a congratulatory handshake after JD bent down to dote on his children.

In their caption alongside the video, Sky News summarized the moment, noting how Usha held the Bible for JD as he pledged his allegiance to the country.

"J.D. Vance's swearing in [sic], with his wife holding their daughter, while she sucked her thumb, is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. An emotional Iconic moment. This is why we fight fight fight!❤️" gushed a supporter. A fellow fan noted, "Noticed the look too. Adorable."

One enthusiastic supporter went so far as to offer relationship advice inspired by the moment, instructing, "Get you a wife or partner who looks at you like Usha Vance looks at JD Vance. She is so beautiful and an absolute breath of fresh air. #Inauguration."

They also attached a snapshot of the loving gaze Usha gave JD to emphasize their point. "Did you see the look of admiration on JD Vance [sic] wife's face when he was being sworn in??? Priceless!!🥰❤️," penned another admirer.

The widely praised moment between JD and Usha during the inauguration reflects not just a single instance of love and pride but a deeper story of their remarkable bond.

This connection was eloquently captured by Usha herself during the Republican National Convention in July 2024, where she shared insights into their relationship, her admiration for her husband, and why he would make a great Vice President.

She recounted their first meeting at Yale Law School when JD had just transitioned from Ohio State. Divulging details about their initial friendship, she said, "We were friends first because, I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with JD? He was then, as now, the most interesting person I knew."

Usha then highlighted JD's extraordinary journey — from growing up in a working-class background and overcoming childhood traumas to becoming a marine who served in Iraq and ultimately finding his way to one of the most prestigious law schools in the country.

She painted a vivid picture of JD's multifaceted personality, describing him as "a tough marine [...] but whose idea of a good time, was playing with puppies and watching the movie 'Babe.'"

One of the things that struck her most was his unwavering ambition to create a tight-knit family — a dream he had longed for since his childhood.

While Usha grew up in a middle-class household in San Diego with two loving immigrant parents from India and a sister, JD's life in Middletown, Ohio, was starkly different.

Yet, she credited their union as a testament to the American way. "That JD and I could meet at all, let alone fall in love and marry, is a testament to this great country. It is also a testament to JD, and it tells you something about who he is," stated Usha.

Her admiration extended to JD's willingness to embrace her culture, from adapting to her vegetarian diet to learning how to cook Indian food from her mother.

"Before I knew it, he'd become an integral part of my family, a person I could not imagine living without," disclosed Usha, who said that despite their different upbringings, JD's values and goals remained steadfast.

She continued, "The JD I knew then is the same JD you see today [...] And his goals in this new role are the same that he has pursued for our family — To keep people safe, to create opportunities, to build a better life, and to solve problems with an open mind."

Reflecting on their journey, Usha concluded, "It's safe to say that neither JD nor I expected to find ourselves in this position. But it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of the American Dream."

Four months after Usha's heartfelt speech at the Republican National Convention, JD found himself at another pivotal moment in his life — the realization that he would be the Vice President of the US.

On November 6, 2024, JD took to X to share his gratitude in a message that reflected both his humility and deep appreciation for the key figures in his journey. "THANK YOU!" began JD, before turning his attention to Usha, the woman who has stood steadfastly by his side.Advertisement

"To my beautiful wife for making it possible to do this," acknowledged the loving husband. He continued his message by expressing gratitude to Donald for giving him the opportunity to serve America and concluded, "And to the American people, for their trust. I will never stop fighting for ALL of you."

JD has long celebrated the profound impact his wife has had on his life. His admiration for Usha is evident not just in his public declarations but also in his 2016 memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy." In the book, JD, reportedly, referred to Usha as his "Yale spirit guide."

"She instinctively understood the questions I didn't even know to ask, and she always encouraged me to seek opportunities that I didn't know existed," wrote JD, highlighting Usha's insight and unwavering support.

The supportive and loving relationship Usha and JD share has also seen them embark on the journey of parenthood together.

In addition to their firstborn son, Ewan Blaine Vance, who was born on June 4, 2017, the doting mom and dad also share a daughter named Mirabel Rose Vance, who was born in December 2021.

JD and Usha also have another son named Vivek Vance. In an endearing Instagram post that JD shared on October 3, 2024, Vivek was seen enjoying a pleasant fishing trip with his dad.

"Great day fishing the Kalamazoo River in Saugatuck with my four year old [sic] son Vivek this morning. We always enjoy our visits to Michigan, be back soon!" captioned JD.

The doting dad of three penned the sweet message alongside the carousel post showing touching father-son fishing moments.
