Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are expecting a baby girl, their fourth child. The reveal went down on the October 28 episode of“Call Your Sister,”the podcast Joy co-hosts with her sister Jinger. The couple, who announced the pregnancy in September, kept the sex a secret for nearly six weeks before sharing it with listeners.
The family reactions are the highlight. Daughter Evelyn, 5, was, in Joy’s words,“literally jumping around screaming”over the news, while sons Gideon, 8, and Gunner, 3, were simply excited about a new sibling. Joy also admitted she had been convinced she was having another boy, which made the reveal a genuine surprise even for her.
The baby is due in 2027, and the couple addressed family size in the same conversation. Joy said four or five kids was always her plan, though Austin has raised the idea that they might be done after this one. What do you think — is four the perfect number, or is there always room for one more?
