Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance welcomed their fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday morning. Usha Vance gave birth to the baby boy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
"We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning," Vance announced on X, formerly Twitter. "Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother."
The couple, who have been married since 2014, announced they were expecting their fourth child in January. They are also parents to Ewan, 9; Vivek, 6; and Mirabel, 4.
Vice President Vance, 41, and Usha Vance, 40, met while studying at Yale Law School. The vice president has previously spoken about his desire to encourage more births in the United States, advocating for policies that make it easier for families to afford children. He made these remarks at the March for Life event in Washington last year, stating, "it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are."
