How many children the Duggar siblings will have is a hot topic.

There are some who viewers think will welcome several children, perhaps even rivaling their parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

However, Joy-Anna Duggar doesn’t appear to be one of the siblings who will have more than a bunch of kids.

During a recent Instagram Q&a session, the Counting On star addressed how many children she and Austin Forsyth will likely welcome.

The couple has goals they want to accomplish, and while they have experienced some tough times, they aren’t done having kids yet.

Here’s what we know about Joy-Anna Duggar and how many children she wants.

How many children does Joy-Anna Duggar want?

One of the questions during her Instagram Q&a session, Joy-Anna Duggar, received a question about how many children she wanted.

It asked whether she was considering 19 children; the short answer was no.

Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are spending quality time together ahead of the hustle and bustle of Christmas.

The Counting On couple headed to South Carolina earlier this week to spend time without the kids as Austin celebrates his birthday.

Things seem to be what they expected from the photos Joy-Anna shared on her Instagram page.

They are staying at Bolt Farm Treehouse in Walhalla, South Carolina.

It is a huge draw for tourists from all over and offers a unique experience for guests who want a one-of-a-kind experience.

Given Austin’s love of the outdoors, it was the perfect choice for his birthday getaway.

Joy-Anna Duggar shares Treehouse snaps

On Instagram, Joy-Anna Duggar revealed she and Austin Forsyth decided to get away for a few days.

They chose a three-night stay in the Bolt Farm Treehouse in South Carolina.

She captioned her share, “3 night getaway to @boltfarmtreehouse South Carolina Treehouse.

It seems Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo are always traveling somewhere.

The Counting On couple was recently in Texas, where they found time to catch up with Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey.

Jinger hosted Thanksgiving at their Los Angeles home, and they jetted off to Texas the week after.

While they didn’t share much about what happened in Texas, Jinger was sure to share a snap of her little family with Justin, Claire, and some friends.

They enjoyed some Texas barbeque, which likely was a highlight for the couple who lived in Texas before moving to California.

In the photo, Jinger blocked Felicity and Evangeline’s faces, as they typically do these days.

Jason Duggar and Maddie Grace Jones celebrated their first holiday together as a married couple.

This holiday season will mark a series of firsts for the newlyweds who tied the knot in early October.

They traveled to Tennessee to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family after she moved to Arkansas with him following their wedding.

Maddie Grace shared photos of the couple posing in front of the Christmas tree, which is presumably up inside her family’s home.

Interestingly, she captioned the share that she was “thankful to be home for the holidays,” which begs the question of whether they will spend Christmas with her family too.

With Jason and Maddie not at the Big House and Joy-Anna Duggar and Jill Duggar celebrating with their husbands’ families, Thanksgiving may have been scaled back for the Duggar family.

Will Jason Duggar and Maddie Grace Jones be the new Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey?...

Fans are asking if Jason Duggar went on a Honeymoon in Greece.

They also speculate that he and his new bride may have broken some Duggar rules. And no, it’s not the ones that you think.

In early October, Jason Duggar married Maddie Grace.

Fans have some accusations — and, perhaps, misunderstandings — about Jason’s post-nuptial plans with his new wife.

On October 3, Jason Duggar married Maddie Grace. The two had only been engaged for a couple of months, and had only been in a relationship — or close enough to one, by Duggar standards — for three months before that.

The sprawling guest list included many Duggars. So, too, did the wedding party. Jedidiah Duggar served as Jason’s Best Man.

Jinger Duggar has a way of making followers question her methods.

The Counting On star has been sharing more of her day-to-day life, which recently included a trip to the popular store Trader Joe’s.

She was sharing her haul, which included plenty of organic produce and various other things the store had to offer.

Jinger included Felicity and Evangeline, who helped get the groceries into the cart.

Some of her favorites were highlighted, including pasta, ready-to-make meals, and treats for her daughters.

However, how things were done irked Jinger’s followers, who couldn’t help but call out the reality TV star.

Counting On alum Jason Duggar proposed to Maddie Grace in late August after announcing their courtship in June. Now they tied the knot in Tennessee, and many family members arrived to share their special day.

Jason And Maddie Grace Married In A Hurry

It’s not clear why the couple married so fast, but some TLC fans might think she should have held off. It seems that allegedly, Jason failed to renew his construction business license. Having contracted to undertake a lot of work, he failed to mention that, and the plaintiff is suing him for misrepresentation. Allegedly, he hasn’t completed all the work and wants to try and get out of it.

Jason Duggar has other income streams, so if necessary he could fall back on his tree-trimming venture to support his new wife, Maddie Grace. As for the wedding, as the Counting On family seems very conservative,...

Jason Duggar married Maddie Grace Jones in Newport, Tennessee.

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard drove up for the festivities, and she wasted no time taking photos with family members she doesn’t see often.

Because Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo live in California, spending time with them hasn’t been easy. However, between Jana Duggar’s wedding and Jason and Maddie’s, Jill and Derick spent time with them.

Justin Duggar and his wife, Claire Spivey, attended the Tennessee wedding. They are based in Texas, and Justin was one of Jason’s groomsmen.

