Josh and Anna are still together despite Josh's suspected infidelities, molestation accusations and child pornography conviction.

As of June 2023, Anna still lives at the Duggar family home in Arkansas.

What religion is the Duggar family?

The Duggars are part of the non-denominational religious organization known as the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), who take pride in living conservatively.

Their reality shows 19 Years & Counting and Counting On frequently touch on their values and their relationship with God. 

The Duggars avoid birth control, saying they have decided to allow God to determine the number of children they have.

Mom Michelle Duggar attributes her use of contraceptives to suffering a miscarriage.

All of the children are homeschooled, and access to entertainment such as movies and television is limited.

The Duggars also practice chaperoned courtship, in which a couple becomes acquainted only in a group setting.

Where is Josh Duggar today?

He is a former American television personality and political activist.

It was revealed several years ago that he had been accused of molesting multiple underage girls, including four of his sisters when he was 14 and 15.

In April 2021, Duggar was arrested and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.

He was found guilty of the charges on December 9, 2021, and was sentenced to 12 and a half years.

In 2015, TLC network pulled the plug on 19 Kids and Counting after the allegations surfaced.

Counting On, a spin-off show, premiered in December 2015 and the ninth season premiered February 11, 2019.

The spin-off follows the lives of the older Duggar children as they get married and start families of their own.

On March 30, 2021, the family's new show, Counting On: A New Life airs on TLC at 10pm.

In November 2015, porn star Ashley Johnston, also known by her stage name Danica Dillon, accused Duggar of sexually assaulting her.

Johnston accused him in a lawsuit and interviews of choking, spitting and calling her "worthless" during rough intercourse.

She eventually dropped the lawsuit and Duggar has always denied the allegations.

She alleged that they met in March 2015, at a Philadelphia strip club, where she was then working and that Josh paid her $600 for lap dances before inviting her to his room.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Johnston, 33, said she has always told the truth about the alleged assault, which she described as being so intense it felt "like this guy tried to kill me," according to the lawsuit.

Months before Johnston accused Duggar for sexually assaulting her, news broke that Duggar had paid for a Ashley Madison Account.

The then 27-year-old paid an account on service that assists married people in having affairs.

He admitted to cheating on his wife and to being addicted to porn.

How can I watch Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets?

Shiny Happy People, a new documentary series investigating the Duggar family, was released in June 2023.

The docuseries explores Josh's crimes and the family's promotion of fringe religious group Institute in Basic Life Principles.
