Jessa Dagger (m. Ben Siewald)
Jim Bob and Michelle’s fifth child, Jessa Dugar, was born on November 4, 1992.
Jessa met Ben through the church and began courting her in 2013. The old-fashioned approach to romance comes as a brand new concept for many viewers. The kids never talked about their romance engagement, so Jim Bob explained to people:
Ben asked Jessa’s hand and proposed it in August 2014. It was my first time holding my hand and making a deal. They got married on November 1, 2014. Jessa pregnant with her 19 children and her first child when the count was cancelled, and then she gave a special airing of sexual abuse featuring Jill and Jessa, educating viewers more about the subject. The sisters will become stars of their own show, Jill and Jessa. The show has since evolved to be reliable, featuring other Duggar brothers as well.
Meanwhile, Jessa and Ben welcomed their son Spurgeon on November 5, 2015, son Henry on February 6, 2017, daughter Ivy Jane on May 28, 2019, and daughter Fern in July 2021. She gave birth to her son George in December 2023.
In August 2025, Jessa announced the birth of her son, Edward.
