Duggar fans shocked Jedidiah’s pregnant wife Katey wears jeans for FIRST TIME on anniversary as she defies family rules

JEDIDIAH Duggar’s pregnant wife Katey shocked fans by wearing pants for the first time as the couple posed at a marriage retreat.

The Duggar family lives by a strict set of standards regarding dress that typically excludes pants as an option, though more and more of the women in the family have been wearing them.

On Saturday, Jed, 23, and Katey shared a photo of themselves posing together at a marriage retreat.

The pair appeared to be smiling in front of a branded background, holding fun props in their hands.

Their caption read: “Celebrating our first anniversary with an amazing #weekendtoremember marriage retreat! We’d encourage every married couple to attend one near you!”

Fans couldn’t help but focus on one subtle detail in the photo: Katey swapper her usual skirt for a pair of jeans.

The couple’s photo was shared to Reddit where fans weighed in on her wardrobe.

In a thread on the platform, one user questioned: “Is this the first time Katey has been seen in pants?”

Another Duggar fan speculated: “I’m guessing she used to wear them before marriage?”

A third fan commented: “I am slightly shocked that Jed Bob allows pants,” adding that “the Duggars do seem to have loosened up in the last couple of years.”

Someone else joked: “It must have been weird to have been the only sister/SIL (besides Kendra) still in skirts.”

BABY ON THE WAY

In January, Jed and Katey announced the gender of their baby.

The couple took to their joint Instagram account to share the news, posting two black-and-white stills from their gender reveal party, which a majority of the Duggar family appeared to have attended.

In the first of two photos, Jed and Katey were shown smiling what appeared to be moments after they learned what they’re having.

The second photo showed Jed swinging at something, sending dust flying into the air.

They captioned the post: “And the gender of our baby is…,” directing fans to a YouTube video in which they showed all the details.

The video was filmed at the party, where most of the family – save Josh Duggar, who had been booked into jail prior to the gathering – spent time together at what looked to be a park.

The family was shown eating together, and making guesses about the child’s gender before the reveal.

Joe Duggar, John Duggar, Abbie Burnett, Jana Duggar and other members of the famous family were in attendance.

During the bash, the family chowed down on themed snacks, choosing sides before they gathered to find out the gender once and for all.

After confirming the baby was a boy, someone could be heard shouting: “I knew it!” as Jed and Katey kissed.

The gender reveal comes after Jed was accused of trying to “distract”from Josh’s child pornography scandal.

THEIR WEDDING

Jed and Katey exchanged vows in a traditional Duggar-style wedding.

That means there was no alcohol at the event and they skipped out on dancing in celebration.

Katey’s half brother Reed, who attended the wedding, spoke to Without a Crystal Ball about the big day.

“It was a chilled one. When I think of a wedding I think like ‘woo, party, open bar!'” he revealed.

“There was no alcohol and no dancing. It was short and sweet. It was pretty much like, vows and we ate.”

Katey and Jed are believed to have started dating in 2020 and tied the knot in a family ceremony.

Reed talked about some of the strict Christian values the Duggar family live by, including homeschooling, women not wearing pants, and no kissing or sex prior to marriage.

Katey’s big brother – who self-describes as a “liberal gay man living in LA” – told the outlet: “I kind of think that homeschooling is an interesting concept.

“I think that’s where you make a kid, in high school you have those experiences… you meet people, you learn how to be social.”

He continued: “Do I see women not wearing pants as normal? Obviously not. But, who am I to judge how people live their life? They seem happy and they love that.”

Of courtship he said: “The courting thing is funny to me. Like what? What year are we in?

“I personally look at it and I’m personally like, that’s a little crazy to me, I don’t know if I could marry someone without kissing them.”

THEIR VOWS

Jed and Katey’s vows sparked concern among some fans who noted that he vowed to be her “leader” and she promised to “submit” to her husband.

The Duggar son said in his vows: “God has ordained that the husband be the head of the wife.

“He instructs me as the one that will be your husband and love unconditionally as Christ loves the Church.

“With Christ and by his grace, I vow to be your humble, spiritual leader. To be a man of the word, to remain faithful to you.

“To stay open with you, guard you, protect you, listen to your needs and love you whether you are healthy or sick, rich or poor, young or old.”
