Jinger Duggar may have 18 siblings to keep up with, but she makes sure to stay in touch with all of them.
The 19 Kids and Counting alum, 31, was asked which siblings she speaks to the most during a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, August 28.
“I’d say I talk to my older sisters the most, and then beyond that, I just had [Jennifer] out here. That was so much fun, hanging out with her. My dad and Jackson also came through, and that was super fun,” Jinger explained.
Jinger added that she “talks to [Joy-Anna] all the time.”
“They were out here for a bit of time. [Joy-Anna’s husband, Austin Forsyth] had some work to do, and so we really connected. When she was out here for that month, it was so much fun,” Jinger added.
The former TLC personality concluded, “And I don’t know because I talk to Jessa, Jana, Jill, Joy, the girls. And then my brothers when they come visit. It’s super fun. And I love them all.”
While most of the Duggar siblings still live in their home state of Arkansas, Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolo moved to Laredo, Texas, after their wedding in 2016. They lived there for more than two years before relocating to California, where the couple lives today with their three children, daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4, and son Finn, 5 months.
Despite moving away from her family, Jinger has remained close to her siblings and has stayed in tune with their lives. She recently reacted to the exciting news that older sister Jana, 35, is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Wissmann.
“So stoked for my sis @janamduggar & @stephenwissmann!!!” Jinger wrote via her Instagram Stories. “Can’t wait to meet this precious little one and to be the fave auntie ha.”
Many of Jinger’s siblings, including sisters Joy-Anna, 27, and Jessa, 32, and brother Jason Duggar and his wife, Maddie Duggar, have also appeared on Jinger and Jeremy’s eponymous podcast during visits to California.
Meanwhile, Jinger and Jeremy, 37, have made their own visits back home to parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s home in Arkansas. During a July podcast episode, Jinger shared that she “loves going back to visit.”
“And at the same time, it’s overwhelming … because we live away,” she explained. “There are a couple siblings who live away now, just a few. And when you live away from family and then you come back, everybody wants to see you. Everybody wants to connect with you, and it can be so tough to juggle all that.”
Jinger later added, “It was fun stepping back into that old property and just seeing the family. I think my younger siblings, that’s the part that’s really fun. I love seeing how they’ve grown and matured, what they’re into now. Because when I left, that was a long time ago … and those little kids are all grown up. It’s hard for me to picture the little kids as teenagers and as adults now. It’s kinda wild.”
