Second Lady Usha Vance has given birth to a baby boy.

Vice President JD Vance announced Sunday that she had given birth to her son, Alec Neel Vance. She is the first second lady to give birth while her husband is in office. The couple already has three young children: Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and Mirabel, 4.

“Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” Vance wrote on X.

In Vance’s book “Communion,” released June 16, the vice president recalled how he and his wife accompanied Erika Kirk on Air Force Two in September last year to escort her husband’s body, Charlie Kirk, to Arizona for burial.

The vice president said the experience helped shift Usha Vance’s mind about growing their family.

“For years I had asked Usha to have another baby, and for years she had told me she was done — especially now that public service had elevated us into the national spotlight,” he wrote. “But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. One life was stolen from us, but another was given.”
