Jeremiah Duggar and his wife, Hannah, have welcomed their second baby. The couple, whose social media presence is fairly sparse, returned to Instagram earlier this week to announce the arrival of a baby girl. The announcement excluded details of their child’s birth. Still, it hints at the couple’s naming theme. Both of their children have names that start with B. They would only be the second Duggar couple, excluding Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, to choose a specific letter as a name theme.

Hannah announced her second pregnancy on Instagram in November 2023, just a month before her first child turned a year old. Unlike her first pregnancy, she waited until the third trimester to make the big announcement. She and Jeremiah opted not to share the gender of their second child with the world ahead of time.

The Duggar family spent over a decade sharing their family “rules’ on 19 Kids and Counting On. The Duggar family adheres to a series of rules, including the rule that women should not work outside the home. Based on the Institute of Basic Life Principles teachings, they also think men should work for themselves instead of corporations. Many of the Duggars have followed the family tradition as they started their own families. It looks like one couple is sidestepping the career guidelines, though. Based on a recent video, it looks like Abbie Duggar, John David Duggar’s wife, has a job. A woman who looks just like Abbie was spotted in Joy-Anna Forsyth’s birth video.

When TLC canceled Counting On following Josh Duggar’s arrest on child pornography charges, the Duggar family scattered. The family’s adult children took vastly different approaches when dealing with the public following their eldest sibling’s arrest. Some family members moved onto YouTube and Instagram to engage with viewers and supplement their income. Others opted to leave their reality TV fame behind and live anonymously. Josiah and Lauren Duggar are one couple who opted to walk away completely, and they haven’t returned to the spotlight since. Still, interest in the reclusive couple continues. A now-deleted baby registry suggests Josiah and Lauren Duggar are expecting a third baby. A new baby for the couple would solve a longstanding baby mystery, but they never actually confirmed their second child.

The Duggar family is best known now for Josh Duggar’s legal troubles. Years before federal marshals arrested the former reality TV star, the Duggar family was seen as a mostly wholesome Christian family. Their TLC shows, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, certainly tried to paint the family in a positive light. Despite the show’s best efforts, Duggar family critics spent years calling out the family’s strange behavior, noting there was something not quite right about the supersized clan. To be fair, there were plenty of odd moments during the run of both reality TV shows. We’ve collected three of the most peculiar Duggar family episodes.

Jessa Seewald’s pregnancy is an interesting development, but Duggar family followers have been trying to unravel a family mystery for months before Jessa shared her big news. In October 2022, Joy-Anna Forsyth posted a video to YouTube that shared her family’s reactions to her pregnancy. In one clip, Joy’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, informed his daughter that she would be giving birth to the family’s 30th grandchild.

Jinger Vuolo’s book, Becoming Free Indeed, is mostly about her life and her journey away from the Institute of Basic Life Principles. The Iblp is the ultra-conservative Christian ministry she, and her 18 siblings, were raised around. Still, Jinger’s memoir does touch on her familial relationships. The 29-year-old influencer even discusses convicted felon Josh Duggar in the non-fiction offering.
Jinger Vuolo hasn’t spoken to Josh Duggar in years
Jinger has a somewhat distant relationship with her ultra-conservative family. Some of that is due to geography, and some of it seems to be a personal choice. In Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger states that she hasn’t seen or spoken to her brother, Josh Duggar, in nearly two years, at the time of writing. Based on the book’s timeline and when it was published, it’s obvious that Jinger, like several other siblings, appeared to pull away from Josh...

Lauren Swanson was spotted in a rare appearance on social media.
Josiah Duggar and his wife, Lauren, have abandoned social media. They cleared their Instagram account last year, leaving only a handful of photos that sparked divorce concerns.
There’s also been speculation the couple welcomed a baby earlier this year, possibly a little boy, but neither Lauren nor Josiah confirmed it. Lauren was spotted looking pregnant in Jedidiah Duggar and Katelyn Nakatsu’s gender reveal video.
Without Counting On filming, the couple chose to live a more private life than some of the other couples. They aren’t into the YouTube videos of influencer posts.

Ugh. Jinger Duggar is getting mom-shamed, so much so that she disabled the comments on one of her photos of Felicity so that followers and nay-sayers couldn't continue to leave critical messages. The Counting On star gave birth to her baby girl — whom she shares with her (hunky Af) hubby, Jeremy Vuolo — but her parenting skills have been called into question pretty much constantly since then. And after months of mommy-shaming, she's having trouble dealing with all the hate. The most recent controversy came out when the 24-year-old mom showed off photos of her daughter in a head wrap, which some called cultural appropriation. "Jinger has busybodies commenting on everything she does so it’s not a huge shock that she’s getting grief over Felicity’s head wrap but it still upsets her," a Duggar family insider revealed to Hollywood Life. "She feels like she's constantly getting mom shamed since she had Felicity.

Move Over, Jinger Duggar! Fans Think They Know Why Jill Is Now The Rule Breaker In Her Famous Family
Sorry, Jinger Duggar, you've been dethroned! The former "rebel" of her famous family is no longer as big of a rule breaker as her big sis, Jill. Although Jinge is notorious for wearing pants — and was even once rumored to be on birth control — the 27-year-old has been rocking a nose piercing, getting a tattoo, and gasp! even showing off her shoulders. Now, fans seem to think they know why. According to the anti-Duggar Facebook page Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray, the former reality star is rebelling once more. Watch the video above to see their evidence and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel. People quickly began commenting their thoughts on the theory, with many speculating it has to do with her controversial husband, Derick Dillard.

