US Vice-President JD Vance has announced the birth of his fourth child, a boy, with his wife Usha Vance.
Alec Neel Vance was born on Sunday morning, the vice-president said in a statement on social media.
“Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” he added.
Vance thanked the military doctors and staff at Walter Reed Medical Center.
The pair have three other children: Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.
Usha Vance was born and raised in the working-class suburbs of San Diego, California, to a mechanical engineer father and a molecular biologist mother who had moved to the US from India.
She met JD Vance as a student at Yale Law School in 2010, when they joined a discussion group on “social decline in white America”.
