VP JD Vance and wife Usha welcome baby boy, first for sitting VP in 150+ years

Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, have announced the birth of their fourth child, a baby boy named Alec Neel Vance. The newest addition to their family was born on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Mrs. Vance and the baby are reported to be healthy, and the couple's other children, Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel, are excited to welcome their new brother.

This birth marks a historic occasion, as Alec Neel Vance is the first child born to a sitting U.S. Vice President in over 150 years. The last time a Vice President welcomed a child while in office was in 1870, when Schuyler Colfax and his second wife, Ellen Wade, had a son.

The Vice President and his wife released a statement expressing their excitement and gratitude to the medical staff. Vance, who has previously voiced his advocacy for Americans to have more children, now has a family of six.
