Anna Duggar & Josh Duggar Expecting Fifth Child! How Did They Get Here After Their ‘Breach Of Trust?’

Friday evening, Josh and his wife Anna Duggar announced that they are expecting their fifth child. While the Duggars are used to mixed feedback, when it comes to their growing family, Josh and Anna’s baby news came as quite the surprise more than anything as it’s been just two years since Josh admitted to molesting five girls when he was a teen and having an extramarital affair. However, Josh and Anna released a statement saying they have worked extremely hard to get to this place.

“For nearly the last two years, we have quietly worked to save our marriage, focus on our children, and rebuild our lives together as a family,” the couple said in a post shared on the Duggar family’s blog.  “Doing so is never easy after a breach of trust. We’ve learned that a life of faith and rebuilding a life together is simply done one day at a time.”

Following his scandal, Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center and later began marriage counseling with Anna before slowly returning back to the public eye in fall of 2016.

Then in November, the couple was spotted for a night out, with Anna’s sister Priscilla and her husband David Waller, following Josh’s sister Jinger Duggar’s wedding.  Most recently, the Duggar family blog shared a photo of Josh with his immediate family for his 29^th birthday, with the caption: “We pray that you diligently follow and serve the Lord…”
