Usha Vance, the Second Lady of the United States, has announced that she is expecting her fourth child with her husband, Vice President JD Vance. In a heartfelt statement shared on the family’s official Instagram account, the couple revealed they are expecting a boy, due in late July 2024.
The announcement featured signatures from both Usha and JD Vance, expressing their excitement. “Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him,” the post stated. The couple currently has three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel.
In their message, the Vances extended appreciation to the military doctors who provide care for their family. “During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children,” they added.
The White House celebrated the announcement, dubbing the administration “the most pro-family administration in history” and offering their congratulations to the Vance family.
JD Vance, 41, and Usha Vance, 40, first met while studying at Yale University, where they both pursued law degrees. They married in 2014, and Usha has built a successful career in law, working with various firms before JD Vance’s election as Vice President alongside Donald Trump in 2024.
In a recent interview with USA Today, Usha reflected on her journey, noting the complexities of balancing family life with public expectations. “There are things that I miss and things that I’m excited to have moved on from,” she remarked.
The couple’s relationship has attracted significant media attention in recent months, with speculation surrounding their family dynamics. In a discussion with NBC News, JD Vance addressed the impact of public scrutiny on their children. He shared that one of their sons finds the media attention challenging. “I think that there’s always a limelight on the kids, and that’s both good and bad,” he explained. “Our 8-year-old really doesn’t like it. He wants to have as private a life as possible.”
Conversely, Vance noted that their other son enjoys the attention, relishing the special treatment he receives in public. “He probably likes it too much,” JD said with a hint of humor. “He loves the fact that wherever he goes, people treat him very specially. They always give him candy or cookies.”
As the Vance family prepares for their newest addition, they continue to navigate the joys and challenges of family life in the public eye.
