US Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance are expecting their fourth child, a boy, in late July, the couple announced in a joint statement on Tuesday.
“We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July,” the statement said.
“During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful to the military doctors who take excellent care of our family, as well as to the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children,” it added.

The White House quickly issued a congratulatory message, describing the current administration as “the most pro-family in American history.”

It’s also worth noting that Vice President Vance has repeatedly raised concerns about declining birth rates in the US. “I want more babies in the United States of America,” he stated during a March for Life speech in 2025.
Vance and Usha have three children—Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 4. The family visited India in April last year, touring Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra.
Usha’s parents, Krish and Lakshmi Chilukuri, emigrated from India to the US in the late 1970s. Krish is a lecturer at San Diego State University, while Lakshmi is a teaching professor at the University of California.
