Vice President JD Vance announced via social media that his wife Usha welcomed their fourth son, Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday morning. The baby, a healthy boy, joins the family that already includes daughter Mirabel and sons Ewan and Vivek.
In his statement, Vance expressed joy that the family is thriving, thanking the medical staff at Walter Reed Medical Center for their care. The celebratory post highlighted the happiness of his wife and the excitement of the existing children.
The birth carries a historic note: it is the first time a child has been born to a living U.S. vice‑president since the 19th century. This milestone underscores an uncommon moment for the office.
Usha Vance, born in San Diego and raised by parents who emigrated from Andhra Pradesh, met JD Vance at Yale Law School in 2010 during a discussion on social topics.
Vance has previously advocated for higher birth rates in America, positioning family growth as a national conversation. He noted the arrival of his son as part of that broader view of a thriving future.
