Prior to this, the father-to-be dropped a hint about when Joy-Anna is due. He took to Instagram to announce that he felt his baby kick for the first time a few days ago. He also said that their baby is now the size of a bell pepper and weighs about half a pound, which suggests that she is around 18 weeks.
Rumors about Joy-Anna being pregnant before her marriage to Austin started circulating when the couple first announced the news in August, three months after they tied the knot. Fans grew suspicious as photos of Joy-Anna's baby bump surfaced, and she appeared to be farther along in her pregnancy than what they claim.
On Tuesday, OBGYN Dr. Sean Henry told Radar Online that the reality star's bump looks bigger than 20 weeks. The medical professional suggested that she could be around 24 to 26 weeks pregnant.
Shortly after the couple went public with the pregnancy in August, a Dr. Stuart Fischer suggested that they could be lying about their due date. The medical professional claims that Joy-Anna, based on their announcement video, is already four to five months pregnant.
The Forsyths have yet to reveal the baby's gender. While Joy-Anna believes it could be a boy, Austin suspects it to be a girl.
"Counting On" season 3 airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
