Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, announced the birth of their fourth child, a boy named Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday. This historic event marks the first time in over 150 years that a sitting vice president has had a child born during their term.
A Growing Family
The new addition joins three older siblings: nine-year-old Ewan, six-year-old Vivek, and four-year-old Mirabel. In a joint social media announcement, the couple confirmed that both mother and baby are in good health and expressed gratitude to the military medical personnel and the White House medical unit for their care.
The birth aligns with the vice president’s public platform, as he has frequently spoken out about declining American birth rates and advocated for larger families. The couple previously shared that conversations regarding family size were influenced by their faith and values.
