Usha Vance, spouse of Vice President JD Vance, has announced her pregnancy with the couple’s fourth child.
In a statement shared on X, the Second Lady revealed she is expecting a son in late July.
“Usha and the baby are doing well,” the statement posted Tuesday on the Second Lady’s social media account confirmed.
Mr. Vance and Mrs. Vance, 40, currently have three young children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel.
Born and raised in a working-class suburb of San Diego, California, Usha Vance (née Chilukuri) is the daughter of a mechanical engineer and a molecular biologist who immigrated to the United States from Andhra Pradesh, India.
She met JD Vance while both were students at Yale Law School in 2010, connecting through a discussion group focused on “social decline in white America.”
Prior to assuming the role of Second Lady, Usha Vance pursued a legal career, including a position as a corporate litigator at the firm Munger, Tolles & Olson in San Francisco. She also clerked for conservative judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court and then-appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh, prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Vance is the first Second Lady to give birth while her spouse is in office, although other First Ladies have had children during their husbands’ presidencies.
First Lady Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to daughter Esther in the White House in 1893, with a second child, Marion, later born outside of the White House.
JD Vance has been a prominent voice within the Trump administration advocating for increased birth rates in the United States.
“Let me say very simply: I want more babies in the United States of America,” he stated in 2025.
