JD Vance and his wife Usha welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday morning. The Vice President confirmed that both mother and newborn are doing well.
The couple, who married in 2014, now has four children together. Vance previously detailed his family life in his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," which explored his upbringing in Ohio and Kentucky before his rise through Yale Law School and into politics.
The birth comes as Vance settles into his role as Vice President following the 2024 election cycle. His wife Usha, a lawyer and Notre Dame graduate, has maintained a relatively private presence despite her husband's prominent political position. The family has been based in Ohio, Vance's home state, where he represented the state in the U.S. Senate before his recent elevation to the vice presidency.
The announcement reflects a personal milestone for the Vance family during a period of significant professional transition and public scrutiny.
