Fans were thrilled to see some pics of the little one, whose dad is disgraced Duggar son Josh. When Josh’s molestation scandal was exposed in 2015, his family’s show 19 Kids and Counting was pulled from TLC. He was later caught cheating on his wife Anna via the infidelity website Ashley Madison, and entered a Christian-based treatment center for 6 months.
Fans said they missed “seeing this sweet family” on TLC and praised Mackynzie’s mom for sticking by Josh’s side throughout the scandals. “Sweet Mackenzie looks just like her mama. I bet she has a sweet heart just like her mama. Thankful for this family standing strong in their marriage. It is an important testimony for us to witness,” one fan wrote.
