The Truth About How Jessa Duggar And Ben Seewald Met

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Friday, June 14, 2024

Once Seewald saw Duggar, he convinced his family to go to a Christian conference where he could see her and her brothers again. "Jim Bob and I talked for about 15 minutes or so, and I got his number!!! I was so pumped!" Seewald wrote on the couple's blog in March 2015.

Since Seewald lived far, he had to save up a lot to see Duggar. "I was working at a Country Club Golf Course at this time, and would work overtime to get what the other guys jokingly called my 'Duggar money,' so I could go up and visit Jessa's family about once every month and a half," he wrote. The now-father-of-three made sure to ask the Duggars ahead of time if the whole family was around before he would visit. "I wanted to make sure Jessa would be there before I drove four hours there and four hours back just for a few hours of church and fellowship on a Sunday," he wrote.

Eventually, Seewald asked Duggar's father for her number and they started courting. Seewald proposed on August 4, 2014 and the Counting On couple got married in November that year. They have since had three kids.
