Is Jana Duggar Pregnant?  First Baby Coming January 2026

Is Jana Duggar Pregnant?

Yes, Jana Duggar is pregnant! And honestly, seeing her Instagram post with hubby kissing her forehead and cradling her baby bump, I might've teared up a little the kind of happy tears you get when the oldest girl in the family finally gets her moment. Janam Duggar and Stephen Wissmann shared a joyful post announcing that they are expecting a baby, with their little bundle of joy set to arrive in January 2026

After years of fans wondering if she'd ever have a family of her own, Jana announced on August 18, 2025, that she and her husband are expecting their first child in January 2026. The news came almost exactly one year after their Arkansas wedding, which feels sweetly fitting somehow, like life decided to give her a double celebration this August.

Who Is Jana Duggar’s Husband?

Jana Duggar's husband is Stephen Wissmann, and, fun fact, his family is nearly as enormous as the Duggars. Stephen is one of 13 siblings (yes, really), works as the assistant manager of Wissmann Enterprises, Inc., flies planes, makes furniture, and is always doing something hands-on or musical. In fact, before their wedding, Jana’s brother Jeremiah married Stephen’s sister Hannah, meaning these two crazy-big families share more than just holiday dinners; now they share in-laws.

Stephen’s bio calls him a “man of many talents.” That tracks. He’s also a local pastor in Nebraska and super involved in his church, plus he plays mandolin and guitar with the family band (the Wissmanns are musical). Jana once joked in a video about having a “boyfriend” who gave her a stuffed gorilla; turns out it was her brother, but the real guy was lurking in the wings.

On a personal note, when Stephen posted a sweet collage for Jana’s birthday, admiring her “moral beauty,” it felt almost like something you'd overhear at a family reunion, heartfelt, slightly awkward, and 100% sincere.

When Did Jana Duggar Get Married?

Jana married Stephen Wissmann on August 15, 2024, in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The ceremony was “classic, elegant.” 500 friends and family packed into a pretty little venue called The Grand at Willow Springs (I imagine the cake was massive). Her sisters and sister-in-law served as bridesmaids, and Jessa Duggar Seewald played the role of the ultimate Maid of Honor.

For years, Jana talked in interviews about feeling like her wedding dreams might never happen. As the oldest daughter, she saw so many siblings walk down the aisle first. It hit me her excitement wasn’t just about the wedding, but about finally getting her moment: a dream comes true, even if it arrived a little later than she expected. After the wedding, they spent six months fixing up a small house together in Nebraska, a story that feels almost classic small-town newlywed.

This year, they celebrated their wedding anniversary. Janam Duggar shared a heartfelt post celebrating one year of marriage with Stephen Wissmann, calling it the best year with her favorite person and looking forward to many more together.

Now, with a baby on the way, something about the whole journey makes it that much sweeter. Sometimes, your “happily ever after” really does show up fashionably late. And for Jana Duggar, the timing finally feels just right.
