U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife, the Second Lady, Usha Vance, have welcomed their fourth baby. Little Alec Neel Vance is the newest addition to the family, joining his siblings Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel, who joyfully celebrated the arrival of their new playmate.
The announcement, made by the vice president himself, was accompanied by words of gratitude for the doctors and staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit, who made sure everything went as smoothly as possible so the family could now celebrate the blessing of having another baby at home.

Their followers are hoping to soon see a photo of the entire family, now a party of six.
A historic moment
While joy fills this family’s hearts, little Alec and his mom have already become part of U.S. history. For the first time in 150 years, a Second Lady has given birth while her husband is serving as vice president.
