In a heartwarming update for fans, Jessa Duggar Seewald and her husband Ben have officially shared the first family photo of their family of eight. The former “Counting On” star posted two adorable pictures on Instagram on Saturday, September 20, with their six children posing against a beautiful beach backdrop in Florida.
The Growing Seewald Family
In the photos, Jessa is seen holding her newborn son, Edward Owen, while Ben holds their second youngest, George. Their older children—Spurgeon, 9, Henry, 8, Ivy, 6, and Fern, 4—are all beaming with pride. The sweet family portraits immediately drew emotional responses from fans, many of whom have followed Jessa’s journey from a teenager on “19 Kids and Counting” to a mother of six.
The family’s growth has not gone unnoticed by their followers. Many commented on how much the children resemble Jessa, with one fan noting, “Duggar genes run strong in these kids.” Others expressed their surprise, having missed the news that Jessa and Ben had welcomed their sixth child, prompting them to say, “Wait a minute. When did you guys have six children? Oh my god, at Jesse Sewald at Ben Seawwald.”
Baby Edward’s Arrival
Jessa announced the birth of her sixth child, Edward Owen Seewald, on Instagram in early August. She shared that he was born on July 26, 2025, weighing 10 lbs. and 21 in. The proud mom later provided a “cuteness” update on September 6, revealing that baby Edward weighed 15 lbs. The couple also joked that they “may or may not address this little guy as ‘your royal fatness.'”
A Life of “Ordered Chaos”
With six children, the Seewald household is anything but quiet. Jessa has been candid about the challenges and joys of motherhood, sharing glimpses into their daily life through her YouTube channel and Instagram. From homeschooling to mealtime pandemonium, she and Ben work as a team, ensuring their children are raised in a loving and stable environment.
For long-time fans, this new family photo is more than just a picture; it’s a celebration of love, growth, and unwavering faith. While the world awaits to see what’s next for the Seewalds, Jessa’s latest update shows that family is and will always be at the heart of their story.
