Josh Duggar is most notably known now for being the reason why 19 Kids and Counting got canceled in the first place, after it was revealed that he had molested several of his sisters, and was active on the cheating website Ashley Madison. But, wife Anna stayed with Josh, and they kept having children. (Duggar is currently awaiting sentencing following two guilty verdicts in his child pornography trial.)

Currently, they have seven kids: Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith, Mason, Maryella, and Madyson.

Jim Bob's niece Amy was the definite wild child of the Duggars, as she had a more conventional dating process with husband Dillon than the formal courting her cousins go through. After getting married in 2015, she and Dillon waited several years (which is also rare for a Duggar) before having a baby. Amy gave birth to son Daxton Ryan King in October 2019.

If you lost count, that means two Duggar couples are currently pregnant (at least that we know of). Many have grown up with the Duggars, and it's evident that the next generation is well on its way.
