The Untold Truth Of Jed Duggar

Jed Duggar is the tenth child of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar. He was born minutes before his twin brother, Jeremiah Duggar. Jed (also known as Jedidiah) and Jeremiah are the second set of twins in the Duggar family; the first set of Duggar twins are John-David Duggar and Jana Duggar.

Jed and his brother were born on Dec. 30, 1998. The family went on to have eight more children after the twins, which made up the reality series 19 Kids and Counting that made the Duggar family famous. However, Jed has been in front of the camera since he was just 5 years old when he appeared on the first Duggar family television special, 14 Children and Pregnant Again!, which aired on the Discovery Health Channel.

After four years of specials about his family, the Duggars got their first reality tv show, 17 Kids and Counting, when Jed was 9  years old. As the Duggars kept having babies, the TLC series title was changed to 19 Kids and Counting before the show was canceled in July 2015. The popular series was canceled in the aftermath of the oldest brother Josh Duggar's molestation scandals.

In early 2016, a new TLC series focused on the older Duggar children was created. The series Counting On features Jed on the show frequently. Keep scrolling to learn the untold truth of Jed, the tenth sibling in the Duggar family, who is one of the Duggar "middle children."

In late March 2021, Hello Magazine reported that Jed Duggar was given a $365,000 three-bedroom house by his parents Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. The news about the Duggars gifting him a home fueled rumors that Jed is getting married. Jim Bob and Michelle are known for "gifting" their offspring houses as a wedding present. Nice!

According to Hello Magazine and other outlets, the Counting On star is set to be "marrying Katey Nakatsu on April 3, and the pair will be making their forever home at the property, a wedding gift from his parents."

The Sun reported that the Springdale, Ark. home that Jed's parents gave him is "listed as his address for a November 2020 business license." According to The Sun (via Realtor.com), the home is pretty large for a 22-year-old! Jed's new house sits on five acres and is 2,180 square feet with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a brick fireplace. The property sits on a few acres of land, and Jed's gift from mom and dad seems way nicer than homes that his parents have given to their other kids.

Jed Duggar's best friend is his twin brother Jeremiah Duggar. Twins have a special bond that's different from other siblings, and that seems like Jed and his twin brother have a unique bond from the other Duggar siblings.

Jed wrote a sweet tribute to his brother Jeremiah on their shared 21st birthday. Jed posted on Instagram, "Jeremiah—Happy Birthday! I've been so blessed to have you as my twin brother AND my best friend! You have taught me so many things through the years, and I'm honored to have such a kindhearted, dedicated, and hardworking man as my campaign manager. I couldn't ask for a better guy to have my back, and you know I'll always have yours!! We've had 21 years of life together, and I look forward to where God will lead us in the next 21!"

A story for Insider sums up why twins are so close, "Having a twin is like getting assigned a best friend at birth. Sure, there are hundreds of twins who may disagree, but more often than not twins have a special bond that can't be denied."
