John-David Duggar (Maybe!) Hints That Abbie Burnett is Pregnant

You know how the saying goes, don’t you? For John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett, first came love, as they started courting in June of this year. Then came marriage, as the couple exchanged vows in early November . And now comes a baby in a baby carriage? Perhaps, the Internet is speculating, based on the photo John-David shared on Instagram yesterday, following by a possibly revealing caption. For starters, as you can tell, Duggar is covering up his wife’s stomach, maybe because there’s a child growing inside of there and she isn’t ready to show off her bump just yet. More interestingly, however, this is what he wrote along with the cute snapshot. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas! “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 It doesn’t take a giant leap in logic to decipher this quote a certain way, does it? John-David came right out and talked about a child being born. Cue the questions and the comments! “Are y’all expecting?” one fan wrote. “Oooh a baby hint :),” said another. Granted, Duggar and Burnett have been husband and wife for less than two months. But this is the Duggar family, folks. They get right to baby-making as soon as those vows are exchanged. Cases in point: John-David’s sister Joy-Anna, and his sister-in-law, Kendra, both got pregnant on their honeymoons. For now, however, neither Duggar nor Burnett are saying anything else on the topic. They’re just focused, publicly, on their new marriage and all the joys it has brought them to date. “It little surreal because I’ve dreamed about [seeing her in a wedding gown] ever since I met Abbie,” Duggar said in a video the newlyweds filmed prior to even taking off their wedding attire last month. He added at the time that the pair’s only real immediate plans involved “serving God together and spending time together.” This time may have been without any clothes on and without any protection being used to prevent a pregnancy. As for their wedding itself? “We are so excited to be married!” the stars told Us Weekly very soon after it transpired, saying of the event: “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. “This is going to be an amazing journey!” And we can’t wait to be along for the ride!

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: MARRIED!

John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett have finally gotten fo first base. And now they’re prepared to go all the way… … as husband and wife! The couple, who started courting in June and announced their engagement a month later, went ahead and got married on Saturday, November 3. They confirmed the exciting news to Us Weekly via a statement that reads: “We are so excited to be married! “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together.  “This is going to be an amazing journey!” The Duggar family also made the nuptials public by writing a post titled “Husband and Wife!” on its official blog that includes this passage: “We are overjoyed for the two of them to begin their married life together.  We know the Lord has brought them together and will use them to reach many people. “We are so happy to be surrounded by family and friends and we thank you all for your prayers and support for John and Abbie.” Many members of his famous family were afraid that John-David would never find a mate, but he seemed VERY into Abbie as soon as the pair made their relationship romantic. We often heard the two were breaking Duggar courtship rules on the reg, snuggling and even kissing in public. They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other , according to various reports. Touching of pretty much any kind before marriage is forbidden by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Now, however, nothing is off limits. We’d have to imagine John-David and Abbie took full advantage of their new status on their wedding night, as they addded a section of their own in the aforementioned blog post. “We are so excited to be married!” it reads. “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. “Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. This is going to be an amazing journey!” This bride and groom knew of each other for several years before they started courting, although Burnett said over the summer that she “really got connected” to Duggar when the TLC personality visited her native Oklahoma for a church event. Abbie lives there and works there as a nurse. In a network-sponsored video, meanwhile, Duggar and Burnett explained that they “fell in love very quickly,” saying together after agreeing to marry in July: Wow! We are engaged! This feels even more real than before! It was a special moment to share together. The proposal and the ‘YES’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life. We are so thankful that He led us to one another. And now He has led them into marriage. In June, as you likely know, another Counting On family member, Joshiah Duggar, married Lauren Swanson in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. For more details on Duggar and Burnett’s big day, fans will be able can get a first look of the ceremony on November 20 on TLC GO. And they can also tune in November 27 at 10/9c to see the wedding special on TLC. Congrats to the newlyweds!

