Duggar family news 2017: Is Joseph Duggar's wife pregnant? Fans grow suspicious after photo hides her body

Most of the Duggar kids from "Counting On" immediately get pregnant after marriage, so after Joseph tied the knot with Kendra Caldwell earlier this year, fans of the TLC show became keen to see him embrace parenthood.

When Kendra's parents, Paul and Christina, updated their Facebook page's cover photo recently, all eyes zeroed in on Kendra. The photo showed the Caldwell family including Joe, but Kendra's body was completely hidden behind her mother's frame.

Fans grew suspicious that she might be hiding her belly bump, and they took to Reddit to discuss her possible pregnancy. "I'm calling it now! At some point Kendra and her mom will be pregnant at the same time!" a Reddit user wrote.

"Is it a coincidence that Kendra's whole body is behind her mother's? If they want hide a pregnancy...they've done it well since you can't see Kendra at all," another added. Meanwhile, a different netizen commented that "the fact that Kendra has her entire body blocked by her mother is making me suspicious already."

However, not everybody was quick to jump on the pregnancy bandwagon. "I highly doubt that's why she's standing there. They got married in September so even if she got pregnant on their wedding night she's at most around 3 months. She probably wouldn't be showing at all and if she was slightly you wouldn't be able to tell as long as her shirt/dress wasn't skin tight," a fan wrote. "I think it more had to do with having the married couples in the center of the photo, and it just makes more sense to me to have the older couple/parents in the very front."

Joseph proposed to Kendra on May 26 - the same day that his sister, Joy-Anna, tied the knot with Austin Forsyth. After a three-month engagement, they got married in Arkansas. "We are thankful for how the Lord has brought us together, and look forward to serving Christ now as husband and wife," the couple said in a statement.
