Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, have made a conscious effort to keep their children out of the public eye despite spending a significant portion of their lives in the spotlight.
Since getting married in 2014, the couple has welcomed three children. Their eldest son, Israel David, was born in April 2015. The name Israel holds a special meaning for the couple as it was the country where Derick bought Jill’s engagement ring.
In July 2017, they welcomed their second child, Samuel Scott. The couple expressed their joy at expanding their family and shared their excitement about the arrival of their second child.
Unfortunately, in 2021, Jill and Derick announced that they had experienced a miscarriage with their third child, whom they had already named River Bliss. They shared their grief with their followers but found solace in knowing that their baby was now in the presence of the Lord.
The following year, they welcomed their third son, Frederick Michael, and expressed their love and happiness for their growing family.
In a heartbreaking announcement in April 2024, Jill and Derick shared that they had experienced a stillbirth with their beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard. They mourned the loss of their daughter, who was due in August, and expressed the love their three sons already had for their baby sister.
Jill and Derick tied the knot in June 2014 in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by friends and family. They opted to share their first kiss on their wedding day, a decision they made to make the physical side of their marriage more special and significant.
While the couple initially starred in the reality TV show Counting On, they decided to leave in 2017 to pursue their own goals. Jill later revealed that she was not fairly compensated throughout her time on reality TV, which put a strain on their marriage.
