The Duggar family is growing once again. 19 Kids and Counting alums Jana Duggar Wissmann and her twin brother, John-David Duggar, celebrated a joint gender reveal with their spouses, confirming a baby boy for Jana and Stephen Wissmann and a baby girl for John-David and Abbie Burnett Duggar.
The reveal unfolded in a new vlog on Jana’s YouTube channel, where the extended family gathered to mark the milestone together. The video captured the lead-up, the family’s guesses, and the celebratory moment itself, adding another memorable chapter to the Duggars’ tradition of sharing life updates with fans.
A Family-Focused Reveal Captured On Camera
Before the big moment, relatives chimed in with predictions about each baby’s sex, keeping the mood light and playful. Among the correct guessers was the twins’ younger sister Jessa Duggar Seewald, who confidently called it ahead of time: “I think Jana’s having a boy, I think Abbie’s having a girl,” she said in the vlog.
The two couples then stood side by side in front of a white backdrop that read “He or She?” as they prepared to set off smoke cannons. In a synchronized reveal, blue smoke burst for Jana and Stephen, confirming they’re expecting a son, while pink smoke filled the air for John-David and Abbie, indicating a daughter on the way.
John-David and Abbie’s children, Grace and Charlie, were on hand for the celebration, making the family moment even more personal. The coordinated reveal captured the siblings’ close bond and the Duggars’ characteristic group celebrations, a hallmark of how the family shares their news.
The vlog format also gave fans a candid look at the day’s atmosphere, focusing on the simple excitement of family reactions and the ease of a low-key party. It was a straightforward, upbeat reveal that stayed true to how the Duggars have traditionally marked big milestones on camera.
Pregnancy Updates From Jana & Abbie
Both expectant moms have been sharing pregnancy check-ins on social media. On September 24, Jana posted a photo highlighting her bump and reflected on the experience so far: “Halfway through pregnancy and I’m still in awe! It sure has flown by! I love feeling those tiny kicks these days!” The caption struck a grateful, grounded tone as she marked the midway point.
Abbie followed with an update on September 27 via her and John-David’s joint Instagram account, offering a candid note about her early months: “A little over half way! We had a pretty rough go of it the first half and I am so thankful to be feeling much more like myself again! God is good! #pregnant #hyperemesis” Her message acknowledged a challenging start while emphasizing relief and renewed energy in the second half of her pregnancy.
Together, the updates paint a clear picture: both pregnancies have reached the halfway mark, both families are excited, and the joint reveal was an opportunity to celebrate that momentum side by side. The shared timing made the joint party an easy fit and a natural extension of the twins’ connection.
A Milestone Moment For The Duggar Family
With these two babies on the way, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are set to welcome their 40th and 41st grandchildren, a notable benchmark for one of reality TV’s most well-known large families. For longtime viewers of 19 Kids and Counting and its follow-up series, these moments act as check-ins on how the next generation is growing and changing.
While the reveal itself was the headline, the video also underscored how the Duggars now use platforms like YouTube and Instagram to share updates that once might have unfolded on television. Jana’s vlog captured the family-first spirit that defined their early public years while keeping the production small and personal.
The event also spotlighted the dynamic between the twins. From the joint party to the simultaneous smoke cannons, the presentation doubled down on their shared milestone, letting both families celebrate together rather than separately. It’s the kind of coordinated moment the Duggars have embraced across weddings, births, and birthdays for years.
For fans, the combination of at-home footage, family participation, and direct quotes from social media provided a clear, confirmed snapshot of what’s next: a baby boy for Jana and Stephen and a baby girl for John-David and Abbie. The reveal offered answers without teasing a mystery for long, keeping the focus on the excitement of the news itself.
There’s no public due date attached to either pregnancy yet, but both families noted they’re past the halfway point, suggesting late-winter or spring arrivals. In the meantime, the vlog and Instagram posts serve as the latest touchpoints for those following along, with more updates likely to come as the countdown continues.
As the Duggars prepare to add two more little ones to the fold, the joint reveal stands as a tidy, celebratory entry in the family’s ongoing story. A boy and a girl are on the way—and for the Duggars, it’s another milestone best shared together.