90 Day Fiance Recap: You’re an Alcoholic!

An Uber was used to take one couple to a certain destination on 90 Day Fiancé: Before 90 Days this week. But a fight between this same couple in this same car left us unsure just where their future was headed. Allow us to explain… On the latest installment of this oddly popular reality show, Jesse traveled to New York because he thought it was time to end things with Darcey… for good. However, the latter was optimistic about meeting her man and thought he was only coming to America in the name of eternal love and happiness. “The way this relationship has been going, I don’t know exactly why he’s here. I just hope it’s to work things out,” Darcey said. “He wouldn’t come all this way if he didn’t truly love me.” What an adorable and unfortunate way to look at things, right? Once the two got in a the aforementioned Uber to head to the hotel, though, hell broke loose; chaos reigned; and accusations flew. The reality stars started yelling at one another because Jesse discovered that Darcey was arrested for hitting her sister and never told him. He also added that she needed to “get therapy for (her) alcoholism,” prompting Darcey to storm out of the car. “You don’t love me. You never did, you liar,” she screamed. “Get out of my life.” Elsewhere on this explosive episode: Rachel and her child headed to Great Britain to be with Jon before their wedding day. What should have been a glorious occasion, however, turned sour after she learned that Jon was corresponding with one of his exes over social media and voiced her very understandable concerns. Evidently, Jon told his former girlfriend that he had loved her in the past, which is what really hurt Rachel the most. Makes sense, right? “It was like I was stabbed with a knife, and when I saw the world ‘love,’ the knife twisted,” she said sadly. Jon tried to clear things up by explaining he was telling his ex about his great relationship and needed to apologize for breaking her heart. But this didn’t smooth things over much. “I am ashamed of the person I was,” Jon said. As for the other couples? A quick rundown: – Angela gave Michael an engagement ring AND an American flag — and he reciprocated! It was a double proposal! “It’s the best day of my life,” Michael said. “Donald Trump, I’m coming to see you.” – Ximena was willing to forgive Ricky for coming to Columbia for another woman, as long as he leaped into a freezing cold lake. “For Ricky to regain my trust if he wants, he will have to show me,” she said. Ricky obeyed, the crew rushed in to help him — and then he proposed and she accepted! – Karine decided NOT to divorce Paul so they could raise their kid in a loving home, leaving Paul very excited, yet also a tad bit nervous about being a dad. Tragically, Karine then learned she had suffered a miscarriage. “I was praying for him to be OK but it wasn’t like that,” she said. “It was unexpected for me to find out he wasn’t OK.” – Finally, despite family members not approving of their romane, Tarik and Hazel pushed on. “I definitely love you and I don’t care what anybody says,” the former said. On the final day, the pair reconciled and Tarik proposed to Hazel by playing her a rap he wrote about her. A very awkward silence followed. “She took a long time,” he said, and then turned to Hazel. “Why did you take so long?” 90 Day Fiance: Before 90 Days airs Sundays on TLC at 8/7c.

John David Duggar & Abbie Burnett: We Make Our Own Courtship Rules!

It's been just over a month since the world learned that John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett are engaged . And in that time, the couple has faced far greater scrutiny than any previous Duggar couple. The reason for that, of course, is that John David and Abbie break “the courtship rules” so frequently (and openly) that it often seems they're not bound by the same strictures that his siblings were forced to abide by. And now, the young lovebirds have posted a pic that's being interpreted as proof that they've made their own rules and couldn't care less about Jim Bob's commandments … 1. The Happy Couple John David began courting much later in life than any of his male siblings, but it looks as though his patience has truly paid off. 2. Wasting No Time He and Abbie moved fast once they found each other, and John David popped the question after just a few weeks of dating. 3. Hands On From the start of their relationship, John David and Abbie appeared to be less skittish about physical contact than their predecessors. 4. Bold Move In fact, they rather brazenly violated his family’s arcane rules about premarital physical contact. 5. The Rules If you’re a fan of the Duggar clan, then you’re probably already aware that Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring are forbidden to engage just about any form of physical contact prior to marriage. 6. The Origins Many of the rules prohibiting “front-hugs” and dictating how long unmarried couples are permitted to hold hands are culled from the teachings of the Duggars’ church, but others were invented by Jim Bob and Michelle themselves.

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: They… Are… Courting!

