“This Wasn’t Supposed To Happen…” 😨 Jessa’s 6th Baby Arrives With A SHOCKING Surprise… Family Is Stunned! 🤯
Jessa Duggar Seawald, 31, and her husband Ben Seawald, 29, have announced the birth of their sixth child, a baby girl named Selah Grace Seawald. The couple shared the news in a heartfelt birth story video on their YouTube channel, introducing their daughter to the world. The arrival is particularly meaningful for the family, as Jessa described the newborn as a “rainbow after the storm,” referencing a heartbreaking miscarriage she suffered in 2021.
This pregnancy was notably more private than their previous ones, a conscious decision the couple made to find “peace” and “bond as a family” after their prior loss. In their announcement video, Ben Seawald’s emotional reaction was a focal point for many fans. He was described as an overjoyed “girl dad,” visibly moved while holding baby Selah, and expressing how his heart “grows all over again” with the new addition to their family.
The new baby joins five older siblings: Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy, Fern, and George, all under the age of ten. The Seawalds’ home is described as a chaotic but love-filled environment, and while Jessa has said they are “done for now” with having more children, they will continue to share moments of their life with followers. However, they plan to do so with an increased focus on protecting their children’s privacy as they navigate life as a growing family.
