美国副总统 J.D. 万斯于周日对外宣布，第二夫人乌莎・万斯顺利诞下两人的第四个孩子，是一名男婴，取名亚历克・尼尔・万斯。
万斯表示，乌莎与新生儿身体状况良好、一切平安，同时感谢沃尔特里德国家军事医学中心以及白宫医疗小组的全体医护人员。
副总统在社交平台 X 上发文：“我们欣喜地向大家宣布，小儿子亚历克・尼尔・万斯于今日清晨降生。乌莎和宝宝都健康开心，家里三个哥哥姐姐见到弟弟都万分欢喜。”
万斯与妻子乌莎此前已有三名子女，分别是尤恩、维韦克与米拉贝尔。
今年 1 月，夫妻俩就在社交平台公布了怀第四胎的喜讯，配文写道：“我们的家庭又要添新成员啦!” 二人相识于耶鲁大学法学院，2014 年正式成婚。
万斯常在公开场合谈及自己的家庭与婚姻，也是特朗普政府内部大力呼吁民众多生育子女的核心人物。
去年，万斯刚就任副总统不久，就在华盛顿一年一度的生命大游行(反堕胎集会)活动上发表演讲称：“我希望美国能有更多新生儿，希望国内有更多幸福的孩童，也期待年轻男女愿意迎接新生命、用心抚养孩子长大。”
他当时还补充道：“政府的职责，就是减轻年轻父母生养孩子的经济负担，让他们更轻松地迎接这份上天赐予的礼物，这也是我们今天齐聚生命大游行的共同心愿。”
今年 6 月，乌莎・万斯做客美国广播公司黄金档直播节目，接受主持人琳赛・戴维斯深度专访。采访中，她谈及丈夫未来的政治发展，也分享了自己接触特朗普总统后最意外的感受。
当被问到是否希望丈夫有朝一日竞选总统时，乌莎表示：“我本身没有强烈的政治野心，我只希望他过得舒心，做真正有价值的事业。无论他选择哪条路，我都会全力支持。”
谈及近距离接触特朗普后的最大改观，第二夫人称，她完全没想到特朗普富有幽默感，对待孩童格外温柔体贴。
“他十分风趣，对自己的孩子、普通家庭和小朋友都充满温情。能看得出来，他真心在意孩子们的生活与遭遇。”
Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance welcome 4th child
Vice President JD Vance announced on Sunday that second lady Usha Vance gave birth to the couple's fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance.
Vance said both Usha and the baby "are happy and healthy" and thanked the medical teams at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit.
"We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother," the vice president wrote on X.
JD and Usha Vance share three other young children: Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.
The couple announced they were expecting their fourth child in January, writingon social media, "Our family is growing!" They met while studying at Yale Law School and got married in 2014.
The vice president often speaks about his family and marriage, and has been a leading voice in the Trump administration's efforts to encourage the public to have more children.
"I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more happy children in our country, and I want -- and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them," Vance said in one of the first speeches of his vice presidential term at the March for Life event in Washington last year.
"And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are here at the March for Life," he added at the time.
In June, Usha Vance sat down with ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis for a wide-ranging interview. The second lady shared her thoughts about her husband's political future and the biggest surprise she learned about President Donald Trump.
When asked whether she would like to see JD Vance as president one day, Usha Vance said, "I am not a particularly politically ambitious person; I would like to see him happy. I would like to see him making contributions that matter and whatever form that takes is a form that I'll be supportive of," she said.
The second lady said that the biggest surprise to her, as she's gotten to know President Trump, has been his sense of humor and his gentleness toward children.
"He has a really good sense of humor and has a sort of gentleness towards his children, towards other people's families and children," she said. "It shows a lot of caring about what they're going through and what is happening in their lives."
