Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, has publicly announced her pregnancy with the couple’s fourth child. The Second Lady revealed through her official social media account that she expects to welcome a baby boy in late July, confirming both she and the unborn child are in excellent health.
The 40-year-old lawyer and mother of three currently parents Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel with the Vice President. Her background reflects a remarkable American story: raised in San Diego’s working-class suburbs by immigrant parents from India—her father a mechanical engineer and her mother a molecular biologist.
The Vance partnership began at Yale Law School in 2010 where they connected through a discussion group examining social decline in white America. Prior to assuming her role as Second Lady, Usha Vance established a distinguished legal career as a corporate litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson in San Francisco. Her professional trajectory includes clerkships with conservative legal figures Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his appellate court tenure.
This pregnancy marks a historical moment as Usha Vance becomes the first Second Lady to bear a child while serving in this capacity. The announcement carries particular significance given Vice President Vance’s vocal advocacy for increased birth rates in the United States, having publicly stated in 2025: ‘Let me say very simply: I want more babies in the United States of America.’
The White House has yet to release an official statement regarding the pregnancy, though historical precedent exists for presidential family expansions during terms of office. First Lady Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to daughter Esther in the White House in 1893, followed by another child born outside the executive residence.
