Second Lady Usha Vance Pregnant With Son Due in July

Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced in a social media post on Jan. 20, 2026, that Usha Vance is pregnant with a son due in late July 2026 and that "Usha and the baby are doing well," the post said.

The announcement comes as JD Vance, 41, who launched his political career in 2021 advocating for higher U.S. birth rates, has continued that message as vice president and said in a March for Life speech in 2025, "I want more babies in the United States of America," records show.

The White House reposted the Vances' announcement on Jan. 20, 2026, and the official repost called the Trump administration "the most pro-family administration in history," the White House said.

If the pregnancy proceeds to term, Usha Vance would be the first sitting second lady to have a baby while in office and the new child will join the couple's three children — eight-year-old Ewan, five-year-old Vivek and three-year-old Mirabel — the family said.

Usha Vance is due in late July 2026, the couple are expected to lead the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on Feb. 6, 2026, and the White House press office did not immediately say whether her official duties will change, officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
