US Vice President JD Vance's family welcomes fourth child

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance have welcomed their fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance, who was born on Sunday. The couple announced the birth in a statement posted on X, expressing their happiness and gratitude. "Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our children are overjoyed to meet their baby brother," the statement read. The Vances also extended special thanks to military doctors for their care.

This marks a significant personal milestone for the Vice President, and it is reportedly the first time in over 150 years that a sitting U.S. Vice President has become a father. The last instance was in 1870 when Ellen Wade, second wife of Vice President Schuyler Colfax, gave birth to a son.

Beyond the new addition to their family, the Vances are reportedly planning a move to a secondary residence in Middleburg, Virginia. While the Second Family officially resides at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C., reports indicate they are leasing Wolver Hill Farm in Middleburg. This potential move has reportedly stirred some apprehension among local residents, who are concerned about the increased security presence and disruption that might accompany the Vice President and his family, who are under constant protection.
