JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, have offered a sweet glimpse at their newborn son as they adjust to life as a family of six.
The US Vice President and Second Lady shared the first photographs of baby Alec Neel Vance in a joint Instagram post on Friday, five days after announcing his arrival.
“Thank you for all the good wishes as we settle into life as a family of six,” the couple wrote alongside a blue heart emoji.
“Meet Alec – and enjoy these attempts at taking a decent family photo with four kids!”
The photographs captured the realities of gathering four young children for a family portrait, with Alec’s older siblings displaying their individual personalities as the family posed together on a cream couch.
JD looked every inch the proud father as he cradled the newborn in his arms while wearing a pale grey blazer, white shirt and blue trousers. Usha sat beside him in an elegant white dress, with sons Ewan and Vivek and daughter Mirabel gathered around their new brother.
