After the ceremony, guards escorted J.D.'s children and his mother out of the U.S. Capitol. Each boy walked with a guard, while their sister was carried.
These moments at the inauguration reflect J.D.'s balance between public duties and personal life, which continues to fascinate the public. His wife, Usha, grew up in a middle-class community in San Diego, raised by immigrant parents from India, adding another dimension to the family's story.
In December 2021, J.D. shared the birth of his only daughter, Mirabel, calling her an "early Christmas present" and a cherished addition to the family.
Similarly, the birth of the couple's son, Ewan Blaine, was announced in June 2017, with journalist Megyn Kelly amplifying the news on social media.
The exact birth date of their second son, Vivek, has not been publicly shared, but in October 2024, J.D. recounted a heartwarming fishing trip with his four-year-old son in Michigan.
In one image, J.D. holds Vivek close by the fishing rods, while another shows the boy receiving a fish from his father. Other moments capture them on the dock, with Vivek interacting with fishing equipment alongside a companion from their trip.
The Vice President has also shared candid parenting anecdotes. Following the October 2024 vice presidential debate, Vance discussed memorable moments with one of his sons on the Ruthless Podcast.
He said, "We have such young kids—seven, four, and two—is I bring my son out with me or bring one of them out with me. And so, you know, we did the whole hotel thing. He got to watch a movie, he got to, like, eat a lot of junk food that mom wouldn't normally let him eat."

When one of the podcast hosts asked about one of J.D.'s son's sleeping positions, J.D. shared, "We have a king-sized bed, I'm on one little corner of it, and he still finds some way to sleep with, it's like, a foot in my neck last night. So, if I'm a little underslept this morning, it's because of that."
As J.D. begins his tenure as Vice President, their story continues to captivate the public, blending family life with his new national role.
