The Second Family welcomed a baby boy on Sunday. Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced the birth of Alec Neel Vance, their fourth child.
“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” the couple shared on social media. “The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family.”
The birth marks the first baby born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years.
President Trump celebrated the Second Family on Truth Social, sharing an image of the baby. “Congratulations! A perfect baby boy for the wonderful Vance family,” he wrote.
Following the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Usha told “CBS News Sunday Morning” that Erika Kirk’s regret of only having two children with Charlie struck her husband.
“I think it really heightened JD’s sense that he’d been talking about this for a while, this sense that there was this possibility of having another kid whom he could love as much as the three that we had,” Usha said. “It really did crystallize for [him], that sense that if you could have that other child, then you would have nothing to regret. And if we couldn’t have that other child, then we were very happy with the children that we had. So it was very powerful what she said about her own family and certainly very moving to both of us.”
