‘Counting On’s’ Joy-Anna Duggar Responds To Rumors She’s Pregnant Weeks After Giving Birth

“Counting On” fans have been speculating that Joy-Anna Duggar and husband Austin Forsyth are expecting their third child only weeks after welcoming their second baby, but the reality star is setting the record straight.

On Saturday, Duggar shared a series of heartwarming photos of her and Forsyth from a photoshoot that garnered varying reactions from fans.

“'He just needs a companion.’ Austin’s mom told this to me when we were dating; It’s so true. He just wants to have somebody with him and I love this about him! I’ll be your companion any day, baby,” Duggar wrote.

While many fans were in awe of the photos and called the scene “beautiful,” one follower commented, “Oh God she’s not pregnant again…”

But Duggar was not having any of it and clapped back at the fan.

“I have a 9-week-old,” she wrote, referring to daughter Evelyn, her second child.

Another follower noted that Duggar still has puffy hands despite giving birth two months ago. One fan also noticed that the mom-of-two wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.

“No, my fingers were swollen during pregnancy and I haven’t put my wedding band back on,” Duggar responded.

Since welcoming Evelyn in August, Duggar and Forsyth had to deal with a lot of naysayers, who had many things to say about their parenting skills. Earlier this month, the “Counting On” star was criticized for the way she cradled her newborn.

On Oct. 5, Duggar shared a family photo of her, Forsyth, son Gideon and daughter Evelyn with the caption, “Church this morning!” While most fans had no problem with the pictures, some slammed Duggar over how she carried her baby, fearing that she might drop her.

“Haha! Thank you for your concern! I was holding Evy and then Gideon was trying to hold my hand! I wasn’t about to drop her tho!” Duggar explained.

Her supporters came to her defense and explained that a mother wouldn’t let anything happen to her child. Other fans pointed out that Duggar’s other hand was supporting the baby from under.

Duggar and Forsyth welcomed Evelyn in August after suffering a miscarriage in 2019.
