On the social media page, Kendra’s friend Elizabeth posted some snaps from a weekend socializing.

Also in the group photos were Joe’s younger sisters, Jennifer and Johannah.

The women all appeared to be dressed according to patriarch Jim Bob’s conservative rules, with the group wearing faith t-shirts and loose, knee-length skirts.

In one photo, Kendra, 24, smiled happily as she and Elizabeth wrapped their arms around each other.

She wore her highlighted hair in sleek waves and dark eye make-up.

The reality TV star’s manicure was also perfectly color-coordinated with her pale pink t-shirt.

Elizabeth captioned the post: “Sweet weekends with sweet friends. What was your highlight of the last month?!”

Instead of answering the question, a TLC fan asked one of his own: “How nice. How many kids does Kendra have now?”

KENDRA’S CHILDREN

Kendra and Joseph tied the knot in 2017 and already have three children together: Garrett, four; Addison, three; and Brooklyn, two.

However, in November, fans theorized that the couple could potentially have a secret fourth child.

Joy-Anna Duggar posted a video of a family celebration on YouTube, which fans believe they saw Joe and Kendra with a new baby.

Joe, 24, was clearly seen carrying a baby in a carrier under his tan coat, hopping up and down. In another shot of the video, Kendra appeared to be sitting on a couch with a baby on her lap.

On Reddit, one person wrote, “Certainly a man doesn’t carry just any baby.”

A second lamented, “It’s been 8 years since I had a third child (my decision to wait!) and these women are putting them out like Pez candy for the Lord.”

“Joe and Kendra have always been one of the more private couples,” another person explained their non-disclosure.

Privacy is key

After being extremely active in reporting on her pregnancies on social media over the past few years, Kendra’s fans have wondered if she’s keeping quiet about her brother-in-law Josh’s jail time.

Josh’s child pornography investigation began in November 2019, followed by his arrest in April 2021.

Others, however, felt they were merely protecting their children from public scrutiny.

One fan wrote on Reddit: “It’s one of the few respectable things they’ve done. Not exploiting their children will make a huge difference in their growing up.”

“Joe didn’t have a choice because his parents signed him up and from there he just followed.”
