The couple, who share sons Israel, 5, and Samuel, 3, left the TLC series Counting On in 2017. "We ended up finding out we didn’t have as much control over our lives as it related to the show and stuff as we felt like we needed," Duggar detailed. "So we had to make a decision at that time to kind of put the show aside just to pursue our own goals and everything."

However, don't expect to see the pair on the small screen anytime soon as they have no plans to return to reality TV at the moment. "We have our lives back now," stated Dillard.

Prior to Counting On, Duggar was part of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, which followed her large family's doings. Duggar has raised eyebrows recently for stating activities that contradict her conservative upbringing, such as drinking alcohol and using non-hormonal birth control.