To make the best of their time together, Jill snapped photos with her siblings that she shared on her Instagram Story.

We have to wonder why some of them didn’t make the cut, though.

Here comes the bride – at lightening speed!

Jason Duggar’s wedding details were being kept as hush hush as the identity of his bride. But perhaps the couple didn’t have time to talk about the wedding because they had so little time to plan it!

After just a two month engagement, Jason tied the knot with his beloved Maddie in a not-so-small ceremony in Tennessee.

Here’s what Jason would look like if he got cold feet on his wedding day. (We’re sure that won’t happen – right?) (TLC/Youtbe) The Wedding Details

Jason and Maddie’s quickie wedding happened on Oct. 3, 2024, at The Estate at Sweetwater Creek.

Jason, the 12th child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, tied the knot with his girlfriend Maddie Grace in front of 300 family members and friends in a “breathtaking” fall ceremony, according to the couple via People Magazine.

Given the size of the guest list,...

Last month, Jason Duggar and Maddie Grace Jones announced their engagement.

It happened shortly after Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann and was done so that no attention was taken from her special day.

When Jason and Maddie shared their engagement announcement, they hinted at a Spring 2025 wedding, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

They are taking notes from Jana and Stephen and getting married quickly.

Typically, Duggar engagements last a few months and sometimes longer, but Jana and Stephen’s was two months, and it seems Jason and Maddie Grace will be less than that.

Here’s what we know about Jason and Maddie Grace’s wedding.

Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann on August 15, and the wedding photos are beginning to be leaked online.

The bride shared two carousels of photos, but other images have been made public.

Much of the ceremony and reception were traditional, with Jim Bob Duggar walking his daughter down the aisle as he did with all her sisters.

However, Jana’s attire and the dresses she chose for her bridesmaids weren’t exactly what would be expected at a Duggar wedding.

There has been some speculation about what Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar thought about the wedding, but at 34, what could they say to Jana to change her mind?

Despite her gown choice and other wedding decisions, Jim Bob still showed off to “give her away.”

Jana Duggar’s wedding brought out her siblings and their spouses.

Photos from the event celebrating Jana’s marriage to Stephen Wissmann are slowly starting to be shared.

A few Duggar siblings, including Justin Duggar and his wife, Claire Spivey, have walked away from the spotlight.

The couple announced their relationship on Counting On, in what would become the series finale following Josh Duggar’s arrest and subsequent conviction on Csam (Child Sexual Abuse Material).

Justin and Claire’s courtship and wedding were not featured on television, and because of that, they seemingly stepped back from social media and settled into life in Texas.

However, Justin and Claire were spotted in one of the many images from Jana’s wedding.

However, she’s been reportedly linked with Stephen for quite some time, and many are glad that the two have finally settled down. But despite all the celebrations, Jana admitted that they’ve had a few rough years. Keep reading to see her shocking revelations.

Counting On: Jana Duggar & Stephen Wissmann’s Wedding

Jana and Stephen tied the knot on August 15 in a “classic, elegant” ceremony in Prairie Grove, Ark. The pair reportedly got engaged on June 15, meaning that things happened fast. It was also revealed that the newlyweds exchanged vows at the Grand at Willow Springs with 500 guests. Jessa Duggar Seewald was the maid of honor, while Abbie, Joy-Anna, Johannah, Jinger, and Jordyn were the bridesmaids.

Jana Duggar's unmarried status intrigues fans, with theories revolving around her personality and parents' influence. Fans are also concerned about Anna Duggar supporting her kids while Josh is in prison and are curious about Jill's relationship with Jim-Bob. Speculation abounds about Jana's engagement after appearing with a ring, but fans are left to wait for official confirmation.

For years, the Duggar family was a reality TV staple on TLC. Then, family drama and legal issues took almost all of the Duggars off the air. And yet, despite their reality series being defunct, former viewers are still invested in what's going on in the family's lives.

For one thing, fans are concerned about how Anna Duggar will support her and Josh's seven kids while he's in prison. They're also curious about Jill Duggar Dillard's relationship with patriarch Jim-Bob, after revelations came about over their family finances.

Joy-Anna Duggar shared some exciting news with her followers.

Gideon Forsyth celebrated his first day of school with a mini photoshoot.

There has been speculation about whether Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth would homeschool or send their kids to public school, as her older sisters chose a different option.

While he isn’t ready for kindergarten, it seems he is doing preschool at the four-year-old level.

The big news comes just one day after Joy-Anna and Austin returned home to their kids from their big Alaskan adventure.

A new week signaled a new step in life for the family.

Gideon Forsyth celebrates ‘First Day of School’

On Instagram, Joy-Anna Duggar was quick to share some adorable photos of Gideon Forsyth for his “First Day of School.”

He is only attending preschool, but kindergarten will be waiting for him next fall.

