Kendra and Joe first announced the new addition back in April, revealing the news exclusively to Us Weekly then as well.
“We are ready to double the fun at our house!” they told the outlet at the time. “Being parents has already proven to be a greater joy than we had hoped or imagined. We love getting to parent together and are loving every moment and milestone. We are very happy that our little family will welcome a new addition later this year. Children really are a blessing from God!”

In October, Kendra spoke with Us Weekly again, and addresses how the couple was doing with their 1-year-old son Garrett, and how she felt about the eventuality of having two kids under 2 years old in the same house.
“We’re kind of already in that napping, changing diapers groove with Garrett still, so I think it will be just adding another [to that],” she said. “We’ll both be busy, I guess. All hands will be tied up taking care of little ones, but there are always challenges. [Our son] can’t do much himself, so he’s going to need a lot of help, but we’re excited about this new chapter.”
Prior to that, Kendra also spoke candidly about the prospect of more children in the future, saying, “We would love to have more kids if the Lord blesses us. As many as He wants to give us, we’ll be happy to take them.”
