19 Children and Number aired on TLC from 2008 to 2015, and followed a faithful Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) family as Jim Bob and Michelle’s young children grew into teenagers and adults.

As for re-creating a clan of 19 children of her own, Jessa said in a social media clip in May 2025 that she had no intention of bringing so many children into the world. “I don’t have 19 kids, but honestly, my mom is my hero. I love her, I love her [and] she’s my role model in so many ways,” Jessa said at the time.
“Her patience, her love, her kindness [and] his kind words. She is a golden example of a mother, in my opinion. So, when people say, ‘Do you want to be like your mother?’ I’m like, ‘Yes, please, Lord, help me.'”
