Usha Vance has joyfully announced that she is expecting a baby boy.

“We’re thrilled to share that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. Both Usha and the baby are doing well, and our family eagerly anticipates his arrival in late July,” shared the Second Lady’s office on X.

Vice President JD Vance, aged 41, and Usha, aged 40, expressed their gratitude towards the military doctors who provide exceptional care for their family.

Usha marks a historic moment as the first Second Lady to be pregnant while in office, and she will become the first mother in the White House since Jacqueline Kennedy gave birth to Patrick Bouvier Kennedy in 1963.

The couple, who met during their time at Yale Law School, tied the knot in 2014 and are parents to two sons, Ewan, 8, and Vivek, 5, as well as a daughter, four-year-old Mirabel.

The announcement comes amid vicious rumors about the couple’s marriage after Usha was spotted without her wedding ring on several public outings.

A spokesman for Usha explained to the Daily Mail last month that she is ‘a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.’

Vance, in an interview on December 4 told NBC News, that ‘we kind of get a kick out of’ the rumors.

‘With anything in life, you take the good with the bad,’ he added. ‘You accept that there are some sacrifices and there are some very good things that come along with it, too. 

The vice president’s wife rarely grants interviews and typically avoids the media spotlight.

She and Vance met in 2013 when they attended the same classes at Yale and the future vice president was so smitten that he told her that he loved her after their first date.

In his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, Vance referred to Usha as his ‘Yale spirit guide,’ as he had come from a working-class background and she is the daughter of Indian immigrant academics – able to help him navigate the elite Ivy League culture.

Vance has described his feelings during their courtship as ‘overwhelming’. The couple’s friends and even their professor noted that he was visibly ‘lovesick.’

Vance and Usha had two wedding ceremonies in the Christian and Hindu traditions.

On June 14, 2014, they were married in a rustic, outdoor ceremony in Kentucky where the Vance family comes from.

Shortly afterwards they held a traditional Hindu ceremony to honor Usha’s heritage where the pair wore bright, Indian garb.

Vance sparked controversy in October when he told an event that he hoped his wife will convert to Christianity at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi. 

The vice president, who converted to Catholicism five years into his marriage, answered a student’s question, stating: ‘Do I hope that eventually she is somehow moved by what I was moved by in church? Yeah, honestly, I do wish that, because I believe in the Christian Gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.’

He added: ‘But if she doesn’t, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn’t cause a problem for me.’ 

Vance’s comments sparked a backlash, including from the Hindu American Foundation, which cited a history of Christians attempting to convert Hindus.

At the same event, Vance hugged the late Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika. She placed her hand on the back of his head and he held her waist.

The intimate clinch sparked another wave of gossip about his marriage to Usha.
