Joy-Anna Duggar fuels rumors she’s PREGNANT with third child as she ‘hides baby bump’ in loose dress at pal’s wedding
JOY-ANNA Duggar fueled pregnancy rumors by appearing to “hide a baby bump” while attending a friend’s wedding at the weekend.
The Counting On alum’s fans were convinced she was concealing her stomach by wearing a loose, wrap dress.
Joy-Anna, 23, wowed in the knee-length nude dress at the nuptials of her friends Nate and Esther, which she attended with her husband Austin Forsyth, 27.
She shared photos of them with the bride, at the venue and on a sightseeing trip around Pennsylvania on Instagram on Sunday.
The mother-of-two captioned it: “Pennsylvania trip photo dump. It was a short trip, filled with long days and so many good memories!
“Congratulations to Nate & Esther!”
The TLC star’s fans flocked to the comments to speculate that she could be pregnant with her third child.
One wrote, “I predict a baby announcement,” and another asked: “Could she be trying to hide a baby bump?”

A third follower posted: “I think she’s a few weeks into her 2nd trimester.”
Joy-Anna and Austin tied the knot in 2017, and are already parents to two kids – son Gideon, three, and daughter Evelyn, one.
She first sparked pregnancy rumors earlier this month when she shared a sweet photo alongside her hubby and their kids.
The young mother posed with her family outdoors while wearing a flowy purple sundress.
While many fans raced to the comments to praise the “beautiful family,” others speculated that Joy-Anna may be attempting to “hide a baby bump” with the placement of her daughter covering her belly.
Joy-Anna was recently slammed by critics on social media for how she parents her two little ones.
PARENTING BACKLASH
The reality star angered fans who believed she wasn’t spending enough time homeschooling her toddler son.
She sparked backlash after sharing a video showing how she spends a bit of time every day teaching Gideon basics such as the alphabet and colors.
She filmed herself in their living room as she spelled out her reasons for her homeschooling methods.
“I normally try and do like five minutes a day, doesn’t always happen but just like to get the numbers, the letters, the colors kind of ingrained in his head,” she explained.
“And I feel consistency works better than [studying] over long periods of time, every so often.”
She added, while holding up a workbook: “So I’ve got this fun schoolbook that I found for him… so anyone that’s our morning.”
Joy-Anna then shared an adorable video of her and Gideon singing the ABCs together.
But fans on Reddit were not impressed by the adorable display and instead slammed the young mom for only doing five minutes of teaching with her son.
“What do you expect from Joy?” wrote one fan on Reddit.
‘UNSAFE’
Last month, Joy-Anna was ridiculed for putting her daughter in an “unsafe” tree swing.
In the video, Joy-Anna sat on the end of a crane to haul herself up to the desired branch of the tree and tie several ropes around it.
Her husband Austin then fitted the swing to the ropes and placed Evy in it.
The toddler giggled as she swung back and forth in the swing, before her brother Gideon had a go.
Critics branded Joy-Anna and Austin “irresponsible idiots” for hanging the swing from such a “weak” branch.
One wrote on Reddit: “All of this is scary unsafe. But that branch they used looks weak as f**k. That’s not a tree you hang a swing from.”
