Jinger Duggar Vuolo is going to be the mother of a boy!
On January 14, the 31-year-old reality star revealed the gender of her third child with husband Jeremy Vuola, 37, three months after they announced their pregnancy news.
“We’re having a boy and we’re very excited,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I was so shocked when I found out it was a boy, because I feel like everything is the same. I actually had a lot of similarities with being pregnant with girls.”

“I was so shocked, I almost fell off my chair,” she laughed, adding that having a boy was a “foreign thing” for the couple after welcoming two girls. “I thought, ‘How is this boy going to fit in?’ But we’re keeping the name a secret until the baby’s born, which we always do.”
Jinger noted that the two faced less “judgment” with the names after choosing to wait until the baby was born.
“We’ve had friends who have had issues with people being like, ‘Oh, I’m going to share the name and then no one likes it,'” she explained. “But when that baby is born, everyone thinks it’s the cutest name ever. So that’s our motto, our theory about it.”
In October 2024, PEOPLE exclusively revealed that Jinger was expecting her third child, due in March 2025. The couple, who married in November 2016, already have daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3.

Jinger Duggar admits she was ‘afraid’ to have children because of her upbringing: I thought it was ‘my destiny’
“We are super excited,” she said and added that she was relieved that she was not pregnant during the summer. “I’m actually all about it. Especially with the heat the last few days, I don’t think I’m really pregnant and I don’t have to worry about the extra heat. I’m like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such a great thing to go through pregnancy and not in the summer. .'”

Jeremy also told PEOPLE that he was “still shocked” when he found out about the pregnancy even though the news was something he expected.
– When she told me, I was literally speechless – he recalled how he found out. “She fixed me up. It was on Felicity’s birthday. Jinger says, ‘I have a present for you.’ It was in an Amazon bag so I’m thinking, ‘What did Amazon get for me?’ Then I open it and it’s a positive result, and I’m actually speechless.”
