Spurgeon
Jessa and Ben’s eldest child, son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald, was born on November 5, 2015. A few months after Spurgeon’s birth, Jessa told US Weekly that she planned to raise her son differently than how she grew up in her extremely conservative family.
“Spurgeon is still pretty young, but I’m sure that as he continues to grow, I will find that I tend to do some things differently than my mom did,” Jessa said at the time.
“That’s the beauty of the individual family. No one is identical. There will be variations with little things here and there, but I know that our foundational goals remain the same — to raise our kids to love God and be a blessing to others,” she added.

Jessa and Ben’s second child, son Henry Wilberforce Seewald, was born on February 6, 2017.
Henry
Jessa said she chose the name Henry for her second son because she “really liked it.” Henry’s middle name is in honor of William Wilberforce, a politician and philanthropist who was instrumental in putting an end to the slave trade.
“I think it’s really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age,” Jessa said in the video.
“I know they’re going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together, so I’m looking forward to seeing that.”
