It looks like 2025 is going to be a Duggar baby boom. Though we already know more than one of the women in the family is currently expecting, it seems there’s another to add to the list: Lauren Duggar, who is married to Josiah. Jinger’s new YouTube vlog seems to confirm the rumors that Lauren is pregnant after weeks of speculation. Was this intentional?

Jinger celebrated her birthday at home in Arkansas.
Because Jinger’s birthday is December 21, it was close enough to the Christmas holidays that she was in town to spend it with her family – a rare opportunity for everyone to be in the same place at once.
The part of the video that some fans are paying the most attention to has nothing to do with Jinger, though.
There was a rare sighting of Lauren in the video.
Lauren and Josiah have chosen to keep their lives off of public social media for the last several years, but the couple does make appearances in posts that other members of the family share from time to time. And in this case, that meant eagle-eyed viewers could see Lauren in the background of a scene where the family was getting ready to eat at Jim Bob and Michelle’s house.
She’s wearing a light gray sweater dress in this shot and appears to be sporting a pretty visible baby bump.
There's been speculation for a while that Lauren is expecting again.
And now, Jinger’s video seems to confirm it, even if she didn’t say it outright.
After discussing this part of the vlog, fans on Reddit believe that Lauren will likely give birth in the first half of the year – and judging by the size of her bump, likely before Jinger, who is expecting her third child.

Lauren and Josiah's third child was only confirmed recently.
That intel also came from a blog – this time, the one Jana recently shared about her wedding to Stephen Wissmann. The video showed Jana’s family members posing for photos with the happy couple, and in one shot, we can see Josiah and Lauren, posing with their three kids, though the faces of the children are blurred out for privacy.
Lauren and Josiah appear to have two girls and a boy so far.
Lauren and Josiah posted a bit about their oldest child, Bella, on Instagram before abandoning the app entirely. She was born in 2019, so she’s 5 years old now.
From what fans have gleaned through vlogs and social media posts, it appears that Lauren and Josiah’s other two children are Daisy and Ezra. With a fourth on the way, they’re about to have a very full house!
