Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Celebrate Family Milestones with Five Children

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald tied the knot in November 2014, marking the beginning of their expanding family journey.

Just five months post-wedding, the couple shared their first pregnancy news. “Ben and I are so excited to announce that we’re expecting a baby!!!!” Jessa, one of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children, announced on Twitter (now X) in April 2015.

Their first child, Spurgeon, was born in November 2015, paving the way for his younger brother Henry, who arrived in February 2017. Their family grew further with the birth of daughter Ivy in May 2019.

In a poignant moment, the couple revealed a miscarriage two years later, describing it as “heartbreaking.” However, joy returned with the arrival of rainbow baby Fern in July 2021, marking Jessa’s first hospital birth experience.

Tragedy struck again in February 2023 when they faced another pregnancy loss. Yet, hope blossomed once more as they welcomed son George in December of the same year.

In May 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their sixth child, continuing their journey of parenthood.

Fans can enjoy glimpses into Jessa and Ben’s family life through their cherished photos. Celebrating their fourth month as parents in March 2016, they indulged in ice cream together.

Henry experienced snow for the first time in March 2017, while Spurgeon and Henry donned matching jerseys in June 2017, showcasing their playful bond.

Jessa expressed her admiration for Ben on Father’s Day in June 2019, stating on Instagram, “Couldn’t have asked for a better daddy.”

In December 2019, the family sported festive outfits, capturing the holiday spirit. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Jessa shared, “No other people I’d rather be stuck at home with than these four right here.”

April 2020 saw the family celebrating Easter with a joyful photo. Following a trip to Florida in February 2021, Jessa noted how her children were captivated by the beach's beauty.

In March 2021, she shared a “Sunday morning” selfie with her three kids. “Fern has a fan club,” she remarked in August 2021, highlighting her children’s affection for their youngest sibling.

Ivy and Fern showcased their adorable “matching dresses” in an October 2021 post. The couple celebrated Fern’s five-month milestone in December 2021 with joyful photos.

“My favorite little people!” Ben wrote on Instagram that same month. Jessa shared a touching moment in March 2022 with Ivy and Fern on her lap, captioning it “My girls.”

As April 2023 approached, Jessa posted a picture of her smiling children, one of the last before George’s arrival. In November 2024, she shared memories from a family outing to the Ark Encounter Museum in Kentucky, recommending it to followers.
