Josiah and Lauren Duggar Welcome Twins in a Stunning Surprise Announcement
In true Duggar fashion, Josiah and Lauren Duggar have left fans speechless with the unexpected announcement of their twin babies. After years of living away from the public eye, the couple shared the joyous news, catching even longtime fans of Counting On off guard. From a secret pregnancy to the heartfelt reveal, here’s everything we know about this momentous chapter for the Duggar family.
A Love Story Rekindled
Josiah Duggar (28) and Lauren Swanson Duggar (25) first captured the spotlight in 2018 with their courtship, engagement, and wedding—all celebrated in signature Duggar style. Unlike many of Josiah’s siblings, the couple stepped away from public life shortly after welcoming their first child, Bella, in 2019.
After a miscarriage in 2018, the pair opted for privacy, leading fans to speculate about their lives. Little did anyone know, the couple was preparing for an extraordinary surprise.
The Secret Pregnancy
Lauren’s pregnancy remained entirely under wraps—a rare feat in the Duggar world. Fans noticed the couple’s absence from recent family events, sparking curiosity. However, even some extended family members were unaware of the news until shortly before the twins’ arrival.
The announcement came on June 21, 2025, when Lauren shared an Instagram photo of two tiny pairs of feet wrapped in pastel swaddles. The caption read:
“Double the bliss! It is an incredible blessing for us to bring our adorable twins into the world. The plan that God has for us is always ahead of our own. June 20, 2025—our hearts are overflowing with joy.”
Meet Levi and Eden Duggar
The twins, a boy and a girl, were born healthy and full-term at a local Arkansas hospital. Their names, Levi Gabriel and Eden Grace, have thrilled fans, reflecting the Duggar tradition of choosing theologically meaningful names.
“Levi and Eden are perfect—simple, timeless, and beautiful,” one fan commented.
A Full-Circle Moment
For Josiah and Lauren, the birth of their twins symbolizes hope and healing. Their 2018 miscarriage was one of the most heart-wrenching moments in Counting On history. Now, the couple celebrates what fans are calling a “redemption arc.”
Lauren expressed her gratitude in an emotional Instagram story:
“After everything we’ve been through, from suffering to healing, God has doubled our blessing. These miracles have already changed our world forever.”
Fans React with Joy
The Duggar fanbase has responded with enthusiasm. Social media lit up with comments like:
-
“Not Josiah and Lauren giving us a stealth pregnancy, private birth, and gender reveal all in one post. Iconic!”
-
“This is such a beautiful surprise. Let them enjoy their peace!”
Even family members joined in the celebration. Jessa Seewald exclaimed, “Two babies!” while Jill Dillard added, “Blessings on blessings. So thrilled for you!”
Why the Secrecy?
The couple’s decision to keep their pregnancy private stems from a desire for peace and intimacy. After experiencing loss and public scrutiny, Josiah and Lauren chose to savor this chapter away from the spotlight.
“They wanted to focus inward, free from external pressures,” shared a family insider. Fans have praised their choice, calling it mature and protective.
What’s Next for the Family of Five?
With three children under six, including newborn twins, Josiah and Lauren are entering a whirlwind parenting phase. While fans are eager for updates, the couple has no plans to return to the public eye. For now, this heartwarming Instagram post may be their last for a while.
Final Thoughts
In a family known for its drama and large numbers, Josiah and Lauren’s quiet, sacred journey stands out. Their twins, Levi and Eden, are a double blessing that marks a new chapter in their lives.
