Vice President JD Vance And Second Lady Usha Welcome Fourth Child

Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced Sunday that they have welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy named Alec Neel Vance. The couple shared that both mother and baby are healthy and doing well following the birth at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.

In a statement, the Vances said they were excited to introduce their newest son and thanked the medical staff at Walter Reed and the White House Medical Unit for the exceptional care they received. They also said their three older children, Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel, are thrilled to welcome their new baby brother into the family.

The birth marks a historic milestone, as Alec Neel Vance is the first child born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years. The last such birth occurred during the vice presidency of Schuyler Colfax in 1870.

The Vances first announced Usha’s pregnancy in January, sharing that they were expecting a baby boy later this year. Throughout the pregnancy, the Second Lady continued to accompany the vice president on official trips and public appearances while maintaining a busy schedule.

Vice President Vance has frequently spoken about the importance of family and encouraging Americans to have children, making the arrival of the couple’s fourth child a deeply personal milestone. The Vances have been married since 2014 after meeting while attending Yale Law School and have often emphasized that raising their family is one of their greatest priorities.

Congratulatory messages poured in from supporters and public officials following the announcement, celebrating the newest addition to the second family as they begin life with baby Alec Neel Vance.
