U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance Announces Pregnancy with Fourth Child
In a heartwarming family announcement, U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance and Vice President JD Vance have revealed they are expecting their fourth child. The news was shared via social media on Tuesday, bringing joy to their supporters and marking a significant personal milestone for the political family.
Exciting Family News Shared on Social Media
"We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child," the couple announced in a social media post. "Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are looking forward to welcoming him in late July."
The announcement was accompanied by a cheerful message: "We're very happy to share some exciting news. Our family is growing!" This personal revelation comes as the Vance family continues to navigate the demands of public service while prioritizing their home life.
Growing Vance Family Welcomes New Addition
The 41-year-old Vice President and his 40-year-old wife already share three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. The upcoming birth will expand their family to six members, creating new dynamics in their household.
In their announcement, the couple expressed gratitude for their support system: "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."
Usha Vance's Background and Historical Context
Born and raised in San Diego, California, Usha met her future husband while both were students at Yale Law School in 2010. Their relationship began after joining a discussion group focused on social trends in America.
Before becoming Second Lady, Usha Vance had established herself as a successful attorney:
- She worked as a corporate litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson in San Francisco
- She served under prominent conservative judges including Chief Justice John Roberts
- She also worked for appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh
Usha Vance becomes the first Second Lady to have a child while holding the position. Historically, other presidential spouses have had children during their husbands' terms, most notably Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, who gave birth to daughter Esther in the White House in 1893.
Vance's Advocacy for Family Growth
The pregnancy announcement aligns with Vice President Vance's longstanding advocacy for higher birth rates in the United States. Since launching his political career in 2021, Vance has consistently expressed concern about declining birth rates across the nation.
During a 2025 March for Life speech, the Vice President emphasized: "I want more babies in the United States of America." This personal family expansion reflects the values he has publicly championed throughout his political career.
The Vance family's growing household represents both a personal joy and a reflection of the values the Vice President has promoted in his public policy advocacy. As they prepare to welcome their fourth child in late July, the family continues to balance their public responsibilities with their commitment to family life.
