By Movieguide® Contributor
Jessa Duggar and husband, Ben Seewald, are expecting baby no. 5!
“Just this past week we found out some wonderful news that our rainbow baby is on the way and we could not be more excited,” the COUNTING ON star said.
“After the heartbreaking loss of a baby last year, we’re overjoyed to share that another little Seewald is on the way,” the couple told TLC. “The pregnancy is going smoothly, and both baby and Jessa are doing well. We are so grateful to God for the precious gift of a new life!”
The couple shares four children together: Spurgeon, 7, Henry, 6, Ivy, 4, and Fern, 2.
People reported, “‘After a heartbreaking loss last year, we are so grateful God has blessed us with a rainbow baby,’ Jessa, 30, wrote on her Instagram Story Saturday, including a link to a video on her YouTube channel titled ‘A Baby on the Way & ‘Romantic Getaway.’”
The couple lost their unborn baby in 2022. Duggar and Seewald did not anticipate the miscarriage and shared that the experience felt incredibly difficult.
The couple also miscarried in Duggar’s fourth pregnancy, before their daughter Fern’s birth.
After their doctor told them about their baby’s condition, Duggar said, “Nothing could have prepared me for the weight of those words in that moment. At that moment I was just in complete shock. I didn’t have words. I just immediately started crying.”
Duggar and Seewald have not told fans the baby’s due date or how far along Duggar is in her pregnancy.
