Usha Vance Welcomes Fourth Child Despite Feeling ‘Complete’ with Three: Exclusive

Usha Vance says she and Vice President J.D. Vance chose to expand their family while he serves in office. She spoke about the decision in an exclusive interview with senior national correspondent Kate Snow.

Announcement and family details

The couple announced in January that they are expecting a fourth child. An excerpt of the interview aired on TODAY on March 30.

The Vances already have three children under nine. Their children are Ewan, 8; Vivek, 6; and Mirabel, 4.

How they decided to add a child

Vance said people had often asked if they would have a fourth child. She recalled growing up in a family of two and later wanting a third child.

She added that the family felt complete with three in many ways. Over time, however, she grew more excited about welcoming another child.

Historic context

Their pregnancy marks the first time a vice presidential family has had a baby while in office since 1870. That year Vice President Schuyler Colfax and his wife Ellen welcomed a son during Ulysses S. Grant’s administration.

Vance said she learned that historical fact after becoming pregnant and laughed about it.

Pregnancy life and adjustments

At 40, Vance said the pregnancy is going well and that it differs from prior pregnancies. She noted wardrobe and travel changes, and jokingly mentioned frequent carsickness now that she rides in the back seat.

She compared this pregnancy to earlier ones, saying she once favored sweatpants while working from home. Now she wears more formal clothing for public duties.

Public role and political questions

Vance also discussed her role as a trusted advisor to the vice president. She addressed questions about whether J.D. Vance might run for president in 2028 and other topics during the interview.
