Reality Star Jinger Announces Third Pregnancy: It’s a Boy!
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Reality star Jinger Duggar, 31, revealed on Jan. 14, 2025, that she and her husband Jeremy Vuolo, 37, are expecting a baby boy, marking their third child together. The couple, who already have two daughters, shared the news three months after announcing the pregnancy.
“We’re having a boy and we’re very excited,” Jinger told PEOPLE. “I was so shocked to find out it was a boy, because I feel like everything felt the same. I actually had a lot of similarities to the pregnancy with the girls.”
Jinger admitted the news came as a surprise, especially after raising two daughters. “I was so shocked, I almost fell off my chair,” she laughed. “Having a boy is a foreign thing to us. I was like, ‘How is this boy gonna fit in?’ But we are keeping the name a secret until the baby’s born, which is what we always do.”
The couple has faced less criticism about baby names by waiting until after the birth to reveal them. “We’ve had friends who’ve had issues with people saying, ‘Oh, I’m gonna share the name, and then no one likes it,'” Jinger explained. “But once that baby’s born, everybody thinks it’s the cutest name ever. So that’s our motto, our theory on it.”
PEOPLE exclusively announced Jinger’s pregnancy in October 2024, with the baby due in March 2025. The couple, who married in November 2016, are parents to daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3.
Jinger expressed relief that her pregnancy isn’t during the summer months. “I’m actually all about it. Especially in the heat the past few days, I think I’m not super big pregnant, so I’m not having to worry about the extra heat,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer.'”
Jeremy also shared his reaction to the pregnancy news, recalling the moment Jinger told him. “When she told me, I was literally speechless,” he said. “She got me good. It was on Felicity’s birthday. Jinger says, ‘I’ve got a gift for you.’ It was in an Amazon bag. So I’m thinking, ‘What did she get from Amazon for me?’ Then I open it up and it’s the positive result, and I’m actually speechless.”
