Usha Vance expects to give birth in late July.
Second Lady Usha Vance announced on Jan. 20 that she is pregnant, meaning that Vice President JD Vance will have a fourth child.
Usha Vance announced the news on social media. “We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July,” read a statement bearing JD and Usha Vance’s signatures.
The Vance family’s three older children are two sons Ewan and Vivek, ages 8 and 5 respectively, and a daughter, 4-year-old Mirabel. They all reside at the vice president’s official residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington.
JD Vance’s family has gained attention during his vice presidency as he has taken his children on multiple official trips, including to foreign destinations. Footage of his children running up and down the staircase to Air Force Two has been widely circulated on social media.
The Vance couple has been married for 12 years and stated they raise their children in an interfaith household, with JD Vance being Catholic and Usha Vance being Hindu.
It is uncommon for an incumbent president or vice president to welcome a newborn child. The last child born to either officeholder during their term was Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, born on Aug. 9, 1963, to President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Vance is speculated to be running for president of the United States in the 2028 presidential election, with conservative figures such as Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk endorsing him for a possible campaign for the Republican nomination.
Vance has previously exhorted Americans to have more children.
“I want more happy children in our country and I want—and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them,” remarked Vance in his first public address as vice president during the March for Life, an annual anti-abortion event in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 24, 2025.
Usha Vance, previously a practicing attorney, has also publicly commented on the difficulty of raising children with public profiles.
“The balancing act today is sometimes easier than it was when I was working full-time in the private sector because I have more control over my schedule and do not feel pulled in as many directions,” she told The Daily Mail in May 2025.
