Reality-television personality Jana Duggar said she and her husband, Stephen Wissmann, are expecting their first child, with the baby due in January 2026. The couple disclosed the news on 18 August in a joint Instagram post that included photographs from a maternity shoot and the message, “We are so excited… eagerly looking forward to this thrilling new chapter.” Duggar, 35, and Wissmann, 32, met through their families in 2011, rekindled their relationship in early 2024, and married that August in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Duggar is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, whose family life was chronicled on TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” from 2008 until the network canceled the series in 2015. The pregnancy marks a milestone for the Duggar family’s highest-profile unmarried sibling, who had previously spoken about doubts of settling down after most of her brothers and sisters wed in their early 20s.
