Who are JD Vance’s children? Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel Vance

As the vice presidential nominee travels the country campaigning about kids and families, this Ohio senator leaves behind a very young family of his own.

Republican JD Vance may be former President Donald Trump’s running mate in the upcoming election, but he is also a lawyer, an author, a war veteran, a husband and a proud ‘daddy.’

During his speech at the Republican National Convention on July 17, Vance said the accomplishment he was most proud of in his life was his family. “My most important American dream was becoming a good husband and a good dad,” he said. “I wanted to give my kids the things that I didn’t have when I was growing up.”

Vance called out to his kids during that speech, “If you’re watching, Daddy loves you very much, but get your butts in bed, it’s 10 o’clock.”

Here’s what we know about Vance and his wife and their three children, Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.

JD and Usha Chilukuri Vance

JD Vance, 40, and Usha Chilukuri, 38, were students at Yale University when they met and both graduated Yale Law School.

JD was born in Middletown, Ohio and is a graduate of Ohio State after serving in the United States Marine Corps and a veteran of the Iraq War. His career includes serving as a law clerk, a corporate lawyer, a venture capitalist and an author, all before becoming a United States senator from Ohio. He wrote a memoir about his childhood called Hillbilly Elegy that went on to become a movie.

Usha was born in San Diego to immigrant parents from Andhra Pradesh, India. Her career included serving as a law clerk for Judges Amul Thapar, Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts and working for law firm Munger, Tolles and Olsen LLP.

In 2014 JD and Usha married in Kentucky in an interfaith marriage ceremony, as she is a practicing Hindu and he is Christian. They share two sons — Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4 — and a daughter named Mirabel, 2.

Ewan Vance

Ewan Blaine Vance is the oldest son, born in June of 2017. In an interview with Megan Kelly in 2017, Usha described the surprise pregnancy and the anticipation of their first son.

Kelly later posted a congratulations to the parents about Ewan’s birth, with a pic of the happy family on her social media account.

Vivek Vance

Second son, Vivek, was born in February 2020, less than three years after Ewan.

During a speech on the Senate floor on Feb. 12, Vance used the moment to express an endearing moment of birthday wishes for Vivek, “I have a little guy named Vivek who was 3 years old yesterday but turned 4 today.”

Vance apologized for not being there before going on “But I want you to know that Daddy loves you very much. And I’m going to read this into the record because maybe you can watch it at home,” and then he proceeded to recite the 1990 Dr. Seuss Classic “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” inserting Vivek’s name into the last verse, according to The Hill.

Mirabel Vance

In December 2021, the couple welcomed their third child, and first daughter, Mirabel.

According to People, Vance shared the news in a social media post with a picture of the couple and baby from the hospital. It was captioned, “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.”
