👶 Duggar Bombshell: Josiah and Lauren Secretly Parents of Three—Is Baby #4 on the Way?
Hold onto your bonnets, Duggar fans—this one’s a stunner.
After years of near-total silence, Josiah and Lauren Duggar may have just quietly confirmed the size of their growing family—and the internet is buzzing with speculation that baby #4 could be next.
Since TLC pulled the plug on Counting On, the couple has retreated from the public eye, erasing social media footprints and stepping back from the spotlight they once shared with millions. But a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in Jana Duggar’s wedding video has reignited fan obsession and raised some serious questions.
📹 A Wedding Video Reveals It All
On March 30, 2025, Jana Duggar uploaded her full wedding ceremony with husband Stephen Wissmann to YouTube. While the video celebrated her and Stephen’s big day, eagle-eyed fans were far more focused on a fleeting clip near the end.
In the group family photo, Josiah is seen holding a little girl (presumably Daisy), Lauren is cradling a baby boy (believed to be Ezra), and their eldest daughter Bella stands in front. Though the children’s faces were blurred to protect their privacy, the moment was enough to confirm a long-swirling rumor: Josiah and Lauren are parents to three children.
🤐 From Public Figures to Private Parents
Once featured prominently on the Duggar family’s reality shows, Josiah and Lauren married in June 2018 and welcomed their first child, Bella Milagro Duggar, in November 2019. Reports suggest their second daughter, Daisy, was born in 2021, and their third child, a son named Ezra, arrived in May 2023. But true to form, none of these births were officially announced by the couple.
This calculated silence has become the couple’s hallmark. They’ve removed all content from their Instagram account—including profile photos—effectively disappearing from the digital world. Unlike other Duggars who remain semi-public, Josiah and Lauren appear committed to protecting their children from the scrutiny that defined their own upbringing.
🍼 Could Baby #4 Be Here (Or on the Way)?
Here’s where things get even more intriguing.
The wedding video captured three children. But online fan forums are swirling with theories that Josiah and Lauren may have already welcomed a fourth child—or are expecting one. The couple’s strategic silence, combined with their consistent pattern of avoiding public announcements, has only intensified the speculation.
Some fans point out that each of their children was kept private until “slipped” in by accident—so it’s not unthinkable that another Duggar baby could already be here without the public knowing.
📉 From Spotlight to Shadows
The shift toward privacy isn’t unique to Josiah and Lauren. Sister Jinger Duggar now refuses to post her children’s faces online, and other Duggar siblings have followed suit. It’s part of a larger trend as members of the family attempt to distance themselves from past controversies and reclaim control of their narratives.
With Counting On canceled and the family reeling from scandals—including Josh Duggar’s conviction—some members, like Josiah and Lauren, are choosing peace over publicity.
🕯️ A Rare Glimpse into a Hidden Life
The wedding video provided fans with a rare—and possibly final—look into the quiet life Josiah and Lauren have built. They performed a song at the ceremony, shared smiles with family, and stood as a proud family of five (maybe six?) without saying a word.
No Instagram captions. No People Magazine exclusives. Just a private couple caught in a public family moment.
🔮 What’s Next?
Will they return to the spotlight? Unlikely. Josiah and Lauren seem fully committed to a private lifestyle, and fans will probably have to rely on subtle cameos and background sightings to keep up with their lives.
But whether they welcome a fourth child—or simply enjoy raising the three they have—the couple’s quiet rebellion against fame has left fans equal parts respectful and ravenous for details.
One thing is clear: in the world of Duggar family surprises, Josiah and Lauren are the masters of mystery.
