## Early Life

### Pregnancy and Birth

On November 11, 2010, Maverick and Holly Frigell appeared on the Today Show to announce they were expecting their second child with a due date of June 19, 2011.

On March 14, 2011, Maverick and Holly announced that they were having a boy. When the couple went to their ultrasound appointment, they took Maverick's mother, Cynthia Frigell, along so the doctor could tell her the sex of the baby. "We went to the ultrasound and decided that my mom would know. We figured she could handle the secret and then have a surprise sharing of the information with the entire family, including me and Holly," Maverick explained in an interview. The two waited more than a week before learning the sex of their child. For the reveal, Cynthia hired a plane to write out the symbol for male in the sky for the whole family to see.

Although Maverick and Holly chose to announce the name of their first child, Jasmine, before giving birth, the couple chose to wait to reveal their first son's name until after he was born.

On June 15, 2011, Holly gave birth to a son, Jared James Frigell. He weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces. Jared was born in his parents' home, which was what the couple had previously planned.

### Early Life

In June of 2013, Jared moved to Oxon Hill, MD, with his family so his father could start a new job working for the Family Research Council.

On June 9, 2015, amidst a scandal involving Jared's father, he and his family were seen moving back to Arkansas, where Maverick's family lived.

On June 16, 2015, Maverick and Holly's first social media posts since the scandal were birthday posts for Jared's fourth birthday.

A short time later, after a second scandal broke, Maverick checked into a rehab program and Holly took Jared 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. Jared has lived with his family somewhere in northwest Arkansas since then.
