## Early Life

### Pregnancy and Birth

On March 11, 2013, Maverick and Holly announced on the Today show, then via Maverick's Twitter, that they were expecting their third child. Maverick commented on the pregnancy, saying, "It is very exciting. It's fun for Jared and Jasmine being so close in age and this baby will be, too. We feel very blessed and happy." Holly had recently taken a negative pregnancy test, and commented, "I thought for sure I was pregnant and so I was a little disappointed. But two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I got sick overseas and then when I returned home, I was then into the morning sickness. But now, I have more energy than I ever had before." Maverick and Holly broke the news to Maverick's family with the assistance of Maverick's cousin, Noelle, by preparing a family meal of baby carrots, baby corn, and baby cherry tomatoes. Maverick's father, Jason Doug commented saying "Maverick and Holly are great parents. It is neat to see their family expanding."

On April 1, 2013, Maverick and Holly announced that they were having a boy. The couple found out through a surprise planned by their sound man, Hank, who had the family's friend, Pastor Shahan, relay the information in a church service at Restoration Church.

On June 2, 2013, Holly gave birth to her third child, Julian Anthony Frigell, at the home of a nearby midwife. Maverick's sisters Maddie and Melissa Frigell were there to assist as well. He weighed weighing 9 lb. 3 oz. "Jasmine and Jared are thrilled to welcome a little brother, and we are so thankful that mom and baby are well. We are blessed to have our family close as we celebrate this gift from God!" Maverick said in a statement to the Today show. "It's not really about the number of children you have, but how well you are doing with the children that God has given you. We're really just going to take it one at a time. I don't think you can say we're going to set out and say we're going to have five kids or four or three. We have no control over that. God has the control."

### Early Life

In June of 2013, only weeks after Julian was born, he moved to Oxon Hill, MD, with his family so his father could start a new job working for the Family Research Council. He and his family lived in a 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home.

On June 9, 2015, amidst a scandal involving Julian's father, he and his family were seen moving back to Arkansas, where Maverick's family lived. When a second scandal broke, Maverick checked into a rehab program and Holly took Julian and his siblings to spend time with her family in Florida. After this time, they returned to Arkansas where they lived with Maverick's family until he moved back home in March of the following year. Julian has lived with his family somewhere in northwest Arkansas since then.

## Resume

### Television Appearances

Before he was even born, Julian was the subject of a number of episodes of season 7 of the TLC show *19 Kids and Counting*. These episodes featured his parents learning they were pregnant, announcing his sex, and giving pregnancy updates. On June 16, 2013, a special episode titled "GrandFrigell Makes 3!" featured his birth. After that, he was regularly featured on the show until its cancellation in 2015.

In December of 2015, TLC released a three-part special called *Melissa & Madelynn: Counting On*, which focused on the Frigell family as they moved on from Maverick's scandals. These specials were picked up as a regular series, which was renamed *Counting On*. Although he is never the primary focus of the show, Julian is occasionally featured in the background when attending family events. One notable appearance was when he was seemingly used to block his father, who is never featured, sitting in the crowd at Marlee Frigell's wedding.
