JD and Usha Vance often discuss their family life. As the pair gears up for a trip to Greenland, we wanted to have a look at their relationship and the three children that they share: Ewan, Vivek, and Maribel.
JD and Usha Vance were elected as Vice President and Second Lady of the country last November. All through the election, the two made their family values one of their main priorities.
“My most important American dream was becoming a good husband and a good dad,” said Vance in a speech at last year's Republican National Convention. “I wanted to give my kids the things I didn’t have when I was growing up.”
Usha has discussed some of the biggest changes that their family has experienced ever since they joined politics. “We have code names now. Our kids had a lot of fun with that,” she said, per Deseret News. Here's what we know about the couple's three kids:
Ewan Blaine Vance, 7
Ewan is their eldest son and was born in 2017. While the couple has worked hard to keep their kids out of the spotlight, Usha revealed that they learned of Ewan's gender early on in the pregnancy.
“We found out right away because JD, there was no way he could wait,” she said to NBC News.
Vivek Vance, 4
Vivek was born in 2020 and has been featured more on social media since his father acquired a larger spotlight in the media. In an Instagram post from October, JD shared a photo of himself and Vivek on a fishing trip. The pair looked happy as they enjoyed a boat ride and held on to the fish they caught.
"Great day fishing the Kalamazoo River in Saugatuck with my four-year-old son Vivek this morning. We always enjoy our visits to Michigan, be back soon!" he captioned the post.
Maribel Vance, 2
In 2021, the couple welcomed Maribel, their only daughter. JD shared the news on an Instagram post, writing, "We were blessed with an early Christmas present this year."
"Everyone please meet Mirabel Rose Vance, our first girl. Mama and baby both doing great, and we’re feeling very grateful this Christmas season."
At Trump's Presidential inauguration, Maribel made many headlines due to her adorable outfit and the fact that she was sucking her thumb while her father was sworn into office.
