Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, have expanded their family yet again with the birth of their fourth baby.
“We’re excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the child are blissful and healthy, and our children are overjoyed to satisfy their little brother,” Vance, 41, and Usha, 40, announced via a joint statement shared via X on Sunday, July 19.
“The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing,” the announcement continued. “We’re deeply thankful for all they’ve done for our family.”
JD and Usha have been married since June 2014. The couple previously welcomed son Ewan in June 2017, son Vivek in February 2020 and daughter Mirabel in December 2021.
The vp and second lady announced in January that they were expecting their fourth baby.
“We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy,” the pair said in a press release shared via Instagram. “Usha and the child are doing well, and we’re all looking forward to welcoming him in late July.”
The statement continued: “During this exciting and hectic time, we’re particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who achieve this much to be sure that we will serve the country while having fun with a beautiful life with our kids.”
JD and Usha are the primary vice presidential couple to welcome a baby while in office since Schuyler Colfax — who served during Ulysses S. Grant’s presidency — and his wife, Ellen Colfax, in 1870.
Months before revealing their pregnancy news, JD and Usha faced split rumors when she was spotted without her wedding ring.
Vice President JD Vance’s journey to the White House wouldn’t be complete without his wife, second lady Usha Vance. Long before being chosen as President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, JD developed a singular love story with Usha after they were each in law school. Their relationship, nonetheless, took on the highlight much more when […]
“[She is] a mother of three young children, who does plenty of dishes, gives plenty of baths and forgets her ring sometimes,” a rep for Usha told People in November 2025.
The next month, JD insisted to NBC News, “Our marriage is as strong because it’s ever been,” adding that he and Usha “get a kick” out of the speculation about their relationship.
“With anything in life, you are taking the great with the bad,” he said in December 2025. “You accept that there are some sacrifices and there are some superb things that come together with it too.”
While JD admitted that navigating rumors about his marriage may very well be “tough,” he revealed that Usha also made light of the situation by joking about leaving her wedding ring behind before a public outing.
Many stars are expanding their families in 2026. Actresses Bonnie Wright, Aubrey Plaza and Natalie Portman revealed in April that they’re pregnant. The following month, Princess Eugenie shared the news that she is expecting her third baby with husband Jack Brooksbank. Thank You! You might have successfully subscribed.

“She was like, ‘Oh, if I don’t return and get them, there’s going to be some ridiculous psycho who talks about it on social media,’” he elaborated. “And I used to be like, ‘Allow them to. It’s not even well worth the trip to run back upstairs.’ So we even have somewhat little bit of fun with it. And we thought that whole viral social media cycle was form of funny.”
Prior to the marital speculation, Usha opened up about her and JD’s family plans.
“I don’t think we might have gotten married if we didn’t each know that we were going to have kids,” she told Meghan McCain during a June 2025 episode of the “Citizen McCain” podcast. “We each independently were very fascinated about it, in order that was never in query. By the point we were married, we knew we were going to have kids. The number, though, that was the query.”
She continued: “I believe what we had decided on the outset is, ‘We’ll have two, after which we’ll see how we feel after that.’ I believed, perhaps, I’d have two kids and would think I’m done, but I just liked having the 2 kids a lot that I believe I ended up being the motive force for 3.”