John-David Duggar has apparently come out of the closet. No, not like that . You do know which famous family he’s a part of, right? Last summer, though, we EXCLUSIVELY reported that John-David was involved in a secret courtship . That may or may not have been the case at the time. But now this Counting On cast member has gone public with a verified courtship, confirming to Us Weekly that he has taken this very, very serious step with Abbie Grace Burnett. “Abbie and I are just so excited, we’ve known of each other for several years,” the 28-year-old told the aforementioned tabloid of this relationship, adding: “We fell in love very quickly and it’s been a wonderful journey thus far.” This exciting piece of news comes about two years after Jinger Duggar sort of claimed that her brother was involved with some other woman, as questions about John-David’s love life have been plaguing the Internet for a long time now. The guy is 28 years old after all. That’s like retirement age for the Duggars in terms of courting, marrying and then having many babies. He’s fallen way behind already! This comes as little surprise to anyone familiar with John-David, as he’s considered the most quiet of almost all Duggars and perhaps the one least interested in the spotlight. John-David is Michelle and Jim Bob’s second-oldest son, the twin brother of fan favorite Jana Duggar… yet you probably know very little about him. He works as a pilot, firefighter and sheriff’s deputy and he sometimes clashes with his conversation/controlling father. There’s even been talk that Duggar may walk away from reality television entirely ! Abbie, who is 26, says the following to Us Weekly about when her love first bloomed for this reluctant TLC cast member: “John flew in for a church event here in Oklahoma where I’m from. We really got connected then.” Well… okay then! We see that she is a woman of few words. No wonder these two get along so well! According to the now-defunct BurnettFamily10 blog that was once run by Burnett’s family, Abbie had seven siblings as of 2010, including a brother whose hyphenated name is strikingly similar to that of her future husband. On the archived “About” section of this since-deleted blog, her siblings are listed as John-Clay, Hannah, Caleb, Charity, twins Maggie and Carinna and Benjamin. And according to the TLC website, Abbie works as a nurse, which makes her a perfect match for volunteer first responder John-David. She also resides in Oklahoma, while John-David lives in Arkansas with his family. We wonder where they will live if they get married. “Big news! #JohnDavidDuggar has a special someone,” wrote TLC on its official Instagram account this week, adding as a tease: “Visit TLCme.com to meet the happy couple, and learn more about #AbbieBurnett.” Wow. She has her own hashtag. This really must be serious! John-David one quipped that he’ll be a “bachelor until the rapture,” so he truly must have intense feelings for Abbie. Or he must feel intense pressure from his loved ones. Either way… best of luck to the new and official couple! View Slideshow: Duggar Family Courtship Application: Revealed!

Duggar Family: Did They Secretly Visit Josh in Rehab on Christmas?

Last week, we reported that Josh Duggar would be spending Christmas in rehab , having not completed his course of treatment at the faith-based Reformers Unanimous facility in Illinois. Obviously, Josh’s actions have had a profound negative impact on his family over the past year, but even so, members of the Duggar clan have visited Josh in rehab and reported back that he seems to be doing well. Now, Radar Online is claiming that at least two members of the Duggar clan visited Josh on Christmas Eve , and they seemed to go to great lengths to keep the trip a secret. The website reports that younger brother John David Duggar’s private plane touched down on a small landing strip in Rockford, Illinois on December 24. Rockford is located less than two hours from Josh’s treatment center, and the Duggars have used the same landing strip when visiting him in the past. Witnesses say John David and a woman who was sporting the waist-length hair and old-fashioned clothing favored by the Duggar women were escorted from the plane to a white van with tinted windows. Sources were unable to confirm if the woman was actually a Duggar, or if other members of the family joined John-David on the trip. According to former Reformers Unanimous clients, only “patients” who are abiding by the rules and progressing with their treatment are permitted to receive visitors, so we can safely assume that Josh is showing signs of rehabilitation. Of course, the 27-year-old father of four has demonstrated quite the knack for telling people what they want to hear over the years.  View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled

John David Duggar: Single and NOT Ready to Mingle!

Earlier this week, reports that  John David Duggar is courting a “mystery brunette” had the Duggar family faithful preparing for another member of the famous family to be married off. Now, however, it looks as though there is no chaste side-hugging romance in JDD’s life, and to make matters worse, his parents insist on reminding the world that he’s a 24-year-old virgin. “Just thought we’d set the record straight,” Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar wrote on their blog today. “John David is not courting and not in a relationship…and he has never been in one! [He is] still looking and waiting for the right one.” JD, bro – you’re 24! The right one is anyone and the right time is now! We kid! The Duggars have their own courtship process and it seems to be working for them so far. And from the sound of things, John shouldn’t have anything to worry about, in terms of finding a mate: “John is still single, ladies,” the Duggars wrote online. “And he has an airplane!”  We’ve seen enough rap videos to know there’s no point in having your own plane unless you’re filling it with willing groupies. Hopefully John David will start using that thing to get his courtin’ on in the near future. Of course, there’s no guarantee that John will be the next to get married. John’s twin Jana Duggar has two younger sisters who have already beaten her to the altar. Of course, there are rumors that Jana isn’t allowed to date  because the family relies so heavily on her help around the house. So apparently John David gets a plane, while Jana get an apron. Sounds like a raw deal to us. Watch 19 Kids and Counting online to try and guess which Duggar will be married off next. Jana Duggar Photos: So Beautiful, So Maligned 1. Jana Marie Duggar Jana Marie Duggar is so beautiful … and put upon, supposedly, by a family that relies on her to help take care of the others but never have a life of her own. If that’s true, it’s sad. Is it time for her to break free?
