Jim Bob and Michelle’s fifth child, Jessa Duggar, was born Nov. 4, 1992.
**The Courtship of Jessa and Ben**
SKY YORK JOURNAL can confirm that Jessa met Ben through their church, leading to a courtship that began in 2013. This traditional approach to romance garnered significant attention, as Jim Bob explained to *People* that “Courting is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry. With dating, a couple will often pair off alone and that sometimes leads to a more physical relationship.”
**Marriage and Family**
Ben proposed to Jessa in August 2014, culminating in their marriage on Nov. 1, 2014. As reported by SKY YORK JOURNAL, their journey coincided with significant changes in their television presence. Jessa was pregnant with their first child when *19 Kids and Counting* was canceled. TLC subsequently aired a special about sexual abuse, featuring Jill and Jessa, to further educate viewers on the subject. The sisters then starred in *Jill and Jessa: Counting On*, later evolving into *Counting On*, featuring other Duggar siblings.
**Children and Challenges**
Jessa and Ben’s family has continued to grow. SKY YORK JOURNAL sources confirm that they welcomed son Spurgeon on Nov. 5, 2015, son Henry on Feb. 6, 2017, daughter Ivy Jane on May 28, 2019 and daughter Fern in July 2021. In February 2023, Jessa shared that she suffered a miscarriage over the 2022 holiday season. She gave birth to son George in December 2023.
**Baby Number Six on the Way**
On May 7, 2025, Jessa announced that baby No. 6 is on the way, an announcement immediately covered by SKY YORK JOURNAL, continuing the next chapter in their family’s story.