Just a few days after Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey tied the knot, the Counting On couple took to Instagram to share a video from their wedding day. The footage, shot by videographer Gabriel Johnson, captured several memorable moments. From the ceremony to the reception, the highlight reel captured it all. Fans also got another look at Claire's gorgeous gown and diamond ring. But perhaps one of the biggest moments was when the bride and groom shared their first kiss. As Justin's family has previously explained, the Duggars typically don't kiss anyone until they've said, "I do." After the smooch, the newlyweds smiled and shared a hug. And as they walked down the aisle,...

Another Duggar wedding is in the books: The famous family's 18-year-old son Justin Duggar is now a married man. The 14th child of Michelle Duggar and Jom Bob Duggar, who appeared with his parents and his siblings on the TLC reality shows 19 Kids and Counting and spinoff Counting On, wed 19-year-old Claire Spivey on Friday, Feb. 26. The two shared a wedding photo and a joint statement with E! News. "Today we have started a journey together that God crafted long before we ever knew it was meant to be," the couple said. "We are so thankful for the love of Christ that has brought our lives together and teaches us what real love looks like. There is no greater joy than...

Derick Dillard isn't holding back. The Counting On alum got a lot of attention after he responded to a follower asking why the Duggars marry at a young age. The question came up after his wife, Jill Duggar, posted a picture of her new hoop nose ring. However, a commenter had other things in mind and asked about Jill's brother, Justin Duggar, 18, getting engaged to Claire Spivey, 19, two months after announcing their courtship. "Why do you guys rush to marry life," the fan wrote. "He's a kid and Claire too!!!"  While Jill didn't respond to the question, Derick wasted no time weighing in, writing, "Because we want to have sex." The comment quickly...

It's official: Justin Duggar is ready to spend forever with Claire Spivey. Just two months after courting the 19-year-old, the Counting On star has taken a major step in his relationship. On Monday, Nov. 16, Justin shared the sweet and special news that he's engaged to Claire. "So excited to announce that we are engaged!! I will never forget the look on her face when I slid the ring on her finger," he captioned his post. "We look forward to the day that we get to begin the rest of our lives together!" Justin's big sister, Jill Duggar Dillard, couldn't contain her excitement over his news and replied, "Congrats bro! Being married to...

Justin Duggar is starting a new chapter.  The 17-year-old son of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar is courting Claire Spivey, TLC and the Duggar family announced on Monday, Sept. 21. In a video shared by the network, Justin and Claire offered details about their blossoming love story.  "Claire and I are excited to share that we are in a courtship," the teen, who appears on Counting On with his famous family, shared. "God brought Claire in my life and I wasn't really expecting it, but he brought her along right when I needed her. Ever since then I knew she was the one."  In fact, the Duggars and Spiveys have known each other for more than 20 years, but...

When it comes to telling the Duggar kids apart, even the most seasoned fans need a minute, especially when you're deciphering between the Lost Boys. Like seriously, who is Justin Duggar? Nevertheless, class participation skyrockets when the Duggars post a throwback picture shot and dare to ask us, "Can you guess who this is?" And you can guess all you want — we all know fans will try their damndest to identify — but you'll never get the clarification from the family. The Duggars Guessing Game is rigged so the only people who win are Jim Bob and Michelle. It's an aggravating challenge that questions "who?" and leaves you with "why?" And though I can't say for certain, I do have a theory... What if the Duggars are asking us to guess because they truly, truly don't remember? (Photo Credit: Facebook) We're going to use a few textbook examples of a Duggar...

With her baby bump out in full force and rumors that she and her husband are moving to Los Angeles, it seems like Jinger Duggar's still out there living her best life — but does it still include photography? Back in the day, the Duggar daughter used to do plenty of portrait shoots. She snapped official photos of her siblings all the time, and even shadowed a professional photographer in a webisode for Counting On posted to TLC's website. On the Duggar family website, photography is listed as one of her favorite pasttimes — and her family members have even referred to her as a professional wedding photographer. So what's happened since then? Jing still posts pretty pics on her Instagram, including ones that seem taken with a camera that's more professional and less iPhone, but we haven't heard about any recent photoshoots. We know she lives far away from...

We're not sure if you picked up on this, but here at In Touch we tend to keep track of the Duggar family members rather religiously. And yet, can we make a confession? We can recognize Jana and Jill next to a brace-faced Derick Dillard, or even Jessa sporting a slightly smug grin from a mile away. But when it gets to that second round of little kids, the ones that aren't announcing courtships, engagements, and babies, it gets way trickier. And yes, even when you cover the family five days a week, you struggle to tell the difference between the Jameses and the Jasons. Watch our video above to see which Duggars kids no one can tell apart. We put our team up to the test and were... well, terrified with the results, whether they were wrong or right. Sure, some of us could name the Duggar kids quicker than our biological cousins.

In recent months, the Duggars have found themselves mired in scandal.

The initial scandal broke in May, when a 2006 police report revealed that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's eldest son Josh had molested five underage girls as a teen. Two of his sisters, Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald subsequently stepped forward as two of the victims.

Following the news, TLC officially canceled the family's reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, after nine seasons.

In his statement regarding the molestation scandal, Josh claimed his mistakes were in the past – but three months later, reports revealed that he had signed up for Ashley Madison,...
