Another Duggar is coming!
Jeremiah and Hannah Duggar announced they are expecting a third baby in an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Sharing the news alongside a sweet photo with their two daughters, they each held a pink crochet newborn shoe as they smiled. “Life with our little girls has been wonderful and we are so excited about adding a third little girl to this group late next spring!! 💖💖💖,” they captioned the joint post.
The couple’s children will all be close in age — their second daughter, Brielle Grace, was born earlier this year in February, just 14 months after welcoming their first child, Brynley Noelle, in December 2022.
Jeremiah and Hannah also moved fast in their relationship. They got engaged in January 2022, just over two months after publicly revealing they were dating.
“She said YES!!!!” the 19 Kids and Counting alum captioned his post at the time. “Hannah, getting to know you for the past year has been so incredible! I can’t even find the words to describe it. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I cannot wait to marry you. I love you!!”
Duggar went on to thank Hannah’s family as well as his twin brother Jedidiah “Jed” Duggar and sister-in-law Katey Nakatsu Duggar for taking part in the engagement.
“Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible!! The Wissmann family and Jed & Katey went above and beyond to make it special,” he wrote.

The family tree grew a little more complicated between Hannah and Jeremiah’s families over the summer, when Hannah’s brother Stephen Wissmann married Jeremiah’s sister Jana.
“I liked the last Duggar/Wissmann wedding better, but this one was great too. 😉 Congratulations Stephen & Jana! We’re so happy for y’all!!” Jeremiah joked in a tribute post to the couple after the nuptials.
Stephen and Jana’s paths first crossed around the time that Jeremiah and Hannah got married, and because Hannah and Stephen are two of 13 siblings, they had no trouble connecting with the Duggars on that front. They ended up breaking things off at the time but Jana told PEOPLE in August that they “talked to each other on and off over the years.”
“I had been a slower mover on it, but just over time, his character, his coming back, still loving me no matter what,” she explained. “I know we have a big crazy family and still kind of putting up with a lot of things. I’m like, my goodness, there are not too many people that do that. He must really, genuinely care about me.”
