KATEY Duggar showed off her baby bump for the first time after her January gender reveal alongside husband Jedidiah.
The Counting On alums were previously accused of “distracting” from Josh Duggar’s child pornography trial with their wedding and baby announcement.
Fans with a sharp eye found a photo of Katey, 22, showing off her developing baby bump while posing with family over the weekend.
The soon-to-be mom sported a knee-length jean skirt over black leggings, paired with a long-sleeved black shirt pulled tightly over her big belly.
The wife of reality star Jedidiah, 23, styled her long blonde hair in beachy waves and topped off her look with a brown Carhartt beanie.
Katey cradled her developing little one as she grinned with several other girls.
A Reddit user shared the post, captioned: “Mrs. Jed! Baby bump. She seems to be carrying strangely high, but then again maybe it’s the Jskirt.”
Jedidiah and his wife announced they were expecting their first child together in September, only a few months after they tied the knot.
Last month, the couple revealed the gender of their first child in a sweet family YouTube video.
The pair also took to their joint Instagram account to post two black-and-white stills from their gender reveal party, which a majority of the Duggar family appears to have been invited to.
In the first of two pictures, Jedidiah and Katey were shown smiling just moments after learning if they’re expecting a boy or a girl.
The second photo showed Jedidiah swinging at something, sending dust into the air.
They captioned the post: “And the gender of our baby is…,” directing fans to a YouTube video in which they confirmed they’re having a baby boy.
The video was filmed at a party, where family members gathered at what looks to be a park, ate together, and guessed at the child’s gender before the big reveal.
Joe Duggar, John Duggar, Abbie Burnett, Jana Duggar, and other members of the famous clan were present.
During the party, the family chowed down on themed snacks, choosing sides before gathering to find out the gender once and for all.
After learning the baby was a boy, someone could be heard shouting: “I knew it!” as Jedidiah and Katey kissed.
The celebration came after Jedidiah was accused of trying to “distract” from Josh’s child pornography scandal.
As the trial played out, Jedidiah shared photos from his engagement to Katey, which took place months earlier.
He captioned the photos: “Looking back on our romantic winter proposal on Valentine’s Day! It was -13°F and snowing! She was SO surprised!!”
Fans weren’t amused by what they perceived as a stunt from the ex TV star.
One person commented: “Damage control anyone? You brother is in court for possession of CSAM and all you can do is talk about your engagement as if nothing is happening?”
Another replied with: “Read the room Jed! Supporting your sick in the head brother and a jury is having to listen to the sick things he was watching and you’re over here reminiscing about your proposal, good lord.”
Josh was charged early in 2021 with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography.
He pleaded not guilty, but was accused of possessing sick images that were described by authorities as “the worst of the worst.”
The eldest Duggar son was found guilty and is in prison awaiting sentencing.
