Lots of young, newly-married celebs are constantly at the center of pregnancy rumors, but with Jill Duggar, there’s good reason for it.
Jill and her husband Derick Dillard have been married for nearly two years, and she gave birth to son Israel Dillard just ten months after they got hitched.
That’s about the rate of procreation that people expect from the Duggars, but Jill and Derick have slowed their baby-making efforts considerably and little Izzy remains an only child.
Part of the problem, of course, is that Jill and Derick have been doing missionary work in Central America – a region currently being ravaged by the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
Women living in Central American nations have been cautioned to avoid getting pregnant for the next two years.
For a Duggar daughter, that’s like being told not to inhale oxygen for the next two years.
While it goes against their beliefs, there have been rumors of Jill and Derick using birth control or simply practicing abstinence out of fear of the virus, which has been shown to have devastating effects on the children of infected mothers.
So it was a surprise for Jill’s Instagram followers when she posted what many are interpreting as a hint that she’s carrying twins:
As you can see, the pic shows 1-year-old Israel entertaining himself with a mirror.
Nothing strange there – but Jill’s caption for the pic really has fans talking.
“This is how you entertain yourself when you don’t have any siblings yet… #mirrorbaby #twins?” Jill wrote.
The most likely interpretation is that Jill is simply joking about the fact that Izzy looks as though he’s playing with a twin brother in the photo.
But we can see why some folks think this is a subtle announcement.
Many believe Jill’s been hiding a baby bump in recent pics, and with the Duggar gals it’s pretty much always safe to assume one of them is pregnant.
