A New Chapter in L.A.: Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo Welcome Baby Boy Finnegan
LOS ANGELES, California — Jinger Duggar Vuolo and her husband Jeremy have officially introduced their third child, a son named Finnegan Charles Vuolo, marking a significant milestone for the couple as they continue to forge a life independent of the traditional Duggar family norms.
Born in the early hours of March 29, 2025, Finnegan arrived weighing 8 lbs. 1 oz. and measuring 21 inches long. He was warmly welcomed by his two older sisters, Felicity (6) and Evangeline (4).
The Story Behind the Name
While many of Jinger’s siblings have stuck to biblical or alliterative naming themes, the Vuolos chose a name that balances “strength and charm.”
-
Finnegan: Jeremy originally suggested the name, which the couple felt carried a “certain gravity” and a sense of adventure. They plan to use the nickname “Finn.”
-
Charles: The middle name honors the Vuolo side of the family, as both Jeremy’s father and brother share the name.

Healing After Heartbreak
The birth of Finnegan carries deep emotional weight for Jinger, who has been open about her past miscarriage. She noted that this pregnancy was filled with reflection, and the arrival of her son brought a “wave of healing awe” that washed away the lingering anxieties of the past.
Jinger credited her sisters, Joy-Anna Forsyth and sister-in-law Lauren Duggar, for their support during her journey through loss and subsequent “rainbow” pregnancies.
Redefining Family Values
The couple’s approach to parenting Finnegan reflects their shift away from the ultra-conservative IBLP teachings Jinger was raised with. In their announcement, they expressed a commitment to raising their children with:
-
Critical Thinking: Encouraging their children to ask questions.
-
Personal Identity: Allowing them the freedom to discover who they are on their own terms.
-
Spiritual Independence: Maintaining their Christian faith while stepping back from legalistic traditions.
The Sibling Bond
In a touching vlog shared on March 30, viewers caught a glimpse of the moment Felicity and Evangeline met their baby brother. Wearing “Big Sis” jackets, the girls were the first to learn the baby’s name before excitedly sharing the secret with their grandmother, Michelle Duggar, who was present at the hospital.
As they settle into life as a family of five, Jinger hinted that while she once felt “set” with two children, three feels like the “perfect number” for their Los Angeles lifestyle.
