Reality star Jessa Duggar Seewald is growing her family! The 19 Kids and Counting star is expecting her sixth baby with her husband Ben Seewald. The news comes just over one year after the couple welcomed their fifth baby.
To announce her pregnancy news, Jessa shared a string of sonogram images to her Instagram and added in the caption, “Halfway to holding you in our arms! ” The pink emojis could signify the couple is expecting a girl, but Jessa didn’t go into any further details about the couple’s little one. The Counting On star’s pregnancy coincides with her sister Jinger Duggar’s pregnancy. Jinger is due this month and her sister Jessa helped her reveal her baby’s sex, a boy.
The reality star and her husband share five children together. They share three sons: Spurgeon Elliot, born in 2015, Henry Wilberforce, born in 2017, and George Augustine, born in 2023. The couple also share daughters Ivy Jane, born in 2019, and Fern Elliana, born in 2021. Six months before they announced Jessa was pregnant with George, the couple shared that Jessa had suffered a miscarriage. “Nothing could have prepared me for the weight of those words in that moment,” she shared at that time.
Jessa and Ben first met in April 2013, began pre-courting one month later, and they courted officially in September of that year. The couple went on to tie the knot in November 2014 in Bentonville, Arkansas three months after getting engaged in August 2014. Last month, the reality shared a picture of her husband while the two enjoyed date night and gushed over him in the caption writing, “My fav person in the whole wide world.”
Congratulations to Jessa and Ben on the news of their sixth baby! We wish them lots of love as they prepare to welcome their newborn.
