John-David Duggar and Abbie Duggarare going to be counting on to three.
The couple who got married in 2018, formerly from the show Counting On, and now proud parents of Grace Duggar, aged 5, and Charlie Duggar, aged 2, are anticipating the arrival of another baby.
On Instagram, the couple shared that they’ve been holding onto a tiny piece of news – they are expecting baby number three in early 2026!!!
In a delightful manner, John-David (age 35) and Abbie (age 33) shared their pregnancy news, complete with family photos. They posed alongside their children Gracie and Charlie, while holding up balloons shaped like the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, they included a sonogram image of the upcoming addition to their family.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d express it this way: Upon announcing our exciting pregnancy news, we were overwhelmed with heartfelt well-wishes. One of those warm greetings came from my brother-in-law, Jana Duggar. She took to Instagram Stories to share her joy and enthusiasm for us, saying “Congratulations! I’m absolutely thrilled for you all!!”.
Jana also has plenty to be joyful about, as she’s on the brink of becoming a mother for the first time. She shared in August that she’s expecting her and husband Stephen Wissmann’s first child together.
Jana announced on Instagram on August 18 that she and her family are bursting with excitement, as they’re expecting a new addition by January 2026! They can hardly wait for this joyful moment that marks the beginning of an exciting new phase in their lives.
Apart from Jinger Duggar Vuolo, her and John-David’s sister, not many were as thrilled about the Counting On alum’s pregnancy announcement as she was among their 17 other siblings.
31-year-old @janelainecapistrano is overjoyed for her sister, Janam Duggars, and Stephen Wissman! She expressed her excitement on her own Instagram Story: “I can hardly wait to meet this adorable baby and become the favorite auntie!” Her daughters Felicity Vuolo (7) and Evangeline Vuolo (4), along with husband Jeremy Vuolo, welcomed their son Finnegan Vuolo in March.
Jana responded, “Thanks! I think there are several aunts competing for that title.”
Besides Jinger, another member of the Duggar family, specifically Jessa Duggar, has also welcomed a new baby this year. In August, Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald welcomed their sixth child, Edward Owen Seewald. This arrival came about two weeks before Jana announced her pregnancy. The couple’s other children include Spurgeon Seewald (9 years old), Henry Seewald (8), Ivy Seewald (6), Fern Seewald (4), and George Seewald (20 months).

The original high school sweethearts, who are now the parents of more than nineteen children and grandparents to over thirty-six, began their relationship as such.
Michelle recalls being rescued at the age of 15. One evening, Jim Bob was visiting homes on behalf of his Baptist church and found himself knocking on the Ruark family’s door after hearing from a friend about “a girl from school who had recently been saved and was a cheerleader” living there.
michelle was asked to attend Sunday school at their church by them, and Jim Bob shared that he hoped god would make them spiritual mentors for each other – though it seems Michelle didn’t find their initial encounter particularly memorable. A year passed, and Michelle applied for a job at the frozen yogurt store owned by Jim Bob’s parents. In a blog post written for Jim Bob’s birthday and their 33rd wedding anniversary in 2017, Michelle recalled, “You stood behind the counter where I approached to make my purchase. You were reserved but charming! Honestly, I don’t recall many details from that conversation, except that you eventually worked up the courage to ask me if I would accompany you to your junior-senior banquet!
After going to dinner with him at Shiloh Christian, they deepened their bond when they spent hours discussing the Bible at her family’s home. This is where Michelle believes they truly connected. They graduated from high school in May of 1984 and got married in July, both being 17 and 19 years old respectively.
The couple dedicated themselves to God and each other for the long run.
As a dedicated follower, I was once a state legislator, serving in the Arkansas House of Representatives for the sixth district from 1999 until 2002. During my tenure, I held the position of vice chair for the House Corrections and Criminal Law Subcommittee. However, my ambitions to represent the U.S. Senate in 2002 and secure the Republican nomination for Arkansas State Senate District 35 in 2006 were unsuccessful during the primaries.
They, along with Michelle, who are both real estate agents, have been involved in conservative movements – a part of their lifestyle that has earned them admirers (supporters) and opponents (critics). Notably, they were fans and vocal critics of the show “19 Kids and Counting,” which initially debuted as “17 Kids and Counting” in 2008.
As of October 2024, they were grandparents of 33 with three on the way.
The firstborn of the Duggars, Josh Duggar, entered the world on March 3, 1988. Similar to his conservatism leanings, he also became an activist, advocating for the Family Research Council.
