J.D. Vance may be headed to the White House, but at home, he’s just “Dad.”

As Donald Trump’s vice president, the Hillbilly Elegy author and former Ohio senator is making headlines — but his three young children are keeping him grounded.

Although Vance does not share much about his sons and daughter but mentioned his middle child on the Senate floor in February 2024.

Vance and his wife Usha are proud parents to Ewan (7), Vivek (4), and Mirabel (2) — a trio they’ve mostly kept out of the public eye. But sweet glimpses into their family life have surfaced, especially as Vance takes on a larger political role.

“Daddy Loves You Very Much” — Vance Gets Emotional Over Son’s Birthday on Senate Floor

In a rare and heartwarming moment, Vance turned heads in February 2024 when he paused a Senate debate over Ukraine to wish his middle child, Vivek, a happy birthday.

“I want you to know that Daddy loves you very much,” he said into the microphone — before reading Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! into the official Congressional record.

He even swapped in his son’s name for the final verse.

The touching moment lasted six minutes — and reminded the nation that even future VPs have dad duties.

“Our First Girl” — Meet Baby Mirabel

The couple’s youngest, Mirabel Rose, arrived just before Christmas 2021.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Vance shared a candid snap from the hospital, writing:

“We were blessed with an early Christmas present this year… Mama and baby both doing great, and we’re feeling very grateful this Christmas season.”

A Private Family in the Public Eye

While the Vances have mostly shielded their children from media attention, their firstborn, Ewan, made his quiet debut back in 2017. TV host Megyn Kelly even congratulated the new parents with a sweet photo caption:

“He’s beautiful.”

Now, with the family set to make the move to Washington D.C., many are wondering: Will the kids stay out of the spotlight — or become America’s newest little darlings?

Either way, one thing’s for sure: J.D. Vance isn’t just preparing for life as VP — he’s got three little ones who already call him boss.
