Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, are expecting their fourth child, a son, in late July, adding to their growing family and aligning with Vance's public advocacy for increasing birth rates.
Vice President JD Vance, 41, and second lady Usha Vance, 40, announced on social media that they are expecting their fourth child, a son, in late July. The new baby will join their three other young children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. The couple expressed gratitude for the care provided by military doctors and staff. This personal news comes as Vance has been a prominent advocate for Americans to have more children, consistently voicing concerns about declining birth rates since his political career began in 2021. Historically, it is rare for occupants of the highest U.S. leadership roles to have children while in office, with President Grover Cleveland's wife giving birth in 1893 being a notable exception. The White House reposted the announcement, emphasizing the administration's 'pro-family' stance, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is also expecting a baby in May.
