It’s a boy for Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann!
Yes, the happy couple took to Instagram this week to reveal that Jana welcomed her first child.
In the past, all Duggar births were announced as soon as possible, but Jana has always moved at her own pace, so it’s no surprise that she waited a few weeks to share the news:
“We took some time to adjust to our new rhythm before sharing this sweet news,” the former reality star wrote on Instagram.
“Archie Gerald Wissmann arrived on December 30, 2025 and our hearts were completely changed. We are immersed in these first days, full of love, wonder and a lot of gratitude.”
Yes, Jana’s baby has been named Archie.
She didn’t divulge the inspiration for that name, but in the comments, many fans noted that the child shares a name with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son.
We never got the impression that Jana was a fan of royal gossip, so if we had to guess, we’d say she’s not paying tribute to the Sussexes. But who knows?
Anyway, if you keep score at home (not an easy task!). This brings the total number of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s grandchildren to 40!
Several members of Jana’s famous family were quick to gush about the family’s newest addition.
“Ahhh, we already love Archie so much and we can’t wait to meet him!” Jinger Duggar commented on the post.
“It’s perfect!!!!” Jessa Duggar enthused.
“Ah! He’s so cute! I can’t wait to meet him! Congratulations everyone!” Jill Duggar chimed in.
Yes, the Duggars are a distant clan these days, with siblings residing in several states.
Jana and Stephen moved to Nebraska shortly after getting married, and while we’re sure Jana occasionally misses her huge family, she seems to have no regrets.
“It’s great,” he said recently. People of his new life situation.
“We’ve been working, he has a little house that we bought, that we’ve been fixing up and putting together, and it’s been fun.”
There was a time when it seemed like Jana might choose to remain single for life.
She was derisively nicknamed “Cinderella Duggar” as she seemed to be constantly burdened by household chores while her younger siblings “courted,” married, and started families of their own.
There were even rumors that Jana was forbidden to marry and had promised to stay at home to help raise her brothers and sisters.
Fortunately, that was not the case. Fans were overjoyed when Jana announced her engagement to Stephen and we’re sure they’re even more excited today.
Our most sincere congratulations to the happy couple!
