Jessa Duggar Seawald and her husband, Ben Seawald, have welcomed their sixth child, a daughter named Sila Grace Seawald. The birth holds special meaning for the couple after experiencing a miscarriage in 2021. Jessa described their new baby as a gift of healing and grace after a tough season. The announcement was made through a heartfelt YouTube video documenting Sila’s birth and the joy she brought to the family.
Sila joins five older siblings—Spurgeon (9), Henry (7), Ivy Jane (5), Fern (3), and George (1)—who are thrilled to welcome her. The Seawalds kept this pregnancy private, opting for peace and family bonding over public updates, a shift from their past pregnancies. Jessa shared that this pregnancy was more emotional and tiring but that every hard moment was worth it.
The name Sila, a Hebrew word meaning “pause, reflect, or praise,” reflects the calm and gratitude the family feels. Ben, a proud “girl dad” to six daughters, expressed his joy and love, already envisioning teaching Sila new skills and protecting her fiercely.
Although the Seawalds have moved away from the spotlight of Counting On, they continue to share glimpses of their family life on their own terms, focusing on privacy and cherishing moments. With six children under ten, the family embraces the beautiful chaos of their daily lives while staying grounded in their faith and love. Fans have celebrated the news, praising Jessa and Ben’s authenticity and parenting approach.
