JD Vance’s most recent book came out a few months ago. The book is supposed to be about his conversion to Catholicism, but it’s apparently more of a general memoir. Vance also included some background on why his wife Usha agreed to have another child. Usha is currently pregnant with their fourth child – she’s due in July – and they announced this fourth pregnancy just a few months after Black Widow Erika Kirk ran her fingers through JD Vance’s hair on stage at some public event. This pregnancy is Usha guarding her turf, it’s abundantly clear (to me, at least). Well, in JD’s book, he actually credits Erika Kirk for convincing Usha to have another child. LMAO. God, these people. It was left to Usha to try to explain, in a new interview, why Erika Kirk didn’t really convince her to have another child.
Usha Vance is clarifying how Erika Kirk impacted her and husband JD Vance’s decision to have more kids. While sitting down for the Sunday, June 14, episode of CBS Sunday Morning, the second couple — currently expecting their fourth baby, due in July — clarified how the September 2025 death of right-wing political commentator Charlie Kirk and a conversation Usha had with his widow, Erika, influenced their latest family expansion.
The vice president, 41, first revealed that the words of Charlie’s wife Erika, 37, played a role in Usha’s decision to have another child in a newly published excerpt of his upcoming book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. The second lady — who shares three children, Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and Mirabel, 4, with JD — shared more insight while sitting down with the weekend news program.
“I think it really heightened JD’s sense that he’d been talking about this for a while, this sense that there was this possibility of having another kid whom he could love as much as the three that we had,” Usha, 40, told CBS Sunday Morning of Erika’s perspective, which JD writes in his new book includes regret over “having only two kids with Charlie.”
Looking to her husband, Usha continued, “It really did crystallize for you, that sense that if you could have that other child, then you would have nothing to regret. And if we couldn’t have that other child, then we were very happy with the children that we had.” She went on to say that “it was very powerful, what [Erika] said about her own family, and certainly very moving to both of us.”
The second lady and soon-to-be mom of four also clarified on CBS Sunday Morning that while Erika’s remarks were a factor, they are not necessarily what inspired the couple to expand their family.
“I think I had already started to open my mind to the possibility,” she told Robert Costa of welcoming a fourth child with JD. “I wouldn’t say that this was, for me in any way, the decisive factor. But it came in the middle of a conversation that we were already having.”
In the excerpt of JD’s new book detailing his 2019 conversion to Catholicism, published by The Wall Street Journal on June 5, the vice president writes, “As my wife held Charlie Kirk’s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika [Kirk] told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie.”
“For years, I’d asked Usha to have another baby, and for years, she told me she was done, especially now that public service had elevated us into the national spotlight,“ he continues in the book, which hits shelves on June 16. “But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy.”
I think so poorly of JD Vance, I honestly wonder if he’s genuinely this clueless about the sexual quagmire he finds himself in. Erika Kirk clearly wants to be the “kingmaker” to his political ambitions, and she clearly wants to be Vance’s second wife, edging out both Usha and the couch. If you ask me, they’ve probably already consummated whatever this is. Usha is protecting her turf, which the timeline has made perfectly clear. And JD totally bungled it by trying to credit Erika Kirk with “convincing” Usha to have this fourth baby. Maybe Vance can convert to Mormonism next since he seems to want some kind of Sister Wife situation.

She thinks the baby will postpone the inevitable end of the marriage. Stupid. He’ll drop her as soon as you know who croaks.
I can’t get past the idea of any human being, let alone couch, allowing this man to touch them. I’ll say one good thing though: the kids are cute.
By the body language, I would very much believe that, at minimum, there’s an emotional affair, if not more, and EK, has now drunk the kool-aid having some pseudo-infamy as the RW Christian FL, so she would very much like to see herself as FLOTUS.
(Incidentally, I do find it contrary, and hypocritical to preach about Trad-wife-ism, when you are quite clearly not a Trad-wife).
Where I’m undecided, is if Usha, has resigned herself to this mockery of her marriage, as her husband clearly frat boy bullies her decisions and thoughts – I can completely see him having a conjugal visit one night in that time frame, knowing that his Catholic PR angle couldn’t handle an affair, and that, that base would fully embrace more Children = less birth control (or,) if she really was having a smoke signal sent over to the Black Widow.
They think of children as tokens or trophies that they collect.
This. They don’t think of them as people, or people to be raised. It’s a status symbol and sacrifice for their cryptofascist version of Christ.
Kids for Christ.
I agree with you on all of that. It’s impossible to see this shiz storm any other way. However, I guess,it’ll be hard to eject Usha with the new baby and the impending christofascist presidency. Conundrum.
Oh Usha, you aren’t fooling anybody. Just enjoy the fact that you shook Erica off your husband. Stealing the husband of a pregnant woman would ruin her grift.
I don’t get losing your husband in a gruesome, violent manner and your first thought is, gee, if only we had more kids. These people who sneer at women they call “childless cat ladies” should not be bringing more children into the world until they deal with their own issues. Freud could have written volumes on them.
Oh, Erika inspired Usha to go for that fourth baby, but not in the way JD said. Usha is guarding her turf, not that it will do her any good. I’d be all “you in danger, girl,” but she’s as scummy as the rest of them, so I hope she enjoys that leopard eating her face when she’s dumped.
Great now another kid he has to shut up during very important phone calls😆
Wait a second. According to JD, Usha said “for years” that she was “done” (and that he kept pestering her anyway). She was especially done because they were in the public eye. And then she changes her mind because …. something “crystallized” for HIM!? FOR JD?! Usha says: “It really did crystallize for you, that sense that if you could have that other child, then you would have nothing to regret.”
WTF? They can’t even get their story straight. He was pestering HER, it sounds like, until she finally gave in. Awesome and super-healthy all around. 🤮
Have the year and the life you voted for Usha.
Catholic doctrine is that any form of artificial birth control is evil and sinful, which most Catholics sensibly ignore. I hope JDV wasn’t using any such thing during the gap between pregnancies. Because that would be hypocritical. And we know he isn’t that, don’t we. Frankly I don’t know why we have to hear any information from either of them about their family planning.
JD is only celebrated right wing Catholic convert whose wife and children are not Catholic. It’s incredible work.
Why does her face look so bruised in the photo where they’re in a limo together? I Googled it but can’t find it.
Certainly looked like Usha defended her turf, such as it is. She should’ve edited his book if he’s writing like this.
“As my wife held Charlie Kirk’s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika [Kirk] told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie.”
Yeah, obviously Usha is way smarter than her dumb husband, but the way she verbally dealt with the situation sounded like a word salad to me. So, in this case, her dumb husband was so dumb that Usha was flabbergasted and didn’t know what to say (certainly not the truth: turf wars). So I guess I’m glad she’s going to have another one of her children. What I don’t get is why Vance, an evil idiot and bigot, would marry an Indian woman in the first place. That I don’t understand. Unless it was Usha herself, the smart one, manipulating the dumbass Vance into marrying her. But then I don’t get why she’d want him (or in truth, why anybody would).
They met during college. He wasn’t religious back then. Maybe he has changed and she hasn’t?
