The Duggar siblings celebrated Easter with their families.

With three of the 19 siblings away from their home base of Arkansas, many celebrate with their spouses and kids.

In the past, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar hosted a celebration at the Big House and shared some of that with the world.

Their social media presence has subsided since Josh Duggar went to prison, so the siblings typically shared their photos with followers to keep them engaged.

Easter is a huge holiday for the ultra-conservative family, and the celebration is likely as big, if not bigger, than Christmas.

Here’s how some of the Duggar siblings celebrated this year.

John David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett

John David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett celebrated Easter by attending church services. The couple posed with their two little ones, Gracie and Charlie.

They also shared a slide of Gracie and Charlie outside, looking adorable.

Counting On alums Jason and Jana Duggar made headlines this year after marrying their respective partners. They initially kept things discreet from the ceremony, but they’re now starting to share more photos and clips from their big day. Jana has also been more active on social media and YouTube, sharing her married life with Stephen Wissmann. But some Redditors discussed the recent rumors that Jana and her brother, Jason, may get a new spinoff with TLC. Keep reading to see the discussion.

Counting On: How Are Jason & Jana Duggar Today?

Jason has yet to share new updates with his wife. However, the Counting On alum is back with his workout routines. He recently shared an Ig Stories clip of himself jogging in the middle of the night. Jason’s wife, Maddie Grace, also made headlines earlier this month after telling a fan that they’re not rushing into having babies.

Counting On alum Jackson Duggar is one of the few children of Jim Bob and Michelle who still lives in the big house. The 20-year-old has also been very active in their church, performing at plays and singing for a choir. However, some fans think Jackson is taking things to the next level. Keep reading to see why he may be courting today.

Counting On: How’s Jackson Duggar Today?

Jackson occasionally appears in some of his siblings’ vlogs and social media posts. In May 2022, the Counting On alum made headlines after Jim Bob and Michelle sent him to Alert Academy, which is a controversial behavioral camp where Josh was once a camp member. This created speculation that Jackson may be dealing with behavioral issues and needed to be corrected. However, some believe Jim Bob and Michelle only wanted to prepare Jackson to become more mature as he enters adulthood.

The pool of available Duggars may have gotten a bit smaller.

After two Duggar weddings this year, another courtship could be expected.

Jason and Jana Duggar married off within months of each other and left three adult Duggars on the market.

Jackson Duggar is part of the “Lost Boys” and has remained mostly silent regarding dating.

The Counting On brother spends plenty of time with his big brothers, Jason and James, but he may soon be ready to join the ranks of married men.

Earlier this month, Jackson joined Instagram.

Typically, joining social media comes with an announcement when it involves the Duggar family.

However, there are different rules for the younger siblings, especially the boys.

Jackson Duggar joined the social media platform earlier this month and added a single photo of himself at what appears to be a rodeo.

Is a Jackson Duggar courtship announcement coming out?

Sometimes, developments within the Duggar family shock fans. Most of the time, the family is grimly unsurprising and downright predictable.

Jackson just debuted his very own Instagram account. He’s twenty years old … but the family has been fairly strict about social media, as it might expose the children (including adults) to other people and ideas.

However, there’s one major exception: courtships. If one of their children is on the cusp of marriage, social media is a great place to showcase their courting. Is Jackson about to be married?

Jackson turned 20 years old in May of 2024. Half a year later, he debuted on Instagram on November 8.

As you can see in the photo below...

When Counting On was canceled, Jackson Duggar was 16 going on 17. Born in 2004, he was the 14th child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Recently, he made his debut on Instagram, and TLC fans reacted to the news on social media.

Jackson Duggar Went To Iblp Training

There was never much news about Josh Duggar’s younger brother, but in 2022, some stuff emerged because he was allegedly sent to the Alert Academy, a military-style Iblp facility where young men are supposed to be redirected back to a Godly life.

According to the Duggar Family blog, Jackson Duggar is a nice guy and a hard-working son of Jim Bob Duggar. The Counting On family admin describes him as:

Talkative and outgoing, he makes friends easily and can strike up a conversation with just about anybody. Jackson has also mastered the art of telling a good joke! He’s a hard-worker, and since getting his drivers license,...

Counting On alum Jackson Duggar is among the remaining Duggar children who still don’t have a social media account. However, he still appears in some of his siblings’ vlogs and social media posts. Jackson previously raised suspicions after he was sent to Alert Academy, a controversial behavioral camp to which Josh was also sent. A Reddit thread also appears to further prove Jackson’s questionable actions as he hands out “fake” money to kids. Keep reading to see what happened.

