Our family is growing: Usha Vance announces she is pregnant with fourth child

US Second Lady Usha Vance announces pregnancy with fourth child, a boy due in July, making history as first VP's wife to have a baby while in office.

"We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. - J.D. Vance"

Washington, Jan 21

Usha Vance, the wife of US Vice President J.D. Vance, has 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, drawing congratulatory messages from across the political spectrum.

"We're very happy to share some exciting news," Usha Vance wrote on X. "Our family is growing!"

Second Lady Usha Vance also shared a statement from her husband, Vice President J.D. Vance, 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 from Vance reads. "Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are looking forward to welcoming him in late July."

The Vice President further expressed gratitude to medical professionals supporting the family during this period.

"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."

The announcement makes Usha Vance the first Second Lady in US history to have a baby while her husband is in office, though several First Ladies in the past have given birth during their spouses' presidencies.

The news has added a personal dimension to the early months of the Vance vice presidency, highlighting the balance between public service and family life.

J.D. Vance and Usha Vance (40) currently have three children. The couple are parents to two sons Ewan and Vivek and one daughter Mirabel, and 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, while her mother is a molecular biologist.

She met J.D. Vance at Yale Law School in 2010, where they joined a discussion group focussed on "social decline in white America."

Before becoming Second Lady, Usha Vance built a distinguished legal career, working as a corporate litigator at Munger Tolles & Olson in San Francisco. She also served as a law clerk for Chief Justice John Roberts on the US Supreme Court and for Brett Kavanaugh on the US Court of Appeals, prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court.

Happy for them personally. But I do hope the focus remains on their public service duties. The article mentions her parents are from Andhra Pradesh – always makes me proud to see our people achieving great heights abroad.

A baby boy! How exciting. Wishing them health and happiness. It must be quite a challenge to be pregnant while in such a visible role, but she seems very capable.

While I wish the family well, I find the mention of that law school discussion group topic – "social decline in white America" – a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully, their perspectives have evolved. Nonetheless, congrats on the new addition.

Her background is so inspiring! Parents from Andhra, both highly educated professionals. She clerked for Chief Justice Roberts! This is the kind of Indian-American success story we love to see. All the best for baby number four! 💙