In 2015, police records from previous years emerged that implicated him in accusations of molestation towards multiple girls, including his sisters Jessa Duggar and Jill Duggar, when he was still a teenager. However, Jessa spoke out during an interview with Fox News in June, defending her brother, claiming that the harsh labels people were using against Josh were “excessive and false” and she could say this as one of the victims herself.
His wife, Anna Duggar, who got married to him during the September 26, 2008 wedding that aired on “19 Kids and Counting”, stood by him even in the aftermath of his confession about infidelity.
Upon admittance to a rehabilitation facility in 2016, his parents described it as an essential initial move towards recuperation and healing.
The parents of Mackynzie (born October 8, 2009), Michael (June 15, 2011), Marcus (June 2, 2013), and later Anna welcomed four more children into their family: Meredith in July 16, 2015 amidst a scandal; Mason Garett on September 12, 2017; Maryella Hope on November 27, 2019; and Madyson Lily was born on October 23, 2021. Making them seven children in total for the family.
In an indictment filed in April 2021 by federal authorities, Josh faced charges for receiving and possessing child pornography. He pleaded not guilty to both accusations. In 2022, he was convicted of both offenses, though the possession charge was later dismissed by a judge. As a result, he received a sentence of 12 and a half years in prison.
A short while following Josh’s birth, Michelle became pregnant once more, unfortunately experiencing a miscarriage. As they mourned this loss and sought divine direction, they discovered they were expecting twins.
She expressed that it felt like a special gift twice over,” she shared with Love to Know. “It seemed God was offering us reassurance. We’re continually growing and learning. It’s quite extraordinary, given the circumstances, as I nurse my babies one after another. In this unique situation, it appears the Lord has chosen to work in an uncommon way.
John David Duggar and his twin sister Jana Duggar were born on Jan. 12, 1990.
After a long period of knowing each other, spanning several years, and their first encounter happening at a church gathering in Abbie’s home state of Oklahoma, John David and Abbie-Grace Burnett tied the knot on November 3, 2018, following a swift courtship and brief engagement.
On January 7, 2020, they joyfully welcomed their daughter Grace Annette Duggar into their family, and they welcomed their son Charlie Duggar in the month of September 2022.
On my 30th birthday in January 2020, I penned a heartfelt note to John, expressing how our bond seemed like something out of a fairy tale. People often asked if we shared some kind of twin intuition-you know, the strange connection where you feel what the other is feeling or sense what they’re thinking… Well, John, I’ve always dismissed such claims, but the moment little Gracie was born, I felt every ounce of joy that coursed through your veins. So, it seems our connection might be more profound than I ever thought!
Jana went on to say, “It’s such a delight to see you and Abbie in your parenting roles. You both seem so natural at it! The traits that have made you an exceptional brother will undoubtedly make you an outstanding father as well.
18 of Jana’s siblings got married before she met Stephen Wissmann, whose sister Hannah Wissmann is married to one of her brothers (Jeremiah). Despite experiencing some patience-testing moments, Jana believed it was all according to a divine design.
Jana shared with People magazine prior to her August 15, 2024, wedding that she hasn’t always grasped the overall plan, but she trusts that God knows what is best for everyone. Consequently, she decided to get married later. She expressed that each person’s story unfolds uniquely; if our lives were identical, it would make life uninteresting.
Just over a year later, the couple shared that they’re expecting their first baby.
Jill Duggar, also known as Jill Dillard, was born on May 17, 1991. Her love story mirrors that of her parents’, as she first crossed paths with Derick, who lived approximately 45 minutes away, during Christmas in 2011. This chance encounter took place when he visited the Duggar family home while caroling with his church group.
Jim Bob acted as a relationship broker, helping Jill and Derick find a connection that blossomed through email and video calls. In November of the same year, they visited Derick in Nepal, further strengthening their bond. Over time, they grew more and more fond of each other. In February 2014, Derick requested Jim Bob’s permission to propose to his daughter, and they got married on June 21, 2014. They have three sons together: Israel (born April 6, 2015), Samuel (born July 8, 2017), and Frederick (born July 7, 2022).
In the month of April 2024, Jill revealed that they had experienced a miscarriage, as they were anticipating the birth of their first daughter with Derick.
In June 2023, when the Amazon Prime Video documentary titled “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” was released, Jill and Derick took time to contemplate the debates and religious viewpoints about her family that were portrayed in the show.
Jim Bob and Michelle’s fifth child, Jessa Duggar, was born Nov. 4, 1992.
