Last year, Joy-Anna opened up about her pregnancy struggles on “Counting On.” While she wanted a home birth, she was rushed to a hospital because Gideon was in breech position. Upon arrival, she underwent an emergency C-section.
After Gideon's arrival, she shared, “We are doing well. Love you guys, thank you for your prayers. We are so happy that our little one has finally arrived and we're parents.”
Joy-Anna and Austin tied the knot in May 2017 after five months of courtship. They were close friends for 15 years before he popped the question.
