Jinger Duggar Vuolo recently returned to her childhood home in Arkansas for an emotional family visit, just three months after welcoming her son Finnegan with husband Jeremy Vuolo. On her July 2nd podcast episode, she opened up about the wide range of emotions she experienced leading up to the spontaneous trip. While Jinger loves going back to visit, she admitted it can feel overwhelming—especially now that she lives so far away in Los Angeles. “When you come home after living away, everyone wants to see you,” she said, adding that only a few of her siblings still live at the Duggar house. Now 31 and a mother of three, Jinger explained that spending time with family can be hard to juggle. She also shared how different the family home felt this time around. Once a noisy, messy place filled with nearly 20 children, it was now quiet and tidy.
Walking into a perfectly clean house in the middle of a weekday made her realize how much has changed. The home that once symbolized constant activity now holds just a few grown-up siblings. Despite the changes, Jinger found comfort in reconnecting with loved ones, especially her mother Michelle, who welcomed her with a warm meal. Though her visit was emotional—especially considering her evolving beliefs and personal growth—Jinger expressed deep love for her family. She reflected on how far she’s come, from growing up in a strict religious household to building a new life in Los Angeles. Even though she’s taken a different path, she said, “It’s okay to love the people who raised you, even if you no longer walk the same path.”
