Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha announced the birth of their son Alec Neel Vance, their fourth child, in a social-media post.
Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance said a son, Alec Neel Vance, was born on Sunday morning. The couple shared a joint social-media message that said Usha and the baby were "happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother," and thanked staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit. The Vances, who met at Yale Law School in 2010 and married in Kentucky in 2014, now have four children: sons Ewan and Vivek, daughter Mirabel, and newborn Alec. The birth marks the first known instance of a sitting second lady giving birth while her husband holds office. The White House issued its own congratulatory post. Earlier in January, the Vances had announced they were expecting a fourth child. At the 2024 Republican National Convention, Usha Vance said her husband’s primary goal was to be a husband and father and to build a close-knit family. The family has accompanied the vice president on official trips abroad, including a Vatican Good Friday service and a dinner in New Delhi with India’s prime minister.