What happened to Amy Duggar? Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's niece had a pretty prominent role on the Duggar family's former TLC series 19 Kids and Counting as "Cousin Amy," but ever since the show was canceled after Josh's back to back scandals in 2015, she's been slowly fading more and more off the radar. The last time fans heard of her, she was reportedly being "silenced" by her famous reality TV fam and wasn't allowed to talk about them or post about them on social media — which was also around the time when she set her Instagram to private. But last week, the Duggar fam shared a warm birthday tribute to Amy, which has all of us wondering what was up with their feud in the first place?

No one's first kiss ever goes perfectly, but for Josiah Duggar and his new bride Lauren Swanson, it was their second kiss that was the trouble. Well, it was more of an "almost" kiss than anything, actually, because when Josiah went to lay one on his wife after their first, official marital swoop, she totally rebuffed him — and in front of everyone. Considering the Duggar family's strict courting rules, the couple obviously didn't really get the chance to practice how things would go at the altar. Still, we doubt that either of them expected that it would turn out like that. On their wedding episode of Counting On, the TLC stars walked down the aisle so that they could tie the knot and finally, finally kiss. As they said during their interviews, waiting those four months was a long time! But despite all that practice Josiah got kissing his hand,...

He's spilling all the tea! Josiah Duggar wanted to impress his future wife Lauren Swanson with his smooching skills on their wedding day, so he practiced by kissing his hand! The reality star kept it real while chatting with his brother on last night's Counting On finale. “As far as the first kiss goes, I mean, I’m sure you can figure it out,” Joseph said. “It’s not really that complicated.” Josiah appeared to be a little nervous about how the moment would go down, explaining, “I asked her just to stay still…and then kind of go with it." Joseph, 23, suggested he lead the way, but since this would be a brand new experience for Josiah, he decided to take matters into his own hands — quite literally. “I was thinking, you know what? I wonder what it feels like,” Josiah said. “So I practiced on my hand." View...

If you've been watching Counting On or were a fan of 19 Kids and Counting, then you already know that the Duggars live by strict sets of rules when it comes to the way that they can dress, interact with members of the opposite sex (including their siblings), and go on dates. There are also rules about social media — namely, that you're not allowed to have any until you're married or at least engaged. But recently, Jessa Duggar set out to debunk that myth on an Instagram album of Jana Duggar and Jessa's trip to the store to buy more than a dozen pumpkins. When fans saw the post, they were excited to see more shots of the oldest Duggar daughter out and about. And in the comments, they wanted to know how they could find her own social media accounts.

It looks like their first spontaneous married adventure must've gone well, because Josiah Duggar and his new wife Lauren Swanson are back on Instagram and packing on the Pda. The young couple, who tied the knot in June, have certainly been getting more comfortable with each other since their wedding. Though they did break a few courtship rules on the way to the alter, they still managed to save their first kiss for marriage, and since then they've continued to practice. And now they're joining in on the Duggar practice of sharing their Pda online. The couple has posted kissing pics before. Their first Instagram as a married couple showed their silhouettes as they shared a ~steamy~ makeout session a month after their big day. The month after that, Lauren 'grammed a romantic wedding photo of Si laying a big smooch on her, captioning it with a sweet message for her new husband's birthday.

It's hardly news that the Duggar kids don't go to school in the traditional sense. Instead, they stay home and are homeschooled by mom Michelle Duggar — or, more recently, oldest sis Jana Duggar and her Bff Laura DeMasie. But things just may be changing now that Derick Dillard is off at law school and bringing his wife Jill Duggar along to his classes for date nights. On this week's episode of Dishin' on the Duggars, we're talking about the state of everyone's education — and, of course, everything else that's been going on this week. Jim Bob Duggar showering his wife in compliments? We're on it. Gideon Forsyth being an adorable baby? We wouldn't miss it. Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson heading out on a married adventure?

Though the Duggars live their lives in front of the camera, they can still be pretty private, and we don't always see much of their friends. Recently, though, Jill Duggar took to social media to share an inspiring message with and for her friend Molly Kuhl who's been battling cancer. In honor of her friend, Jill posted a picture of herself in a special tank top with the bible quote, "Do it again, Lord." She had even more to say herself. "Wearing my #doitagainLordshirt today for my sweet friend @mollykuhl1219 on what our friends have named #mollymonday," the mom of two wrote on Monday, September 17th. "We continue to uplift and pray for Molly (& fam!) as she goes through chemo, then stem cell treatments later this week! Love you Molly!

Jim Bob is one lucky man! The Counting On star recently took to Instagram to give a shout out to his wife, Michelle, just days after her birthday. Although his message was seriously adorable, it was her slim figure that really got people talking. Watch the video above to see the pic — and to find out what people had to say! Back in 2014, the 52-year-old opened up about body image and said she's proud of her stretch marks and flaws. "We're always going to find somebody skinnier than we are, somebody bigger than we are," she said in an interview with Today. "Every girl struggles with, 'Oh, I wish I looked like that or I wish my hair was like that.' We go back to the point of who you are and how God made you — you're not your sister. It's all about being who God wants You to be.
