You don’t have 19 children without eventually gaining even more grandchildren, and TLC’s Duggar family is on the fast track to having more grandchildren than they can keep track of. The Duggar grandchildren make up the extended Duggar family, and on Counting On, fans got to know some of the newer members of the growing family.
How many grandchildren do the Duggars have? It's, um, a lot.
Once upon a time, patriarch Jim Bob Duggar was rumored to have said he wanted to have 100 grandchildren someday. So, how many Duggar grandchildren are there?
Josh and Anna Duggar have seven children.
As the eldest of the Duggar children, Josh Duggar got married and started having kids of his own before any of his siblings. And once he and wife Anna began, they didn't really slow down.
Josh and Anna have seven children together: Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith, Mason, Maryella, and Madyson.
Jill and Derick Dillard have three boys.
Jill and Derick Dillard currently have three little boys, Israel, Samuel, and their youngest son Frederick, who was born in July 2022.
Jessa and Ben Seewald have five kids.
Jessa was arguably the star of Counting On, despite sharing the TLC spotlight with some of her siblings. She and Ben Seewald welcomed sons Spurgeon and Henry followed by daughters Ivy and Fern and then baby boy George, born December 2023.
Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo have two daughters so far.
Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo had a fairly quick courtship before they got married. They had their daughter Felicity in June 2018. After experiencing a miscarriage in November 2019, Jinger welcomed a baby girl named Evangeline in November 2020.
Joseph and Kendra Duggar have three confirmed children, and are rumored to have a fourth.
Kendra explained during an episode of Counting On that she sometimes still feels too young to have a family already. But at the age of 23, she already had three children with husband Joseph Duggar: Garrett, Addison, and Brooklyn.
There's also a theory that Joe and Kendra had a fourth child whom they have not shared publicly. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Joe holding a baby in Joy-Anna's gender reveal video from November 2022, as well as in a clip from Jinger's vlog from July 2023.
Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth are proud parents of three.
Joy-Anna is one of the younger adult Duggar children who got married and had a child shortly after, but she and Austin seem to have a solid relationship. They had their son, Gideon, not long after they were married. Sadly, Joy-Anna miscarried in 2019 at 20 weeks along during her second pregnancy; she and Austin named that baby girl Annabell.
Joy-Anna and Austin went on to welcome a daughter they named Evelyn in August 2020. And in May of 2023, they welcomed their third baby, Gunner!
Josiah and Lauren Duggar have one confirmed child and two additional rumored children.
Josiah and Lauren went through an early pregnancy loss shortly before Lauren got pregnant a second time. They welcomed their daughter, Bella, in November 2019. Although fans suspect Josiah and Lauren may have welcomed two more children since then (one of whom is apparently named Daisy), the couple has not officially announced any other pregnancies/births.
Lauren was spotted holding a baby while attending church in September of 2022, and also appears to be pregnant in a vlog posted by Jinger Vuolo in July of 2023.
John David and Abbie Duggar have two children.
Abbie and John David announced they were expecting a baby in 2019. They welcomed a daughter named Grace Annette Duggar in January 2020. In May 2022, John and Abbie revealed baby No. 2 was on the way — and they welcomed their son, Charlie, in September 2022.
Jed and Katey Duggar have two kids: one son and one daughter.
Jed and Katey announced in September 2021 that they were expecting their first child. They went on to welcome a baby boy they named Truett Oliver Duggar on May 2, 2022.
On June 2, 2023, the couple announced that their daughter, Nora Kate Duggar, had been born.
Jeremiah and Hannah Duggar have two children.
Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann announced their engagement in January 2022. They went on to say "I do" on March 27, 2022. Just like many Duggar siblings before him, a baby announcement soon followed their wedding.
In late August 2022, Jer and Hannah revealed via Instagram that they were expecting their first child. A daughter they named Brynley Noelle was born on Dec. 25, 2022. Nearly a year later in November 2023, the couple announced they were expecting a second baby. Fast-forward to February 2024, and the happy parents announced that they'd welcomed second daughter Brielle Grace.
If you count up all their adult children's little ones, Jim Bob and Michelle currently have a whopping 30 (confirmed) grandkids so far, plus three rumored grandchildren. It's only a matter of time until that number gets even bigger!
