Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo are sharing that her dad Jim Bob Duggar is already thinking about how much their family will expand.
In a clip shared to Instagram from The Jinger and Jeremy podcast, the mom of three and her husband spoke about Jinger’s sister Jana Duggar and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar revealing the sex of their babies-to-be.
“Today’s episode, we’ve got big news. There’s big news coming out of the Duggar sister baby world. Jana and Abby announced the genders of their kids,” says Jeremy.

“Oh yeah. We easily could be at 100 grandkids for my parents super soon,” Jinger says. “Because not all the kids are married.”
“Your dad sent this out the other day,” says Jeremy, reading an email from his phone from Jinger’s dad, Jim Bob Duggar. “So this is assuming that every grandchild has five kids and then all of their grandchildren have five kids. So that’s assuming a lot. But listen to how quickly it adds up. In 14 generations, there could be 24 billion Duggar descendants.”
“Oh my goodness,” Jinger said. “Wow.”
In total, JimBob and his wife Michelle Duggar are parents to 19 kids. They are currently grandparents to nearly 40 grandkids — and counting!
On a previous episode of their podcast, the couple spoke about how Jinger can be a little “crunchy” when it comes to modern medicine. At one point, the mom of three explained that she’s not a huge fan of sunscreen and often lets her kids “soak up the sun.”
“Sunscreen is a fascinating one because I have just seen headlines. So I haven’t done the research,” Jeremy said. “Again, I’m not claiming to be, you know, crunchy here, but the rates of skin cancer. And I’ve seen something saying sunscreen is actually not helping with that.”
“I don’t put sunscreen on all the time, which is probably why I have more wrinkles and because I’m in my thirties,” Jinger replied. “So I don’t use that all the time. But I definitely try not to use the normal sunscreens because they’re so toxic when you do the sprays and stuff.”
Jinger went on to explain that she prefers mineral-based sunscreens that you rub on instead of spray sunscreen.
“Like if we’re gonna be in the pool for hours or at the beach or in an area that has like heavy sun, but in the day when the kids are going out to play, I actually let them soak up some sun,” said Jinger. “I don’t know if that’s bad or good. But I do let them soak up some sun because I’m like, if it’s not like beating down, we don’t try to go out when it’s 100 degrees.”
