J.D. Vance’s family stole the spotlight at the inauguration, with the newly elected vice president’s adorable children capturing hearts and lighting up social media.

Images of James David (J.D.) Vance and his family—his wife Usha and their three children, Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—have captured the hearts of internet users across the nation. The snapshots, taken at the inauguration of the newly elected vice president on January 20, showcase the family in all their warmth and charm. In one particularly heartwarming moment, J.D., dressed in a dark blue suit, holds his daughter Mirabel, who looks simply adorable in a cream-colored outfit complete with tights and shoes, as he gestures to the crowd. Usha, looking radiant in a soft pink dress and gray boots, walks beside him, holding the hands of their sons, Vivek and Ewan, both dressed in matching blue suits.
The family’s close bond shines through in other poignant moments as well. In one shot, Usha joyfully stands by J.D.’s side, cradling Mirabel as he raises his hand during the swearing-in ceremony, while President Donald Trump looks on in the background. The images beautifully highlight the Vance family’s unity and love, making a lasting impression on all who saw them.

In another close-up, J.D. lovingly holds his daughter Mirabel, who is peacefully sucking her thumb. Her bangs softly frame her face, while the rest of her fingers are playfully covered in vibrant colors, adding a charming and whimsical touch to the moment. The scene radiates warmth and innocence, perfectly capturing the sweet, tender bond between father and daughter.

In another heartwarming photo, J.D. is seen stooping down to chat with his two sons, Vivek and Ewan. One of the boys leans against a railing, clutching his beloved pet bear. The image captures a sweet moment of fatherly connection, highlighting the family’s close bond.
Across social media platforms like Facebook and X, netizens couldn’t get enough of the Vance family’s charming photos. One user gushed, “What a lovely family. Children are too adorable to put into words.” Another remarked, “Such a beautiful family!” While a third echoed, “J.D. Vance has the CUTEST daughter. She is so cute 😍 [sic].” Fans also noted how much his little girl resembled him, with one commenting, “Vance’s little daughter looks just like him. Adorable.”
The Vance family’s photos were hailed as “lovely” by many, with another user praising the children’s beauty. One viewer, seeing how tired the kids looked after such a busy day, couldn’t help but feel sympathy for them but still found them undeniably adorable. Another offered genuine well-wishes to the family, sending blessings for J.D.’s wife and children. Many were delighted to see a young family in the White House, with one commenter pointing out how the Vances’ friendly and relatable demeanor added to their appeal—especially in moments like the youngest son holding his teddy bear or the daughter finding comfort in her parents’ arms. After the ceremony, guards escorted J.D.’s mother and children out of the U.S. Capitol, with each brother walking alongside a guard while their sister was carried.
These touching moments from the inauguration highlight J.D.’s ability to balance his personal life with his professional responsibilities, which has always endeared him to the public. The story of his family is further enriched by the fact that his wife, Usha, grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in San Diego, raised by Indian immigrant parents. When J.D. shared the news of their daughter Mirabel’s birth in December 2021, he lovingly called her an “early Christmas present.” Similarly, journalist Megyn Kelly celebrated the birth of their son Ewan Blaine in June 2017 via social media.
While the exact date of their second son Vivek’s birth remains private, J.D. shared a heartwarming story in October 2024 of a fishing trip in Michigan with his four-year-old son, further showcasing the deep bond he shares with his children.

In one picture, J.D. lovingly holds Vivek near the fishing poles, while another captures the sweet moment of the young boy receiving a fish from his dad. Additional shots show them on the dock, where Vivek is seen eagerly handling the fishing gear with a travel buddy, adding to the sense of adventure and bonding.
J.D. has also opened up about his experiences as a father, sharing special moments with his sons on the Ruthless Podcast. Reflecting on life with young children, he said, “We have such young children—seven, four, and two—is it me or one of them that I take out with me?” He went on to describe a particularly memorable night after the October 2024 vice presidential debate: “So we did the entire hotel thing, you know. In addition to watching a movie, he was able to consume a lot of junk food that his mother would not typically permit him to consume.” J.D. laughed as he recalled the sleep situation: “We have a king-sized bed, and 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. That’s why I could be a little sleep deprived this morning.” His candidness and humor about fatherhood made the moment even more relatable.
As J.D. embarks on his new role as vice president, his ability to balance the weight of national responsibility with the joys and challenges of family life continues to captivate the public. His journey, as a father and a public servant, remains a source of inspiration and admiration for many.
