On January 20, 2025, all eyes were on Donald Trump as he was inaugurated for his second term as President of the United States. But in the midst of the important ceremony, a surprising star caught everyone’s attention: J.D. Vance’s adorable two-year-old daughter, Mirabel. With her cute innocence and playful spirit, she became the highlight of the day that everyone was buzzing about.
J.D. Vance, who was just sworn in as the new Vice President, stood proudly with his wife, Usha, and their three kids—Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—during the event. The family looked amazing together, showing their love and support for J.D. on this significant day. Dressed in a sharp dark blue suit, J.D. took the oath of office with his hand on the Bible that Usha held while she gently held little Mirabel. Their sons, Ewan, 7, and Vivek, 4, wore matching blue suits and ties, making the whole scene look even more elegant.
At the formal event, it was a sweet moment from Mirabel that really caught everyone’s attention. She was sitting in her mom’s arms, happily sucking her thumb, with her little fingers wrapped in fun bandages. This cute picture of a child’s innocence stood out among all the fancy stuff happening around. Her bandaged fingers, something many toddlers do, reminded everyone of the simple joys and the funny chaos of having little kids. Social media went wild with love for her, with one person saying, “I think everyone can agree that JD Vance’s daughter sucking her thumb with those kid bandages is just too cute!” Another person joked, “JD Vance’s daughter putting on band-aids right before a big event is such a classic toddler move.”
The Vance family didn’t stop there in tugging at heartstrings. A separate photo captured J.D. crouching to speak to his two sons, one of whom clutched a stuffed bear while leaning on a railing. The image highlighted the genuine, down-to-earth connection between father and children, even in the midst of one of the most significant days of his career. For many, it was a touching reminder that even monumental events can’t overshadow the comforts of childhood.
Usha Vance, the new Second Lady, caught everyone’s eye with her elegance and calm demeanor. She wore a beautiful custom cashmere coat and a tea-length dress in a lovely shade of pink by Oscar de la Renta, which made her look really classy. People admired her outfit for being both sophisticated and charming in a subtle way. But what really touched the hearts of many was her personal story and her role in her family. Growing up in San Diego as the daughter of Indian immigrants, Usha’s position as the first Indian American Second Lady is a big deal. Throughout the day, it was clear how much she supports her husband and their kids.
J.D. and Usha started their adventure together in 2010 when they first met in law school. They tied the knot in 2014 and have created a life filled with love and strong family values. The couple is proud parents to three kids: Ewan, who was born in 2017; Vivek, who arrived in 2020; and their daughter Mirabel, who was born in December 2021. J.D. has shared some special moments from their family life, like a touching Instagram post where he announced Mirabel’s arrival. He wrote, “We were blessed with an early Christmas present this year. Everyone please meet Mirabel Rose Vance, our first girl. Mama and baby both doing great, and we’re feeling very grateful this Christmas season.”

The Vance kids don’t often get a lot of attention, but they have had some special moments in the spotlight. In February 2024, J.D. celebrated his son Vivek’s fourth birthday in a really sweet way. Since he couldn’t be there for Vivek’s birthday dinner, he decided to read the book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss on the Senate floor. He dedicated this special moment to his son, saying, “I’m sorry that I can’t be with you for your birthday dinner. But I want you to know that Daddy loves you very much. And I’m going to read this into the record because maybe you can watch it at home.”
During the inauguration, many people noticed how Mirabel’s bandaged fingers and her happy attitude stood out against the serious political events happening around her. One viewer even said, “J.D. Vance has the CUTEST daughter. She is absolutely adorable.” This was a touching reminder that even during important political moments, the love and innocence of family are what truly matter.
