JD Vance’s life changed dramatically this year when he became Vice President of the United States, but he and his wife, Usha, have worked hard to keep their three children out of the public spotlight. The couple rarely speaks about their kids, though they’ve recently shared a few personal details.
JD and Usha met at Yale Law School and married after graduation, honoring Usha’s Hindu heritage with a traditional ceremony alongside a Western wedding. Despite different religious backgrounds, their shared values have strengthened their bond. JD has often credited Usha as a guiding force in his life, both personally and spiritually.
The couple has three children—Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—and family has always been central to JD Vance, who has spoken openly about wanting to give his kids a better childhood than he had. Though his political career has caused him to miss some milestones, he’s shared heartfelt moments publicly, including birthday messages to his sons.
In December 2021, they welcomed their daughter Mirabel, calling her an “early Christmas present.” While the children remain largely private, the family has shared lighthearted moments, including how the kids enjoy JD’s Secret Service codename, “Bobcat,” which Usha revealed they find amusing.
Despite public life, JD and Usha remain committed to keeping their family grounded and their children growing up away from the spotlight.