As a devoted follower, I encountered Ben through our shared faith at church back in 2013, and he initiated what’s known as courting – an antiquated yet charming approach to romance that was quite novel to many onlookers. Before we took the leap into engagement, my partner and I kept our romantic endeavors under wraps. When asked about it by People magazine, Jim Bob elucidated, “Courting is a process of getting to know each other in a group setting, where both families spend time together and the couple set mutual goals to evaluate if they’re suitable for marriage. Dating typically involves couples spending private moments alone, which can sometimes lead to a more physical relationship.
Ben asked Jessa for her hand in marriage and proposed to her in August 2014, marking the beginning of their engagement by holding hands for the first time. They got married on November 1, 2014. During pregnancy with their first child, Jessa’s show, “19 Kids and Counting,” was canceled, leading to a special episode about sexual abuse on TLC, in which Jill and Jessa shared their experiences. That winter, Jessa and Jill became the main stars of their own show, “Jill and Jessa: Counting On.” Eventually, this show expanded to include other Duggar siblings, and it was renamed “Counting On.
Over Nov. 5, 2015, Jessa and Ben had their firstborn named Spurgeon; later on Feb. 6, 2017, they welcomed their second child, Henry; then came daughter Ivy Jane on May 28, 2019. The family was expanded further with the arrival of daughter Fern in July 2021. Sadly, during the holiday season of 2022, Jessa experienced a miscarriage. However, she delivered their fourth child, George, in December 2023.
In August 2025, Jessa announced the birth of son Edward.
The sixth Duggar child, Jinger Vuolo, was born Dec. 21, 1993.
Jinger and Jeremy first met while engaged in religious work in Laredo, Texas, and their romance blossomed in 2016. They exchanged wedding vows on November 5, 2016, which also happened to be their nephew Spurgeon’s birthday (a challenge when you’re part of a family as large as the Duggers!). Almost immediately after tying the knot, speculation about a possible pregnancy began.
In simpler terms, Jinger stated during a June 2017 episode of Counting On that they anticipate remaining in Laredo, continuing their ministry work, and simply aiming to serve the Lord in whatever capacity possible.
2018 saw the blessed arrival of my precious little one, Felicity, on July 19th. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, I learned in May that Jinger had conceived again and suffered a miscarriage the previous fall. Yet, the joy returned to our lives when Evangeline Jo entered our world in November 2020, filling it with love once more.
Son Finnegan Charles was born March 29, 2025.
Born on January 20th, 1995, Joseph Duggar took the opportunity presented by a romantic setting to propose to Kendra, whom he had met through church, at his sister Joy-Anna’s wedding in May 2017. The proposal came after only a few months of courtship.
Before asking her, Joseph admitted he felt quite anxious, yet he wasn’t fearful of a refusal because she had already expressed, ‘I’m merely waiting for you!'” – as shared with People magazine, Joseph mentioned afterwards. Kendra added, “I’m overjoyed and completely astonished. There are so many things I wish to express, but mostly shocked.
Since then, they have announced the births of their son Garrett (born in June 2018), their daughter Addison (born in November 2019), and most recently, their daughter Brooklyn (born in February 2021).
Eighth in line, Josiah Duggar was born on Aug. 28, 1996.
In a little over three months since their relationship became public knowledge, the pair revealed their engagement in March 2018. As he shared in a statement, the location where he proposed to Lauren held significant sentimental value as it was also the same spot where her parents had been engaged. This property carries a rich family history, making it particularly meaningful for Lauren.
In a video shared on their family blog, Michelle (who will be Lauren’s mother-in-law) expressed her affection for Lauren, saying, “Lauren is such a cherished girl and we truly adore her.” Jessa and Ben also extended their congratulations, along with a chocolate gift shaped like X’s and O’s. Michelle playfully hinted, “I think you both might want to save your first kiss for your wedding day, but if you visit us, we have a sweet treat waiting…” She indicated the delicious reward she was holding up.
Their romantic involvement with Marjorie Jackson ended unsuccessfully in the summer of 2015, and they chose to part ways. Reflecting back to People magazine in March 2016, Josiah reminisced fondly about their time together, stating, “We were simply attempting to follow God’s guidance on everything. Unfortunately, she didn’t believe it was the right moment for us then, so we took a brief break.
On June 30, 2018, he and Lauren got married and shared with People that their wedding day was simply wonderful. Later, on November 8, 2019, they welcomed their first child, Bella Milagro, a name meaning “miracle baby.” This came after the couple had experienced a miscarriage in October 2018. In 2022, they were blessed with another daughter named Daisy, and in May 2023, they welcomed a son named Ezra into their family.
Ninth sibling Joy-Anna Duggar was born Oct. 28, 1997.
