Jinger Duggar, the well-known star of 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, has been on a remarkable journey of personal growth and family development since leaving the spotlight of reality TV. In an exclusive interview, Jinger opens up about her life as a mom of three, how she is adjusting to the challenges of raising young children, and the state of her relationship with her parents after years of public scrutiny and family drama.
Embracing the Role of a Mom of Three
Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, welcomed their third child in 2024, completing their family with another beautiful daughter. For Jinger, the transition from being a mother of two to a mother of three has brought new challenges and rewards.
“Becoming a mom of three has been such a joy, but it’s definitely a change in the dynamic at home!” Jinger says with a smile. “Having one more little one to care for adds a bit of chaos, but it’s also a lot of fun. My older two kids, Felicity and Evangeline, love having a baby sister to dote on, and it’s amazing to see the bond between them grow.”
While Jinger acknowledges the increased responsibilities that come with raising three young children, she also embraces the precious moments of motherhood. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Seeing your kids grow, learn, and develop their own personalities is something special,” Jinger reflects. “There are certainly difficult days, but the joy they bring to my life makes it all worth it.”
Her children, especially Felicity, who is now a little older, have also taken on more active roles in helping around the house. “Felicity loves to help with the baby, whether it’s getting her a toy or helping with the diaper changes,” Jinger says. “It’s been beautiful to see her grow into a caring and responsible big sister.”
Navigating Parenthood with Jeremy Vuolo
As a couple, Jinger and Jeremy have worked hard to build a strong, supportive partnership in their marriage and family life. The two have always been open about how they lean on each other to navigate the challenges of parenthood.
“Jeremy is such a great dad. He’s incredibly hands-on with the kids, whether it’s helping with bedtime, making dinner, or taking them out for little adventures. I couldn’t ask for a better partner in this journey of parenthood,” Jinger says, her eyes lighting up as she speaks about her husband.
While Jinger admits that balancing everything can be tough, especially with three children, she credits their strong communication and teamwork for making it work. “We’re in this together,” she says. “Jeremy and I try to support each other as much as we can. He’s really great at stepping in when I need help, and we make sure to carve out time for each other too.”
The couple’s focus on building a strong family unit is apparent, and Jinger mentions how important it is to maintain a balance between being parents and being partners. “It can be easy to get caught up in the busyness of family life, but Jeremy and I make sure to spend time together and nurture our relationship as well.”
Jinger Duggar’s Relationship with Her Parents: A Changing Dynamic
For years, Jinger’s relationship with her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, has been a topic of public interest. As one of the more outspoken members of the Duggar family, Jinger has faced scrutiny over her decision to step away from certain aspects of her parents’ strict Christian lifestyle and embrace a more independent path, particularly when it comes to her marriage to Jeremy, their decision to live in Los Angeles, and their approach to parenting.
While the Duggar family has always been closely followed by fans of their reality TV shows, Jinger has made it clear that her choices were about finding a life that felt true to her and Jeremy. “Jeremy and I have always been very clear that we want to create our own path as a family. That’s something that’s been important to us from the beginning,” Jinger explains. “We have a lot of respect for my parents, but we also know that it’s okay to live differently. I think it’s all about finding what works best for your family.”
As a result of their differing views on some issues, Jinger’s relationship with her parents has changed over the years. While Jinger remains close to her family, there have been times when the boundaries between their differing perspectives have created tension. However, she says that the relationship has grown and evolved as they’ve all worked to respect each other’s choices.
“We still have a lot of love and respect for my parents,” Jinger says. “It’s not always easy when you have differences, but I believe that family is about love, understanding, and supporting one another no matter where we are in life.”
She further acknowledges that her parents have always been supportive of her choices, even if they didn’t always agree. “I know my parents want the best for me and for our family. It’s a journey, and I think we’ve all grown in our understanding of each other.”
The Future for Jinger Duggar: Continuing to Grow and Evolve
As Jinger continues to grow in her role as a mother, wife, and individual, she remains focused on the future and what lies ahead for her family. “Every day is an opportunity to grow,” Jinger says thoughtfully. “I’m learning as a mom, as a wife, and as a person. I want to continue becoming the best version of myself and the best mom I can be.”
Looking to the future, Jinger is also open about the possibility of returning to public life in some capacity, whether through writing, speaking, or other creative endeavors. “I love being a mom and focusing on my family, but I also have passions outside of motherhood. I think I’ll find ways to pursue those things as time goes on.”
Ultimately, Jinger’s commitment to her family and her values remains at the core of her life. Whether it’s spending quality time with her children, navigating her evolving relationship with her parents, or exploring new opportunities in the future, Jinger Duggar is determined to continue on her journey with love, growth, and grace.
