Jessa and Ben Seewald already have six children, including an infant. While they are keeping their future plans quiet, they have long suggested they are letting their faith lead the way. Still, Duggar family followers suspect the pair has at least some sort of preference when it comes to their family plans. Jessa Seewald may have just revealed her preference in a new YouTube upload. Critics think they know exactly how many kids Jessa Seewald wants, and her gender preferences, too.

Jessa Seewald may have subtly revealed she wants eight children

Jessa Seewald recently took to YouTube to update her followers on her life and how things have been going with six kids. She showed viewers around her house at one point in the video. During her chatter about picture frames, Jessa may have revealed exactly how many children she wants and the gender she would prefer.

In the video, Jessa showed off a photo wall, noting that she had purchased two more frames in case the lord blessed them with more children. The number of frames she purchased suggests that the mother of six might be interested in becoming a mother of eight. An eagle-eyed Reddit user pointed out that the frames also seemed to match the style she chose for her daughters. The detail seems to suggest that Jessa might be hoping for two girls to join the family. Two more girls would even out the numbers. The couple currently has four sons and two daughters.

They already are parents to six children

If she wants it to happen, it probably will too. At the very least, we can safely assume Jessa and Ben Seewald will have at least two more children. The couple has welcomed six children together in just 11 years of marriage, so more is hardly out of the question.

The pair met when Ben traveled with his family to the Duggar family’s church in hopes of meeting them. It worked out, and he and Jessa married in November 2014. Months later, they announced they were expecting. Their first son, Spurgeon Elliot Seewald, arrived in November 2015. They welcomed their second child, Henry Wilberforce, in 2017.

In 2019, they announced the birth of their first daughter, Ivy Jane. Fern Eliana joined the family in 2021. They welcomed a December baby in 2023 when George Augustine was born just days before Christmas. Their sixth child, Edward Owen, joined the family in 2025. Considering the rate at which the pair welcome children, baby number seven could arrive as early as 2027.
