Second Lady Usha Vance was seen gently holding her baby bump as she and her husband, Vice President JD Vance, touched down in Budapest on Tuesday. With her due date set for July, the couple is eagerly anticipating their new arrival.
Usha, 40, exuded maternal warmth as she accompanied Vice President Vance on a diplomatic visit to meet with Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.
According to reports from Reuters, the Vice President’s visit aims to bolster Prime Minister Orban’s campaign ahead of Sunday’s crucial election, in which polls suggest he might face defeat.
As Usha disembarked from Air Force Two, she looked stunning in a coordinated lilac-purple outfit, affectionately cradling her bump with JD by her side.
Her ensemble featured a chic purple satin midi skirt, believed to be a Veronica Beard design, with an original price tag of $448.
She paired the gorgeous skirt with a lilac-colored, short-sleeved cashmere sweater, wrapping the look together with black heels on her feet and a simple diamond bracelet around her wrist.
Once the couple arrived on the ground, they were welcomed by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, and Usha was given a bouquet of pink flowers.Â
The couple, who met at Yale Law School and have been married since 2014, announced in January that they are expecting a baby boy this summer.

They are already parents to sons, Ewan, eight, and Vivek, five, and a daughter, four-year-old Mirabel.
Weeks after their announcement, JD opened up about their baby name plans exclusively with the Daily Mail.
‘We’ve talked about a few names,’ the Vice President said at the time.Â
‘We’re working on it, but with all three of our kids, we actually didn’t settle on their names until after they were born, which is, I think, pretty unusual.’
‘Most people choose a name. Well, before the kid is born,’ Vance continued. ‘I think Usha and I have never just found a name where it’s like, “Alright, this is what we want to name our kid.”
‘And so we always wait to meet them and settle on the names from there.’
Usha’s pregnancy announcement came after a handful of others in the MAGA world announced their own pregnancies – such as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and United States Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Miller.
Leavitt is due with a girl in May, while Miller’s due date remains unknown to the public.Â

It has led many Trump fans to declare a ‘MAGA baby boom.’
Usha previously sat down with Meghan McCain for an extensive interview, where she spoke about suffering from anemia during her previous pregnancies.Â
Her trip to Hungary comes after she attended the White House Easter Egg Roll on Tuesday morning and read a book to kids in the crowd.
The Second Lady recently announced a new podcast advocating for childhood literacy.Â
‘Storytime With the Second Lady’ will feature prominent figures – like NASCAR legend Danica Patrick – alongside Usha as they read short stories and discuss their central themes in 15-minute episodes meant for young children.
She’s said the decline in literacy rates among children is ‘worrisome,’ adding that she wanted to do something to correct course.
‘If I was going to do anything, this would be the thing to focus on at this moment in time,’ she said.
It is not the first time the Second Lady has advocated for reading.
Usha promoted a program last year called the ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ where children were asked to read 12 books over the school break. Those who completed the challenge would receive a small prize and certificate, according to the competition rules.
