The couple tied the knot in 2017 and they share two other young children: Garrett, 2, and Addison, who was born in November.

Kendra Duggar, 22, said she was “absolutely super shocked” to find out she was expecting again, less than a year after welcoming her last child.

“I was not expecting another pregnancy soon, but I had symptoms that made me think I should take a test,” she said in a video on TLC’s website.

She added that she is excited to see how Garrett and Addison react to having a younger brother or sister.

“I just remember when Addy was born, Garrett did not really understand very well that she … was his sister until he got older,” she said, “so I think I’m a little jealous to see how Garret responds, now that he is older, with another sister. “

‘I know it’s definitely going to be a challenge now that we’re too big,’ her husband shrugged. ‘There will be two of us up to three children. That we’ll just be busy, but we’m pretty busy already. “

Kendra Duggar, born Caldwell, also comes from a large family and has seven brothers and sisters.

Joe Duggar, 25, is the seventh child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and he appeared alongside his siblings on TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting”, which ran until it was canceled in 2015, following the revelation that eldest brother Josh Duggar five had molested children, including four of his sisters, a decade earlier.
