Jinger Duggar responded to wild rumors that there could be 'mystery grandkids' in her family.

The Counting On alum, 32, was doing an Instagram Q&A session with her fans on Thursday when she reacted to a question about her family tree.

She received the question from one of her 1.4 million Instagram followers and seemingly reacted with laughter and disbelief when she read the message.

The question she received read: 'Are there any mystery Duggar grandkids?'

Jinger, who is one of 19 siblings and recently welcomed her third kid in early 2025, quipped in response with the side-eye reaction emoji and wrote: 'Ohhh.'

'Maybe there are some I don't know about in a family as large as mine?! Haha jk,' she continued before concluding her answer with a laughing emoji.

This comes shortly after Jinger also admitted that she has not spend Christmas with her entire family for nearly a decade, which many fans speculated had to do with her denouncing their church.

The former reality TV star also reacted to other questions about memorizing each of her family member's birthdays and whether she sends gifts to each person.

Because her parents, Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar, have around 40 grandchildren now, she admitted it is difficult for her to keep up with every niece and nephew's birthdays.

'I have my siblings' birthdays and my parents' birthdays memorized,' she said in video she posted to her Instagram Story.

Jinger was sharing her mixed feelings in response to a question about whether she has to 'google' the special dates as more of her siblings have even more children.

'Beyond that, in-laws? No. Nieces and nephews? Maybe one or two.'

'It's one of those things where I kinda feel bad about it, but also at the same time, we're at like 40 grandkids from my parents so that's, like, a lot to remember,' she admitted.

She added that other family members might remember them all, however. 'There are a couple of the sisters-in-law that may have them all down and I am so impressed by that,' she continued.

'That's a big thing. I'm just not great with dates.'

In response to sending gifts on each niece and nephew's birthday, she replied: 'I wish that were the case but that's kinda a lot with the amount of siblings I have and also with all the nieces and nephews.'

On Thursday, she took to her Instagram Story to do a Q&A session and answered questions about being one of 18 siblings as well as her many nieces and nephews

During her Q&A session, Jinger, who is the sixth out of 19 children growing up and now has three kids of her own, also responded to questions about gift giving as their family continues growing

She talked about being a mother to three young children as well as being an aunt to now 40 nieces and nephews and counting

She added that she was already 'impressed' that her aunts and uncles sent her and her 18 siblings 'birthday cards with $5 in each' while they were growing up.

Jinger, the sixth child and fourth daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle, shares three children with her husband Jeremy Vuolo.

She and her husband, who got married in 2016, share daughters Felicity, seven, Evangeline, five, and their baby boy Finnegan, who will celebrate his first birthday in March.

Jinger famously starred on the hit TLC series, 19 Kids and Counting alongside her many siblings and their spin-off series Counting On as their family expanded over the years.

Their family tree also includes 11 sons- and daughters-in-law, with at least 10 of the Duggar siblings with children of their own.

Josh and his wife Anna have seven of their own while Jessa and her husband Ben have six children. Seven other Duggar siblings have three or four of their own too.

Their reality show ran for 15 seasons on TLC before concluding in 2015.

The show followed Jim Bob and Michelle as they homeschooled their 19 children: Joshua, twins Jana and John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie.

Jinger also previously said she believes 'it's possible' that some of her siblings could end up having 19 kids of their own one day too.

During her and her husband's podcast episode in December, she said that she would be attending their big family Christmas celebration for the first time in nine years.

And for that occasion, she did bring gifts, but she explained that their family exchanges presents with a Secret Santa-inspired arrangement where they draw the names of who their gift receiver.
