Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha welcomed a baby boy on Sunday. They named him Alec Neel Vance. He is the couple's fourth child. Their other children are Ewan, aged nine, Vivek, aged six, and Mirabel, aged four.
The birth is historically rare. No sitting US vice president has had a child born during their term for more than 150 years. Vance took office in 2025 under President Trump.
Usha Vance was visibly pregnant in recent months. She appeared in her video podcast, called "Storytime with the Second Lady", while expecting the baby.
