Since the wholesome reality show 19 Kids and Counting debuted in 2008, TV audiences have followed the ups and downs of devout conservative Christian Arkansas couple Jim Bob Duggar, his wife Michelle and their 19 children.
Even after the show went off the air after 10 seasons, fans have been routinely updated with news from the ever-expanding brood. On April 23, the family’s eldest son Josh and his wife Anna – who memorably shared their first kiss on their televised wedding day in Season 2 – announced the impending arrival of their seventh child, a girl. Less than a week later, the couple made headlines again, this time breaking far more disturbing news.
BIG BROOD
Along with Josh (right, with his parents and pregnant wife Anna) Jim Bob and Michelle are parents to Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie.
Josh, 33, was arrested on April 29 on one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. He pled not guilty the following day in court.
FAMILY PORTRAIT
Josh met Anna at a Christian homeschooling convention back in 2006 when she was a teen. The pair began courting and wed in 2008. They went on to welcome six kids, with a daughter on the way.
