With rumors circulating online that “Jill and Jessa: Counting On” will be cancelled soon, a new report claimed that the Duggar sisters are planning on getting pregnant together to prevent TLC from cancelling the show. The reality stars allegedly believed that introducing new family members will help bring back the lost interest in the show.
According to Raw Story, Jill Dillard, herself, predicted that she and Jessa will end up getting pregnant at the same time. She, however, pointed out that her son Israel, who just turned a year old in April, is older than Jessa's baby Spurgeon, which could mean that she may end up having another baby sooner.
The "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" star added that everyone has been constantly asking her when she will be having another baby. While she explained that she has yet to talk about it with husband Derick, Jill shared that it is definitely possible that they will have another baby soon.
"I feel like we will have another child. I just don't know how. It will probably be a naturalized citizen of the family," she shared.
The Hollywood Gossip pointed out that while Jill and Jessa made it seem like they were new to the possibility of having synchronized pregnancies, it definitely seemed like they had talked about it before.
"The ladies act as though the idea of simultaneous gestation periods just popped into their minds at that moment, but their poker faces aren't the greatest, and we'd be willing to bet this isn't the first time they've had this conversation."
In the season finale of "Jill & Jessa: Counting On," Jessa Seewald shared that if she and Ben will have another baby in the future, they were actually considering adopting. The "19 Kids and Counting" alum explained some of their friends have gone the same route and they will be more than happy to open their home to children in need of love and care.
"There are so many kids out there who are longing for the love of a family, and we feel strongly about opening our hearts and our home to welcome them in," Jessa said.
