Former TLC stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have been silent on social media for months, only sharing posts here and there. Finally, after a couple of months of silence, they have officially resurfaced. Stick around to see what might have kept them so quiet and what led them to post again.
The Duggar family stays silent amid Josh’s legal troubles.
If you’re a fan of the Duggars, or if you follow celebrity news, you might have heard about Josh’s arrest, the trial, and the guilty verdict. The oldest Duggar son was arrested in the spring of 2021 for receiving and possessing child pornography. He then went to trial in November and was found guilty in early December.
His sentencing date was recently delayed until May 25. He was originally supposed to be sentenced on April 5.
Throughout Josh’s legal troubles, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar seemed to stay pretty quiet online. During this time, the family received lots of criticism. So, by not posting, they may have avoided many of the negative comments they didn’t want to read.
Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar share a rare Instagram post.
On Sunday, March 27, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar finally broke their silence. Prior to this post, they had last shared a social media post on January 28, 2022. Before that one, they shared on November 25, 2021, for Thanksgiving.
So, it might come as a surprise that they would post anything. However, something big happened this weekend, so the family decided it was time to break their silence.
In a new Instagram post on Sunday, Jim Bob and Michelle announced the newest Mr. and Mrs. Duggar. They shared a photo from Jeremiah and Hannah’s wedding day, which was Saturday, March 26.
The family gushed:
“We were so happy to celebrate with Jeremiah and Hannah at their beautiful wedding yesterday! Congratulations on this exciting new chapter in your lives as husband and wife! 💕”

In the past, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have changed their Instagram settings to only allow a select few comments. It looks like they have put further limitations on their comments section this time, however.
It might take something big, like another wedding, courtship, or birth, to make the family post on social media again.
Five hours after Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar shared the post, only one comment had rolled in from their friends, the Bates. The comment reads, “What a gorgeous bride and groom! 😍”
