Jedidiah “Jed” Duggar and his wife, Katey, have set what has been described as an “insane” new record for the Duggar family by having four children in under four years of marriage. The couple, who wed in April 2021, are parents to son Truett (born May 2022), daughter Nora (May 2023), and twin daughters, Elsie and Emma, who were born in January 2025. This rapid pace meant that for a brief period, the couple had four children aged two and under, a feat that even outpaced Jed’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, in the early years of their own family growth.
During a June 2025 appearance on the podcast hosted by his sister Jinger Vuolo and her husband Jeremy, the couple addressed their future family plans. Contrary to rumors of wanting ten or more children, Jed and Katey clarified that their goal is to have “five or six” children in total. Katey emphasized that for now, they are taking a “sabbatical” from having more children to enjoy the ones they have during this “insanely busy season,” particularly with two infants at home.
The couple’s rapid family expansion has been a topic of intense discussion among fans, with many expressing concern for Katey’s well-being after multiple back-to-back pregnancies. While there are no credible reports of the couple getting their own spin-off TV show, their recent podcast interview has provided a direct look into their family life, highlighting the continued public fascination with the reproductive choices of the next generation of the Duggar family.
