Vice President JD Vance’s wife Usha gives birth to baby boy
US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha have welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy named Alec Neel Vance. The couple announced the birth on X, saying mother and baby were "happy and healthy" and thanking staff at Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit for their care.
Usha, 40, and JD, 41, first revealed in January that they were expecting a boy, and had said they expected to welcome him in late July. He joins the couple's two sons, Ewan, nine, and Vivek, six, and their four-year-old daughter, Mirabel. Vance had previously told the Daily Mail the couple typically waits until after a baby is born to settle on a name, as they did with their other three children.

Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha have their fourth child, a boy, joining sons Ewan and Vivek and daughter Mirabel. The couple, who are in their early forties, had announced the pregnancy in January and said they expected the baby around late July, so the birth comes broadly as anticipated.
Vance has served as US Vice President since January 2025, and the family's milestones tend to draw wide public attention given his prominent political role. The birth was announced by the couple themselves, with thanks given to the medical staff who cared for mother and baby.
