The Duggar family tree is growing yet again!
Former Counting On stars Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo announced Tuesday that they’re expecting their third child, due in March.
The couple, who are already parents to daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3, shared their baby news with People, telling the outlet they’re “super excited.”
Jinger also shared that she’s excited to not be “super big pregnant” during the heated months of summer, as she was with her first two children, who were born in the months of July and November, respectively.
“I’m actually all about it,” she said. “Especially in the heat the past few days, I think I’m not super big pregnant and so I’m not having to worry about the extra heat. I’m like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer!’”
While the couple were planning to expand their family, Jeremy said he was “still shocked” when Jinger revealed the news to him– a moment fans got to see in a video Jinger shared to her YouTube channel.
“When she told me, I was literally speechless,” Jeremy said of Jinger’s big reveal. “She got me good. It was on Felicity’s birthday. Jinger says, ‘I’ve got a gift for you.’ It was in an Amazon bag. So I’m thinking, ‘What did she get from Amazon for me?’ Then I open it up and it’s the positive result and I’m actually speechless.”
When it came time to share the news with Felicity and Evangeline, Jinger said she gifted the girls matching denim jackets with the words “BIG SIS” on the back, which earned different reactions from each of the girls.
“Felicity started jumping up and down in excitement over the news,” Jinger said. “Evangeline wasn’t quite sure what to make of the news, but we are certain that once the baby arrives, she will be all about her new role as big sis.”
Jinger also shared in her YouTube video the moment she told her sisters and mom, Michelle Duggar, that she’s expecting, which she chose to do while they were on a trip celebrating Jana Duggar’s bachelorette party.
Jinger noted that while she was “set with two” kids, she and Jeremy had always discussed having three or four, adding that the former is what she’s “leaning towards right now.”
Jeremy and Jinger have yet to reveal whether they are having a boy or girl, claiming they are “happy either way.” (Jinger did, however, confirm that there will be a gender reveal at some point.)
Regardless, fans will most likely not get to see Baby Vuolo No. 3 make a big debut on social media after their arrival, as the couple revealed in April 2021 that they stopped posting photos of their children online in order to give them “a bit more privacy while they’re so young.”
With the announcement of Jinger’s pregnancy, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are set to become grandparents of 36 in the coming months. As The Ashley previously told you, Jed Duggar and his wife Katey announced in July that they’re expecting twin girls, due sometime in 2025.

It’s nice to see Jinger so happy! She almost looked dead in the eyes before Jeremy, poor thing! Not saying he’s the whole reason, though. The fact that she can wear shorts and not be convinced she’ll die in a car accident as punishment is probably a bigger reason 🥴
