The rumors of baby number three for the couple have been going on for months. Fans believed that one of their friends had already accidentally hinted that their third baby was on the way.

The rumors of Duggar's pregnancy started in October 2021 and continued until June 2022. However, the couple has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors.

Duggar and Forsyth grew up as friends and had known each other for 15 years before marriage. They met when Forsyth's family moved to Arkansas and started attending the same church as the Duggar family.

Forsyth had admired her for years, and when it was time to take their friendship to the next level, he had to ask her father for permission to court her as it was the tradition of the Duggar family.

Courtship for the Duggar family meant a monitored dating, prohibiting most physical contact except for holding hands and side hugs. After announcing their courtship in November 2016, they got engaged in March 2017 and married on May 26, 2017.

"I was a pretty patient person until I had kids!"

On their fifth wedding anniversary, Duggar took to her Instagram to reveal that they had dated for seven years, which confused their fans as her family is strict fundamentalists. As a rule, there is a short courting period before marriage.

On August 21, 2020, the couple welcomed another daughter, Evelyn Mae. They waited until she was born before they settled for a name. Duggar said:

"We had a hard time deciding, but after a few days finally settled on 'Evy Mae,' and we think it fits her perfectly!"

In February 2022, Duggar revealed that their son was falling a little behind in areas of communication and comprehension. After an evaluation with the Regional Therapy Services, the couple learned that their son had many strengths in his developmental abilities.
