Joseph and Kendra Duggar have made a surprise return to the public eye with the announcement that they are expecting their fourth child. The couple, who have been largely absent from social media since the cancellation of Counting On, reportedly shared the news via a “grainy” Instagram photo showing Kendra with a baby bump. The announcement was a shock to many followers, as the low-key couple had been living a much quieter life away from the spotlight.
According to the account, the news was received with immense joy by the Duggar family, with patriarch Jim Bob Duggar reportedly crying and calling the baby a “blessing to our entire family” during a Sunday supper. The public reaction was equally swift, with “#BabyDuggarHash4” trending on social media platforms as fans and critics alike weighed in. The response has been a mix of excitement and congratulations, alongside commentary on the family’s ever-expanding size.
This pregnancy is seen by some as a potential “image boost” for the Duggar family brand, offering a positive storyline amidst ongoing controversies. While Joseph and Kendra have been focused on a more private, off-the-grid life centered on homeschooling and faith, there is now speculation that they might return to a more public role with a new blog or YouTube channel. Fans are guessing the new baby will arrive in the latter half of 2025.
