America’s Second Family is growing: Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance revealed they’re expecting a fourth child, a boy, in late July. The news, dropped on social media, has united politicians in celebration, offering a refreshing pause from Capitol Hill tensions.
‘We’re delighted to announce our family is expanding!’ Usha posted on X, resharing JD’s confirmation. ‘Thrilled that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child—a son. They’re both well, and we look forward to July’s end,’ he noted. Vance spotlighted the military doctors’ exemplary care and the staff’s role in sustaining their dual lives.
‘In this exciting phase, thanks to our military physicians for family support and the team ensuring we thrive in service and fatherhood,’ he wrote. The couple’s three kids—Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—will gain a sibling, enriching their close-knit dynamic.
Usha’s heritage shines through: San Diego-raised by Andhra Pradesh immigrants (engineer dad, biologist mom), she connected with JD at Yale Law School’s 2010 seminar on white America’s struggles. Her legal stardom includes Supreme Court clerkships under Roberts and Kavanaugh, and San Francisco litigation prowess.
As public figures, the Vances prioritize family amid scrutiny. This pregnancy symbolizes resilience and optimism, with cross-aisle cheers reinforcing national unity on life’s simplest joys.
