The US will have a new second lady of the United States when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20. At that time Trump’s Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will be sworn in, making his wife, Usha Vance, SLOTUS.
Here is everything you need to know about this dynamic and accomplished lawyer, mother, and wife.
How many children do J.D. And Usha Vance Have?
Vogue describes Usha as “the political figure that has perhaps most intrigued conservative and liberal media alike.” She gave a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and this was the first time most of the electorate saw her in action.
Usha and J.D. have three children, two sons and a daughter: seven-year-old Ewan, four-year-old Vivek, and three-year-old Mirabel.
The family of five is in for a huge lifestyle shift now that J.D is VPOTUS. According to Usaha, the kids “have code names now. Our kids had a lot of fun with that” referring to the names given to them by Secret Service protection officers.
Usha Vance’s Family And Educational Background
Usha Vance was born Usha Bala Chilukuri, in 1986 in San Diego, California. Her parents are Telugu Indian immigrants in 1986. She has one sibling, a sister named Shreya, and Usha is a practicing Hindu.
Usha graduated from Mt. Carmel High School before graduating summa cum laude with a BA in history in 2007 from Yale University. After graduation Usha taught English as a second language in Guangzhou, China.
Later she attended Clare College as a Gates Cambridge Scholar before enrolling in Yale Law School where she met her future husband. While in law school, Usha was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.
How did Usha And J.D. Vance Meet?
Usha met J.D. after being introduced by famous “Tiger Mom” Amy Chua, author of the parenting book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, and a Yale Law School professor. Chua described the couple as “almost opposites of personality” and J.D. has called his wife his “Yale spirit guide.”
Here is Usha’s description of her courtship with J.D. in her own words: “I met J.D. in law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State, which he attended with the support of the GI Bill. We were friends first because, I mean, who wouldn’t want to be friends with J.D.? He was then, as now the most interesting person I knew, a working-class guy who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom to end up at Yale Law School, a tough marine who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a good time was playing with puppies and watching the movie Babe. The most determined person I knew with one overriding ambition: to become a husband and a father, and to build the kind of tight-knit family that he had longed for as a child.”
“When J.D. met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm. He wanted to know everything about me, where I came from, what my life had been like. Although he’s a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian diet and learned to cook food from my mother, Indian food. Before I knew it, he’d become an integral part of my family, a person I could not imagine living without.”
Usha Vance’s Career Path
Usha clerked for Brett Kavanaugh, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2018, before working for the San Francico-based law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson. Usha resigned from her job after her husband became the vice-presidential nominee saying she would “focus on caring for [her] family.”
The firm’s website indicated that Usha focused “on complex civil litigation and appeals in a wide variety of sectors, including higher education, local government, entertainment, and technology, including semiconductors.”
