So, when did their little love make its arrival, and what moniker did they go with? Keep reading for more details on this beautiful moment.
Jana Duggar & Stephen Wissmann Welcome 1st Baby
It has been a long road for Counting On alum Jana Duggar. She had long taken care of her many siblings, and it was questioned if she would get married and start a family of her own. Fortunately, she found her soulmate in Stephen Wissmann and the two tied the knot in August 2024. Followers were eager to see if they were having a baby sometime soon, and sure enough, in early 2025, they announced that they were expecting. Along with her twin brother, John-David Duggar, they did a joint gender reveal.
Jana was thrilled to learn that she was having a baby boy. She also would show off her bump, and fans loved seeing the progress as he due date approached. Some outlets claimed that she had already given birth, but that was false. Now, it is official, and Jana is a new mother as her son, Archie Gerald Wissmann, is now earthside. He made his arrival on December 30, 2025, but the new parents took some time to take it all in before sharing the big news. The Lincoln, Nebraska-based couple shared some sweet snaps as a family of three, embracing Archie.
The Counting On alum was beaming as she held her son, as did her husband. They were glowing as they embarked on this beautiful journey of parenthood together, and followers could see it. Not only did Jana Duggar’s siblings chime in with comments, but so did the Bates family. Due to their similarities, the reality families have grown close over the years. So, to have the extra support is really special to see.
This Is Meant To Be
