Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are getting ready to add even more grandchildren to the list in 2026! On Wednesday, John David Duggar and his wife, Abbie, announced that they’re expecting their third child. It’s not often that they give us a peek into their family life on social media anymore, but for this special occasion, they made an exception. Grace and Charlie are getting so big!
The sweet reveal was shared on Instagram.
In the photo, the family poses together with numbered balloons. Oldest daughter Grace, 5, is holding the number one, her little brother, Charlie, 2, is holding the number two, while John and Abbie hold up the three and their ultrasound photos of their baby-to-be.
“We’ve been keeping a little secret,” the caption on the post said. “Baby #3 arriving early 2026!!!”
Congratulations are already pouring in.
So many people are excited for John David and Abbie, including their family members. His sister, Jessa, commented with lots of heart eye emojis, while his brother Jeremiah’s wife, Hannah, wrote, “Congratulations!! So happy for y’all!”
Fans shared their well wishes, too, with one commenting, “Aww congratulations! Many wishes for a safe and healthy pregnancy, Mama and baby.”
This is the couple’s first social media update since June.
The last we heard from John and Abbie was when the couple shared photos from a quick tropical getaway, writing, “When the client’s Memorial Day plans go from ‘just a quiet weekend at home’ to ‘how about flying us to the Cayman Islands? And bring your wife!’ … Safe to say I cleared my schedule.”
They were quiet the rest of the summer, but it sounds like they were actually busy preparing to add another baby to their family.
John David’s twin, Jana, is expecting, too.
Last month, Jana announced that she and husband Stephen Wissmann are expecting their first baby in January, so it looks like she and Abbie should be due around the same time. Since they’ve always been close — and of course, John David is Jana’s twin — this should be such a special time for their family.
So, who’s going to announce a pregnancy next?
