The Duggars have become a household name thanks to their continually growing family, but it all started with Jim Bob Duggar and wife Michelle Duggar.
After tying the knot in 1984, Jim Bob and Michelle welcomed their first child, son Joshua, in 1988. The pair then went on to have 18 more children, with their youngest, daughter Josie, being born in December 2009.
The family’s day-to-day activities were documented on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting for 15 seasons from 2008 to 2015. Some of the kids then branched off on their own, starring on Counting On, beginning in 2015. The spinoff was canceled after 11 seasons in 2021 following Josh’s sexual misconduct scandal. (He is currently in prison after being convicted of possessing and child pornography.)
In March 2026, Joseph Duggar was arrested on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older. He is currently awaiting extradition to Bay County, Florida.
