Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday morning.
Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance announced on Sunday the birth of their fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance. The couple shared the news via a joint Instagram post, noting that both Usha Vance and the newborn are healthy. The announcement marks a historic milestone, as it is the first time in over 150 years that a second lady has given birth while in office. The couple expressed gratitude to the medical staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit for their care. While the family will maintain their official residence at the Naval Observatory, they plan to spend more time in rural northern Virginia to provide the children with a sense of normalcy away from the public eye. Usha Vance, who transitioned from a career as a lawyer to her current role, has focused on childhood literacy as a primary platform during her time in office. The family now includes three older children: sons Ewan and Vivek, and daughter Mirabel.
