The Vance family maintains a low profile, with J.D. and Usha preferring to keep their children out of the public eye. The couple met at Yale Law School and married in 2014, since having three children.

J.D. Vance has come under fire due to Usha’s Indian heritage. Far-right commentators have expressed skepticism about J.D. Vance’s stance on immigration, insinuating that his wife’s ethnicity might influence his policies. Conservative pundit Stew Peters went as far as to suggest an “Indian coup” was taking place in the United States, pointing to Usha Vance’s ethnicity as evidence.

White supremacist Nick Fuentes also attacked the Vance’s for their interracial marriage.

The ethnicity of someone’s partner of course has no bearing on anything but is another reminder of the state the Rpeublican party finds itself in.

Ewan Vance

The eldest of the Vance children, Ewan, was born in June 2017. His arrival marked the beginning of J.D. and Usha’s journey into parenthood. The couple received warm congratulations from public figures like podcast host Megyn Kelly upon Ewan’s birth.

Vivek Vance

The Vances’ second child, Vivek, was born in 2020. J.D. Vance made headlines when he celebrated Vivek’s fourth birthday on the Senate floor in 2024. Despite missing the family celebration due to political commitments, Vance took a moment to read from Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” as a part of a filibuster against increased funding for Ukraine.

Mirabel Vance

The youngest member of the Vance family, Mirabel, was born in December 2021. Vance shared the news on social media along with photos from the hospital.