Counting On: What Is Jackson Duggar Up To?

Despite his online absence, it’s been a busy year for Jackson. The Counting On alum often gets spotted performing at their church. There are times when he reenacts events from the Bible. He also performs with a choir, showing strong devotion to their church. Jackson was also spotted on a mission trip to Nicaragua with Austin and some of their churchmates.

Fans are asking if Jason Duggar went on a Honeymoon in Greece.

They also speculate that he and his new bride may have broken some Duggar rules. And no, it’s not the ones that you think.

In early October, Jason Duggar married Maddie Grace.

Fans have some accusations — and, perhaps, misunderstandings — about Jason’s post-nuptial plans with his new wife.

On October 3, Jason Duggar married Maddie Grace. The two had only been engaged for a couple of months, and had only been in a relationship — or close enough to one, by Duggar standards — for three months before that.

The sprawling guest list included many Duggars. So, too, did the wedding party. Jedidiah Duggar served as Jason’s Best Man.

James Dugar,...

It’s been wedding season for the Duggar family.

Jana Duggar and Jason Duggar tied the knot in less than two months.

Counting On viewers thought Jana may have remained unmarried, but she found her person in Stephen Wissmann after having an on-again-off-again relationship with him.

Jason found his wife on Instagram, which was unusual in the Duggar world. He remained single longer than expected, especially after several of his brothers married in succession.

Despite two more of their 19 kids being married, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar still have more to marry off before they become empty nesters.

Here’s which Duggar siblings are still unmarried.

Which Duggar siblings are still single?

Surprisingly, there are only three siblings who are over 18 and unmarried.

As the Duggar children grow up, many of them choose to forgo marriage immediately and live a bit of life before becoming a spouse.

James Duggar is...

Counting On alum Jason Duggar has been making headlines after marrying Maddie Grace. Things quickly happened between the two, and their marriage took many people by surprise.

Counting On alum Jason Duggar proposed to Maddie Grace in late August after announcing their courtship in June. Now they tied the knot in Tennessee, and many family members arrived to share their special day.

Jason And Maddie Grace Married In A Hurry

It’s not clear why the couple married so fast, but some TLC fans might think she should have held off. It seems that allegedly, Jason failed to renew his construction business license. Having contracted to undertake a lot of work, he failed to mention that, and the plaintiff is suing him for misrepresentation. Allegedly, he hasn’t completed all the work and wants to try and get out of it.

Jason Duggar has other income streams, so if necessary he could fall back on his tree-trimming venture to support his new wife, Maddie Grace. As for the wedding, as the Counting On family seems very conservative,...

They announced their engagement just a few days after Jana’s August wedding and teased their wedding would take place in Spring 2025.

However, that was not the case, as the couple wed on October 3.

Despite the devastation Helene left through the southeast, Jason and Maddie’s wedding went on at the venue they booked near her hometown of Newport, Tennessee.

Jason Duggar’s wedding details were being kept as hush hush as the identity of his bride. But perhaps the couple didn’t have time to talk about the wedding because they had so little time to plan it!

After just a two month engagement, Jason tied the knot with his beloved Maddie in a not-so-small ceremony in Tennessee.

Here’s what Jason would look like if he got cold feet on his wedding day. (We’re sure that won’t happen – right?) (TLC/Youtbe) The Wedding Details

Counting On alum Jana Duggar is back with her regular updates on social media after a 2-year hiatus. Many are glad that the 34-year-old finally decided to document her life again, despite all the controversies that her family has faced in recent years. Jana’s return also created multiple speculations, including a possible engagement. The oldest Duggar daughter also took to YouTube to share a new vlog featuring her “never-before-seen” project for her siblings. Keep reading to see her surprising video.

Counting On: Jana Duggar Sparks Engagement Rumors

Jana recently took to Instagram to share her bonding time with Abbie and John-David Duggar. The photos seemed normal at first. But many were caught off-guard when the Counting On alum shared a photo with her brother while wearing a ring on her engagement finger. This sparked speculation that she may have been engaged behind cameras, and she’s finally soft-launching it.

It’s been a while since Jessa Duggar was super active on social media.

The Counting On star welcomed her fifth child, George, earlier this year after suffering a heartbreaking loss in 2022.

Jessa had experienced two miscarriages, with the last one requiring a D&c (dilation and curettage), which caused quite a bit of pushback for the family.

After welcoming him, she took some time away from social media and has shared only a few updates and partnership ads.

However, the reality TV star shared a six-month update of her little “cherub.”

Since she hasn’t posted much, some of her followers were confused about how many kids she and Ben Seewald had and even their names.