She had been friends with Austin Forsyth for a span of fifteen years before he began pursuing her. Following this development, there was no delay. He popped the question in February 2017 and they tied the knot on May 26, 2017, at Cross Church in Rogers, Arkansas – the venue where Joseph proposed to Kendra.
Joy-Anna and Austin had their first child, Gideon Martin Forsyth, on February 23, 2018. Their second child, Evelyn Mae Forsyth, joined the family on August 21, 2020. And on May 17, 2023, they welcomed their third child, Gunner James Forsyth.
As a devoted follower, I’d like to share that the twins, Jed Duggar and Jeremiah Duggar, whom you know as Jim Bob and Michelle’s second set of twins, graced our world on December 30, 1998.
Jed got married to Katey Nakatsu a year later, in April 2021, following a year of courtship. They have a son named Truett who was born in May 2022, and a daughter called Nora Kate who arrived in June 2023.
In July 2024, Jed and Katey shared the exciting news of their impending twin daughters. On January 8, 2025, they welcomed beautiful babies into their family, naming them Elsie Kate and Emma Kate.
Jeremiah, a licensed aviation instructor, is married to Hannah Wissmann (sister of Stephen, Jana’s husband) and together they have two children: Brynley, born in December 2022, and Brielle, born in February 2024.
They announced the arrival of their third daughter, Emery ‘Emy’ Jane Duggar, on May 18, 2025.
No. 12 Jason Duggar was born on April 21, 2000.
In January 2017, according to the Daily Mail, Jim Bob aided Jase in purchasing a $33,000 property requiring repairs in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, which is approximately half an hour from the Duggar family’s main residence. Subsequently, he established his own construction business.
In May 2024, he made his relationship with Maddie Grace Instagram official, and they got married the next October.
Charmed No. 13, James Duggar was born July 7, 2001.
He doesn’t have a public romantic relationship yet, but he is very loving and caring towards numerous nieces and nephews as an uncle.
On his 19th birthday in 2019, Michelle wrote that James is the admired “fun uncle” type among the younger boys in their community, who aspire to emulate him. James has an impressive knack for accomplishing whatever he sets his mind to. As a child, we often discovered him tinkering with household appliances and making them work better. He’s always been one to disassemble, understand, and reassemble objects with some unique enhancements!
This year, James dedicated himself diligently to earn his Commercial Driver’s License, and now he is a seasoned professional when it comes to operating large trucks and complex machinery. We are eagerly anticipating the exciting opportunities that lay ahead for him in the years to come!
No. 14 Justin Duggar arrived on Nov. 15, 2002.
In September 2020, he announced his relationship with Claire Spivey to the public. They became engaged a month later in November and tied the knot on February 26, 2021.
On the same day, Jim Bob and Michelle’s fifteenth child, Jackson Duggar, entered the world with his older sister Jill by his side on May 23, 2004.
When Jackson turned 16, his mother Michelle commended his good sense of humor and remarked that she was well aware of his eagerness to obtain a driver’s license.
Johannah Duggar came into the world on October 11, 2005, which is why the first family reality show centered around them was titled “16 Kids and Moving In“.
Michelle penned down on her daughter’s 15th birthday in 2020: “This girl is full of life and enjoys meeting new people, just as lively as she is friendly. Her younger siblings simply idolize her and believe she’s the stars themselves! I can’t help but feel thankful to God for giving me the privilege of being her mother.
Jennifer Duggar arrived on Aug. 2, 2007, then the baby of the family.
Their TLC show that premiered Sept. 29, 2008, was christened 17 Kids and Counting.
Now, OMG, she’s a teenager.
Michelle praised Jennifer on her 13th birthday, describing her as reliable, devoted, and full of joy. The family’s children adore her, often clinging to her and resisting when she tries to set them down. Jennifer is not only affectionate towards people but also animals, diligently caring for her pets daily. Recently, she even took on the task of rearing a brood of 7 little bunnies!
Here on the right, the penultimate Duggar child was born Dec. 18, 2008.
2019 saw Jordyn-Grace being described by her mom as a sociable young lady who instantly connects with everyone, and her laughter was often highlighted as one of the most radiant elements that enlightens our days.
Josie Duggar, seen here cradling her niece Meredith, was born on December 10, 2009. Due to being three months early, she weighed a tiny 1 pound and 6 ounces at birth. As a result, she spent a significant amount of time – six months to be exact – in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
On her baby’s 11th birthday in 2020, Michelle expressed that Josie is full of non-stop vigor. Whether it’s the moment she starts her day or when she rests at night, Josie seldom takes a break!
