So, who’s the biggest contributor to this grandkid army? Well, it’s a tight race between a few of the older siblings. Anna Duggar (married to Josh) leads the pack with seven children, though the family’s dynamics are, to put it mildly, complicated.
Right behind her, Jessa and Ben Seewald have four kids, while Jill and Derick Dillard have three. And then there’s Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth, who just welcomed their third, a baby boy named Gunner. It’s a steady stream of siblings turning into parents.
Fun fact: The grandkids’ names range from the classic (Mackynzie, Michael) to the very uniquely Duggar (Spurgeon, anyone?). If you ever play a game of “guess the family name,” just listen for a nature-inspired or virtue-based name—you’re probably right.
Where They Live: The Great Duggar Migration
You might assume all these grandkids live in a giant compound in Tontitown, Arkansas. And while many do stay close, a few branches have scattered like dandelion seeds. Jill and Derick, for instance, live in Oklahoma, while Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo are firmly settled in Los Angeles.
This creates a fascinating dynamic: some grandkids are growing up with cornfields in their backyard, while others are navigating sidewalks and vegan smoothie spots. It’s a cultural experiment in real-time, and we’re all just watching from our couches.
Practical tip: If you’re planning a family reunion of this size, you’d need a venue bigger than a high school gym. The Duggars famously use a church fellowship hall for their gatherings—smart move to avoid a seating crisis.