Jana Duggar is the eldest daughter and still lives on the family compound.

Earlier this year, she returned to social media after a years-long hiatus, and now, she is back with a new video after seemingly abandoning YouTube.

It was a short look at the Duggar family farm. Having animals is new for the family since Counting On was canceled.

We learned about Jennifer raising lambs and other farm animals when she visited Joy-Anna Duggar’s house, but little else has been said about what they do on “the farm.”

The former Counting On star showed viewers what they’ve done, including building fences, sheds, and an awning. Jana and her sisters helped with the process, and Jackson Duggar was there to help, too.

Could there be a Duggar farm push on the way? Perhaps a channel dedicated to what they do there? After all, they have to make money somehow.

Counting On alum Jinger Duggar opened up on what she thinks of making kids become sister moms to their siblings. Actually, she opened up a lot recently. So, when fans sleuthed out the fact that she’s got a new book slated for 2025, they wondered if her candid discussions prepare her readers.

Jinger Duggar Spoke Emotionally About Her Childhood

It seems hard to be the daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, especially if you are a girl. While fans already knew about all the rules, it’s it’s not often that TLC fans see their daughter in tears over it. In a recent podcast, she cried as she talked about her unbalanced childhood.

Until recently, some Redditors speculated that he’s already courting. Keep reading to see the shocking discovery.

The 19-year-old doesn’t have a social media account, making it harder for fans to get updates about him. Until recently, the 15th Duggar child resurfaced with his brother-in-law, Austin Forsyth. Keep reading to see their big trip together.

Counting On: Jackson Duggar Attends Controversial Behavior Camp

In May 2022, photos of Jackson at Alert Academy appeared online. Many were shocked by the Counting On alum’s participation in the behavior camp, as it was the same place where Jim Bob and Michelle sent their oldest and convicted son, Josh. According to some, there’s a possibility that Jackson may be facing issues with his own behavior. But others believe that it’s just Jim Bob and Michelle’s way of making him more mature.

The “miracle” Duggar child is all grown up.

Josie Duggar was born earlier than her due date. She was a micro-preemie, as she was born at 25 weeks gestation.

At that point, the Duggar family already had a following, and her birth is one of those things critics and fans remember.

Despite only weighing a little over a pound when she was born, Josie has blossomed into a petite young lady and is almost all grown up.

She is the youngest Duggar daughter and celebrated her 14th birthday in December.

Seeing Josie made up was shocking, especially since it’s been a few years since the family was actively on TV.

Josie Duggar pops up in Joy-Anna Duggar’s vlog

Joy-Anna Duggar shares a weekly vlog with her followers, often including family events in them.

This time, the former Counting On star focused on her little get-together with her younger siblings — and a lamb.

James Duggar is known for adventures with his “bros.”

The group of unmarried Duggar male siblings often spend time together doing things like riding their motor toys, skiing, or various other activities in a group setting.

Tyler Hutchins isn’t technically a Duggar, but he remained in the home with the brood for several years. He is the son of Michele’s niece, but following the release of Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets, he went back to live with his biological mother’s family.

Despite his living arrangements, he seems close to James and Jackson Duggar, the two he was paired with while living with the Duggars.

And what better way to spend a warm day than to hang out with your “bros” while riding around the Duggar compound?

That’s exactly what James, Jackson, and Tyler did recently.

Tyler Hutchins is still considered a Duggar ‘bro’

Josie's father, Pastor Gil Bates officiated the ceremony, and Josie's older sisters Erin Paine and Tori Bates performed music for the ceremony on piano and violin, according to Us Weekly.

Kendra Caldwell is skating off with Joseph Duggar‘s heart.

In Monday night’s episode of Counting On, Caldwell and Joseph – who said “I do” earlier this month – go on their very first date.

Under the watchful eyes of his younger brothers, James and Jackson Duggar, the 22-year-old takes Caldwell rollerblading.

“I think I rollerbladed once, but I was really not very good at it, but we’ll see how I do today,” admits Caldwell, 19, going into the date.

Opening up about the set-up of their courtship, Caldwell explains, “My modesty standards are very similar to the Duggars’ standards. Wearing...

In recent months, the Duggars have found themselves mired in scandal.

The initial scandal broke in May, when a 2006 police report revealed that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's eldest son Josh had molested five underage girls as a teen. Two of his sisters, Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald subsequently stepped forward as two of the victims.

Following the news, TLC officially canceled the family's reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, after nine seasons.

In his statement regarding the molestation scandal, Josh claimed his mistakes were in the past – but three months later, reports revealed that he had signed up for Ashley Madison,...
