'Counting On's Jessa Duggar Sends a Direct Message to Fan Asking If She's 'Pregnant Again'
Counting On star Jessa Duggar wasn't having any of the ongoing rumors about her expecting her sixth child, shutting down a fan who claimed she looked pregnant.
The mother of five shared a sweet photo on Instagram of her family posing together on a beautiful beach, although it's unclear exactly where the photo was taken.
Jessa stood in the back holding her youngest, George, while her husband, Ben Seewald, stood tall behind her. In front of the couple, their four other kids, Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy and Fern, stood side by side smiling at the camera.
"So grateful for these blessings 🤍," she wrote in the caption.
While many fans complimented the reality TV star on her happy family, with notes like, "How gorgeous!!! Love seeing how the children have grown up…. Makes my day!!!🤠💕🤠," and "Beautiful!! They’re all growing so fast! ❤️," some questioned whether or not she was pregnant again.
A few wrote, "She looks prego again," and "And another on the way I heard?" with others calling them out for making assumptions and being "rude."
When a third said, "Jess looks pregnant again," Jessa decided to directly address the rumors herself, cheekily replying, "Not pregnant. Just too much ice cream on vacation. 😆."
The fan whose comment Jessa responded to wrote back, "so glad you're just happy and healthy! Everyone loves ice cream!"
Others complimented Jessa in support, writing, "love your sense of humor," and "you look beautiful as always 😊."
Jessa and her husband welcomed their son George in late December 2023, not publicly sharing his gender or name until after he was born.
The couple got married in 2014 and they had their first child, Spurgeon, in November 2015. They had Henry in February 2017, Ivy in May 2019, and Fern in July 2021.
