J.D. Vance and Wife Usha’s Fourth Pregnancy Has ‘Put Everything Into Perspective’ Amid Difficult Year

Vice President J.D. Vance and wife Usha are expecting their fourth child — and political insiders say the unexpected news has saved the couple’s “tough” marriage.

The second lady’s social media account recently shared that she and her hubby are “looking forward” to the arrival of a son in late July.

The Vances met while attending Yale Law School, married in 2014 and are parents to Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 4.

“J.D. and Usha are soul mates and true partners in everything they do — and they’re so devoted to their children,” an insider confides. “But being thrust into the global spotlight has been tough on their marriage. This pregnancy has helped them refocus on what’s most important — family. It’s put everything into perspective.”

As the National Enquirer has reported, the pair’s marriage was scrutinized after Erika Kirk — whose husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in September — shared an emotional hug with the 41-year-old politician at the opening night address for a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Oct. 29.

Spywitnesses had characterized the exchange as “flirty” — but the brave widow, 37, dismissed the mean-spirted rumors by saying, “Oh my gosh, please! Anyone who knows me knows I hug … And those hating on a hug probably need a hug themselves. I’ll give you a free hug anytime. My love language is touch.”

Then eagle-eyed observers noted on Nov. 19 that Usha wasn’t wearing her wedding band while visiting the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C., with first lady Melania Trump, triggering more talk of trouble between the veep and his spouse.

A spokesperson for the 40-year-old lawyer told People that Usha is “a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.”

President Donald Trump’s second in command shared with NBC News that his and Usha’s marriage is “as strong as it’s ever been,” but has confessed his new high-profile role has been “difficult” for his family.

Normally private Usha recently opened up about her life, admitting to USA Today, “There are things that I miss and things that I’m excited to have moved on from.”

The insider says, “Nothing gives the Vances more joy than family. This pregnancy is a blessing!”
