The Duggar kids continue to spawn— and now they’re doing it two babies at a time!
Former Counting On star Jed Duggar announced on Thursday that he and his wife Katey are expecting twins. This will be the third and fourth kids for Jed and Katey– who have only been married three years! (The couple’s kids also include son Truett– who was born in May 2022– and daughter Nora, who was born in May 2023.)
“We are overjoyed to announce that we have twin girls on the way!” Jed wrote on Instagram. “As a twin myself, I’m especially thrilled to welcome these double blessings into our family! The bond between twins is truly special, and I can’t wait to see them grow and experience life together.”

(Jed and his twin Jeremiah are the second set of twins among Jim Bob and Michelle‘s 19 kids. The first set is John-David and Jana.)
Jed and Katey’s twins will be the 34th and 35th Duggar grandkids, but are the first set of twins in the next generation of the Duggar Family.
“When we found out we were having twins, our excitement was overwhelming—especially knowing they will be the first twin grandbabies in the Duggar family,” Jed wrote.
In a YouTube video posted to the couple’s channel on Thursday, Jed and Katey plot with Jed’s brother James to surprise the family with the news that they’re having twins. Later, they host a gender reveal party and gather most of the Duggar clan and Katey’s family to reveal the big news.
We see Jessa Seewald, Jim Bob and Michelle, John-David Duggar and his wife Abbie, Joy and Austin Forsyth, Joe and Kendra Duggar, Johanna and Josie Duggar, and a cornucopia of Duggar grandkids, all guessing what the baby is going to be.
After they “accidentally” let the first gender reveal balloon fly away, Jeremiah returns with two balloons— letting everyone know it’s twins. After it’s revealed that it’s twin girls, Jed and Katey receive side hugs all around. They then share the news with Jinger Duggar Vuolo via FaceTime.
Jed and Katey’s twins are due sometime in 2025.

Yawn. Jessa is green with envy!
These poor kids need to cling onto any “first” they can get
It was bound to happen and it’s no surprise it’s one of the twins’ wives (considering rumours of Jana being engaged and her being a twin herself plus being older, she might have twins herself as well!-I really wonder how legit that rumor is though)
There is only s small chance she’d have a twin as they are fraternal, she will have about the same odds as any other woman who isn’t a twin I know because I’m a fraternal twin and have had three children they told me that I would most likely not have twins but my children’s percentage for having twins will be greater than mine, I have two daughters and a son and only my second daughter had children and both were single pregnancies, I would of loved twin grand babies.
34th and 35th grandchildren. Holy hell. You have to have a planner just to remember all the names, ages and birthdates.
They have to breed like rabbits to keep their cult going with parishoners.
That girl’s body isn’t able to just heal from a pregnancy and birth and she’s pregnant again and again…
Sad. More girls to be groomed into that cult’s broodmares. And Jed is just Josh Duggar Lite. Yikes.
I know, right? He looks just like his perverted, jailbird brother!!!
Astute observation, Laura. They are closely related…
I’m not a fan of Jed, but Josh’s behavior is Josh’s to account for. Just because you’re related to someone who did horrible things doesn’t make you guilty.
We could talk about the irony “bunk bed jed” is having twins, the fact he thought he’d be elected into politics…etc
I get that Josh is a disgusting perv and the dad’s “religion” is crazy but I don’t think it’s fair to go so far as to say this guy is jhst like his brother.
More than likely, these brides are IBLP or some other form of fundamental or conservative Christian religion.
Someone who didn’t already drink the kool-aid wouldn’t even be allowed to court a Duggar.
