Spurgeon Seewald

Spurgeon in March 2022

Spurgeon Elliot Seewald is the first of Ben and Jessa Seewald's five children.

## Early Life

### Pregnancy and Birth

On April 21, 2015, Jessa Seewald announced via Twitter that she and Ben were expecting a their first child, who was due November 1, 2015.

On June 17, 2015, the couple posted an update on their blog, saying, "Baby Seewald is growing steadily and Mommy has been feeling some little, yet strong, kicks! We recently had an ultrasound, but aren't revealing our firstborn's gender yet. Can't wait to welcome this blessing from God into the world!"

The couple teased the sex of their child many times across social media, even including a poll where fans could vote on what they thought the baby would be. Although fans voted that the baby would be a girl, Ben and Jessa ultimately decided not to announce the baby's sex in advance.

### Birth

   On November 5, 2015, Jessa gave birth to her first son, a baby boy. He weighed 9 pounds and 11 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long.

On November 11, 2015, Ben and Jessa announced that they had named their son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald. Spurgeon's first name was in honor of Charles Spurgeon, a nineteenth-century British preacher. His middle name was in honor of late missionaries Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. "One guy that has really impacted my life is a great preacher of the past, Charles Haddon Spurgeon," Ben said when announcing his son's name. Jessa added, "We want to give him a strong name, with a lot of meaning."

## Resume

### Television Appearances

At the time that his parents announced their pregnancy, they were still the subject of the TLC show *19 Kids and Counting*. In the wake of scandals involving his mother's older brother, this show was canceled while his mother was pregnant with him. Due to the fact that this cancellation was unexpected, it's likely that footage related to Spurgeon was filmed. This footage was never aired.

About a month after he was born, the show *Jill & Jessa: Counting On* premiered on TLC. The first season of the show features his baby shower and the final months of pregnancy. The season finale, "Counting One More", which first aired on December 27, 2015, featured Spurgeon's birth. Spurgeon has been featured on the show regularly since then.

Rebekah Hunt

Rebekah in November of 2018

### Siblings

Esther Shrader, Daniel Keller, Priscilla Waller, Anna Duggar, Susanna Bridges, Nathan Keller, David Keller

### Spouse

Josh McDonald (m. 8/21/04; d. 5/22/15), Kevin Hunt

### Children

Annabel McDonald, Alyssa McDonald

Rebekah (Keller) Hunt is the daughter of Mike and Suzette Keller. She is the younger sister of Esther Shrader and the older sister of Daniel, Nathan, and David Keller, Priscilla Waller, Anna Duggar, and Susanna Bridges. She is the ex-wife of Joshua McDonald. She is married to Kevin Hunt. She is the mother of Annabel and Alyssa MacDonald.

## Early Life

Rebekah Ann Keller was born on May 15, 1983, to Michael Keller and Suzette Stembridge. She was the couple's second child, and they went on to have six more children after her.

Rebekah and her siblings were homeschooled growing up, following the teachings of Bill Gothard's Institute in Basic Life Principles, which she has left as an adult for a more mainstream version of conservative Christianity. They were raised with strict rules, including weekly 15 minute meetings for one-on-one time with their parents.

## Family

### First Marriage

Rebekah married Joshua McDonald on August 21, 2004.

The couple divorced on May 22, 2015. The reasons listed were "discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner [Rebekah] and Respondent [Joshua] that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation." Rebekah was granted primary custody of their children, with Joshua getting every other weekend and Thursday nights.

### Second Marriage

Rebekah is currently married to Kevin Hunt.

   Details of this marriage are unknown. In 2018, the Keller family celebrated Thanksgiving at Rebekah and Kevin's home, which is the first public reference to their relationship. When Rebekah's brother Nathan began courting, his girlfriend's mother listed Rebekah on a post about Nathan's family, stating that her last name is Hunt. This suggests that Rebekah is, in fact, married to Kevin.

### Motherhood

Rebekah has two daughters. Annabel was born in July of 2005, and Alyssa was born in May of 2007.

Evelyn Forsyth

Evelyn in October 2022

Evelyn Mae Forsyth is the second of Austin and Joy Forsyth's three children.

## Pregnancy and Birth

### Pregnancy

On March 18, 2020, Joy and Austin Forsyth announced that they were expecting their second child. In a video shared on the couple's YouTube channel, Joy revealed that she learned she was pregnant on December 9, 2019, after a test five days prior had turned up negative. The next day, she took several more tests. She shared the news with Austin by making an ornament for the new baby and letting him open it in a box with the pregnancy test.
Since this pregnancy followed a previous miscarriage, the couple has had more tests run than what they normally would. Although doctors were concerned that the pregnancy might be a molar pregnancy, the tests came back good, and the pregnancy has continued on. These tests allowed them to learn about nine weeks into the pregnancy that they were having a girl. To share with their family, they had Joy's brother John drop pink confetti out of a helicopter.

### Birth

At 2:12 pm on August 21, 2020, this baby was born. She weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 19.5 inches long. On August 27, 2020, the couple announced that they had named her Evelyn Mae.

Tyler Hutchins

Tyler in February 2021

Tyler Wayne Hutchins is the oldest son of Rachel Hutchins. He is the legal ward of his great-aunt and uncle, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

## Early Life

### Birth

Tyler Wayne Hutchins was born on February 10, 2008, to Rachel Hutchins and an unknown father. There is no father listed on his birth certificate.

### Changes in Custody

#### Grandmother

In August of 2015, when Tyler was six years old, he was placed into the custody of his grandmother, Carolyn Hutchins, as his mother was deemed unfit to care for him.

#### Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar

In July of 2016, Tyler's grandmother suffered a stroke, making her unable to continue caring for him. His great-aunt, Michelle Duggar, and her husband Jim Bob, were granted temporary custody of him on August 31, 2016.

On November 14, 2016, Tyler was placed into permanent custody of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. His mother, who was then on probation for felony breaking and entering charges, was allowed supervised visits with him.

### Life in the Duggar Home

Since moving in with the Duggar family, Tyler has often been pictured alongside the younger Duggar children, including appearances on the TLC show *Counting On*. He often travels with the family, with his most noteworthy destination being to Australia. In early 2018, followers of the family have noticed Tyler's grandma appears to be living in the home as well, although this is unconfirmed.

Tyler is considered a full member of the family, even being listed as a grandchild when Mary Duggar died in 2019.

#### Homeschooling

As seen on *Counting On*, Tyler is now homeschooled alongside the Duggar children.  This education includes learning instruments such as the violin, which all of the Duggar children study when young.

### Biological Family

After receiving the help she needed, Tyler's mother began to regularly see him and spend time with him. Tyler was in her wedding on January 23, 2017 to Michael Wright. On September 14, 2019, Tyler's younger brother, Timothy Levi Wright was born. Unfortunately, Timothy passed away from SIDS twenty four days later on October 8, 2019. In April 2021, Rachel announced she was pregnant again. On December 17, 2021, Tyler's younger sister, Abigail Mercy-Nicole Wright was born.
