Jill Duggar, husband Derrick Dillard reveal heartbreaking news that she delivered her daughter stillborn at 4 months

Jill Duggar and her husband, Derrick Dillard, announced the devastating stillbirth of their first daughter.

The couple made the sad revelation that their daughter, Isla Marie Dillard, died in utero when Jill was four months pregnant. They had yet to announce that they were expecting baby No. 4.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the stillbirth of our beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post Saturday.

“Jill was 4 months pregnant (due in August) when we found out that our baby died in utero. From the moment we found out we were pregnant, we couldn’t wait to meet our baby. Isla was much loved from the start, and her 3 big brothers were so excited to introduce her to their world,” they went on.

“We appreciate your prayers as we continue to grieve and heal from the loss of our little Isla Marie,” Duggar, 32, and Derrick, 35, concluded the devastating announcement.

The “Counting On” alums — who are parents to sons Israel, 9, Samuel, 6, and Fredrick, 1 — were seen looking down at a pink crochet blanket in the social media snap.

Their friends and family members were quick to share messages of support.

Jill’s sister Jinger commented, “Love you so much, sis. Continuing to uphold you all in prayer. Sweet little Isla will be missed.”

Her cousin, Amy Duggar King, also chimed in, “Isla Marie such a beautiful name and meaning. Praying continuously. God has a plan through all the heartbreak. You’ve been on my mind and in our prayers and will continue to be. 💕 We love y’all so much.”

The couple, who tied the knot in June 2014 during a TV wedding on “19 Kids and Counting,” have distanced themselves from her family amid scandal surrounding her brother Josh.

The 36-year-old was sentenced to 12 years behind bars in May 2022 for receiving and possessing child pornography.

He was also accused of molesting five underage girls, including two of his sisters.

Jill has since detailed her childhood, and the secrets behind the “cult-like” religious teachings her family was raised with, in her 2023 book, “Counting the Cost.”
