Former ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star Anna Duggar Returns to Social Media After 5-Year Hiatus
After almost a five-year hiatus, Anna Duggar has returned to social media.
The former 19 Kids and Counting star, 37, shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday, February 17, showcasing some of the new puppies she has for sale from her Golden Grove Pups breeding business.
“Hi there! We are just waiting for our vet appointment, and I thought I would introduce you to some of our guys,” Anna said in the clip she filmed from her car while holding several of the puppies. “They’re just sweet little guys. One thing about English Creams is that they seem to be a much milder breed.”
The mom of seven has largely stayed out of the spotlight since her husband, Josh Duggar, was found guilty of downloading and possessing child sex abuse images in 2021.
He was officially sentenced to 151 months, or roughly 12.5 years, in prison in May 2022.
As In Touch previously reported in July 2024, sources revealed that Josh and Anna were struggling financially amid his imprisonment.
“Their savings aren’t limitless and not much is coming in,” a source said at the time. “And there’s little hope of any of them ever getting another reality show.”
While they had previously depended on income from the reality show 19 Kids and Counting, at one point Josh considered writing a tell-all book to supplement his family’s finances.
“He has nothing to lose at this point, and certainly his wife could use the money,” the source told In Touch. “Finances are a huge issue right now, so a book would mean a big payday for Josh. And no one would be off limits — including this own family.”
As of now, he hasn’t published anything.
