Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar kiss and laugh during family party after disgraced son Josh arrested on child porn charges
COUNTING On stars Jim Bob and Michelle laughed and kissed while celebrating Father’s Day with their family over the weekend at a large outdoor party.
The reality star couple had been staying under the radar after their son Josh was arrested on charges of “possessing 65 images of child porn including some toddlers.”
Joy-Anna commented on the Duggar Family’s Instagram video of the large family reunion: “Best way to spend Father’s Day!
”
In the video, Jim Bob and Michelle shared a passionate kiss, while surrounded by their kids and grandkids.
The Counting On couple laughed with one another and played some outdoor games with everyone, including the lawn game Rollors.
Everyone was all smiles as they joked around with one another, cheesed for the camera, played around, and took photos with one another, including some baby bump snaps with pregnant Jessa.
Aside from Michelle being seen briefly earlier this month, she and Jim Bob hadn’t been seen since Josh was arrested on child porn charges in late April.
After being released from jail, Josh was ordered to reside in a third-party home until his trial on July 6 and is staying with good friends of his parents, Michelle and Jim Bob.
Josh has been ordered not to interact with any minors unless they are his own children and his wife, Anna, is present.
Anna, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s seventh child, has decided to stay by her husband’s side.
An insider claimed she is continuing to support Josh throughout the scandal and has no plans to divorce him.
“Anna is standing by her husband as she always has,” a source said.
Despite dealing with her son’s legal troubles, Michelle resurfaced for the first time onscreen in months to spend some time with Joy-Anna earlier in June for her fourth wedding anniversary with husband Austin Forsyth.
The Duggar matriarch showed up in her daughter’s new YouTube video, which was all about her and her husband’s big day and how they chose to celebrate.
Counting On fans got a big surprise when Michelle appeared toward the end of the 12-minute vlog, as she hadn’t been seen onscreen since a special for their TLC show.
When the camera cuts to Michelle bending down on the ground to play with her 9-month-old granddaughter Evy, Joy said to her: “Look who showed up!”
The family’s at the dentist office as Joy’s son Gideon, 3, needed to have his teeth cleaned and checked out for the first time.

Michelle smiled at Joy and chuckled before turning her attention back to Evy, rocking her in her little carrier.
Then Michelle’s 11-year-old daughter ran into the dentist office and gave her mom a big hug, as if it had been a while since they last saw each other
“It’s like we’re having a family reunion in here,” Jim Bob’s wife said, as some of the office employees stood by the door and looked on.
