Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance Welcome Fourth Child</TITLE]The birth of the couple’s son marks the first time a sitting Vice President has welcomed a child in over 150 years.Published On 19 Jul 202619 Jul 2026United States Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, have officially announced the birth of their fourth child.In a formal statement, the couple confirmed that their son was born on Sunday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning,” the statement noted.“Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” the message continued.Vance, originally from Ohio, and Usha, the daughter of Indian immigrants, met while studying at Yale Law School and graduated in 2013.The couple has three other children: their first son, Ewan, born in 2017; their second son, Vivek, born in 2020; and their daughter, Mirabel, born in 2021.The arrival of Alec Neel Vance holds historical significance, as he is the first child born to a sitting Vice President in more than a century and a half.According to the White House Historical Association, the last time a Vice President became a new father was in 1870, when Schuyler Colfax and his second wife, Ellen Wade, welcomed their son, Schuyler Colfax III.A former U.S. Marine, Vance has been a vocal proponent of increasing American birth rates throughout his political career, which began with his 2021 Senate bid in Ohio.During the 2025 March for Life rally in Washington, the Vice President stated, “I want more babies in the United States of America.”The birth is part of a recent trend of new additions to families within President Donald Trump’s administration. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie, recently welcomed their fourth child, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave birth to her second child with husband Nicholas Riccio in May.
