Usha Vance, the wife of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, announced that she is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child, with the baby due in July.
The announcement was made through a post on social media platform X and drew congratulatory messages from across the political spectrum.
“We’re very happy to share some exciting news,” Usha Vance wrote. “Our family is growing!”
The Second Lady also shared a statement from her husband confirming the news and revealing that the couple is expecting a baby boy.
“We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy,” the statement read. “Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are looking forward to welcoming him in late July.”
The Vice President also expressed gratitude to the medical professionals supporting the family.

The announcement makes Usha Vance the first Second Lady in U.S. history to give birth while her husband is in office, though several First Ladies in the past have had children during their spouses’ presidencies.
The news adds a personal dimension to the early months of the Vance vice presidency, highlighting the balance between public service and family life.
J.D. and Usha Vance currently have three children—two sons, Ewan and Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel. The arrival of their fourth child will further expand their young family.
Usha Vance was born and raised in the working-class suburbs of San Diego, California, to parents who emigrated from Andhra Pradesh, India. Her father is a mechanical engineer and her mother a molecular biologist.
She met J.D. Vance at Yale Law School in 2010, where they joined a discussion group focused on social decline in white America.
Before becoming Second Lady, Usha Vance built a distinguished legal career as a corporate litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson in San Francisco. She also served as a law clerk for John Roberts on the U.S. Supreme Court and for Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals, prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court.
