“We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning,” Vance said.
“Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother.”
The Vice President praised the medical professionals involved in the birth, describing their support as a blessing to his family.
“The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Centre and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family,” he said.
The arrival of Alec Neel Vance marks the latest addition to the Vance family. JD Vance and Usha Vance, who married in 2014, previously had three children before welcoming their fourth child.
The announcement comes as the Vice President continues to balance his national responsibilities with family life.
Vance rose to prominence after the publication of his bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, before entering politics and later becoming Donald Trump’s running mate in the presidential election.
Since taking office as Vice President, Vance has remained a prominent figure in the administration while maintaining a public profile focused on both government affairs and family values.
The announcement prompted messages of congratulations from supporters, political figures and members of the public, with many sending well wishes to Vance, his wife and their growing family.
