Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson: Finally Married, Still Not Allowed to Spend Time Alone

Back in June,  Josiah Duggar married Lauren Swanson got married in the sort of massive, lavish ceremony his family has become known for. Basically, Duggar kids get hitched in the Ozark equivalent of royal weddings, except instead of celebrities and foreign leaders there are dozens of bait shop proprietors in attendance. Of course, Duggar weddings have an added layer of significance due to the family’s old-fashioned views on premarital sex. When Duggar couples are pronounced man and wife and the groom kisses the bride — that’s generally the first kiss either of them has experienced. And it takes place in front of millions of TV viewers and a thousand guests, many of whom spent their morning digging for nightcrawlers. Prior to tying the knot, couples like Josiah and Lauren aren’t even permitted to spend time alone together. This is a result of the ultra-strict Duggar courtship rules that prohibit everything from hand-holding to “front hugs.” (“Side hugs” are still permitted, as there’s little chance of accidental clothed genital contact. They’ve really put a lot of thought into this stuff.) Duggar kids aren’t even allowed to use social media prior to courtship. In that sense, Josiah stands out as an anomaly. Unlike his siblings, Josiah was involved in a courtship prior to meeting his wife, and thus, the man knows his way around Instagram. And we suppose it shows when he posts epically panoramic vacation photos like the ones above. Unfortunately, in addition to showing off some breathtaking scenery, Josiah is also confirming the theory that Duggar date nights are lame AF. According to Josiah’s latest posts, he and Lauren are currently on vacation in North Carolina with her family. That’s all well and good, but it’s led many to wonder if these two ever spend any time alone together. They went from chaperoned dates to vacations with her family with nothing but a short honeymoon in between. As a Duggars, Josiah and Lauren are no doubt feeling the pressure to begin breeding. But it’s hard to see how that’s gonna happen when they’re constantly surrounded by family members. Maybe Josiah and Lauren need to sit down and explain to their parents how this whole process works. It’ll be awkward, but it might be the only way. View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Relive Their Whirlwind Courtship on Counting On!

Jana Duggar: ACTUALLY Dating Jeremy Vuolo’s Brother?!

If you’re a Duggar fan, we certainly don’t need to tell you that Jana Duggar is single . And if you follow the family closely on social media, then we may not need to tell you about the growing legend of Chuck Vuolo, Jeremy’s hipster brother. In case you’re unaware, every time Jinger and Jeremy visit his family in Texas, fans absolutely lose their minds over older brother Chuck. This week, Jeremy posted the above photo in honor of Chuck’s birthday: “Happy Birthday, big brother! I admire you in so many ways and am grateful to God for you,” Jeremy captioned the pic. “You’ve already been an amazing uncle to my daughter; I look forward to sharing “’stories of Uncle Chuck’ with her when she’s a bit older. I love you more than I can say. Enjoy the day, bro.” So we guess Chuck is a bit of a wild card? Of course, with how squeaky clean Jeremy and his family seem to be “stories of Uncle Chuck” probably include such rebellious behavior as the time he put his lunch money in the collection plate. Anyway, you may be asking yourself, what does this loose cannon Uncle Chuck have to do with Jana? Well, you see, Duggar fans are oddly obsessed with the idea of Chuck entering a romantic relationship with Jana Duggar. It all began when Jeremy posted some pics from a mini family reunion last month. “Set him up with Jana?” one fan asked. “I was thinking the same thing too,” echoed another. “I hope so she’s so sweet!” wrote a third commenter, adding: “How cute would they be?!”  Jana courtship rumors surface at the rate of about one per month, and it seems like October will be entirely devoted to Chuck. Some fans are now convinced that Jana and Chuck are actually courting — and as far as we can tell this is based on nothing other than the fact that they have yet to publicly state that they’re not. Maybe those fans are onto something. After all, with this many members of the Duggar family involved, it seems like someone would clear the air and issue some sort of statement. Of course, it’s much more possible that Jana is still single and everyone involved is just enjoying a little free publicity. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Asserts Her Independence: I’m a Vuolo Now!

Josh & Anna Duggar Make Rare Public Appearance Together: See? We’re Totally Still Married!

Folks, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum, it’s been a difficult few weeks news-wise. And now, we might all be forced to endure another public spectacle that no one asked for or expected … We’re talking, of course, about a Josh Duggar comeback. Yes, if you’re a Duggar aficionado you might have noticed a lot more Josh in your life lately. And, like everything else the Duggars do, that’s 100 percent by design. For years, there have been rumors of Jim Bob and Michelle helping their son to return to public life, and now it seems it’s actually happening. Perhaps they’ve been emboldened by the current political climate, or perhaps they simply feel enough time has passed that fans will have forgotten the severity of Josh’s sex crimes . Whatever the case, the effort to rebuild Josh’s public image and welcome him back into the Duggar media empire has begun in earnest. It started with Josh appearing in several Duggar Facebook posts back in September. It continued as Josh and Anna celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their engagement this month — as though that’s actually something people celebrate. Those festivities prompted rumors that Josh and Anna’s marriage is a sham , as Anna appeared undeniably miserable in all of the accompanying pics. So that was an unexpected bump in the road of Josh’s recovery, but Jim Bob is every bit the PR genius that Kris Jenner is, so he was well-prepared for the inevitable rumors that Josh and Anna are headed for divorce . As In Touch Weekly reports, longtime Duggar family friend Josie Bates married Kelton Balka this week . The Bates are reality “stars” in their own right (though not nearly as famous as the Duggars), so this qualified as a public event. And that makes it the first time Josh and Anna have attended a non-family related public event since he was embroiled in multiple consecutive sex scandals back in 2015. So you can bet it won’t be long before Josh starts making appearances on Counting On again. Will Duggar fans turn their backs on the family in protest? We’d like to think so, but something tells us that won’t be the case. View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Celebrate Ten-Year Anniversary, Continue to Make Fans Nauseous

Jill Duggar Offers Lame Parenting Advice, Gets Roasted on Instagram!

The Duggars really enjoy offering parenting advice to their fans. We're sure some folks appreciate this tendency, but it seems that just as many resent the unsolicited counsel. After all, the Duggars could really benefit from tending to their own backyard, so when they get a tad too preachy, their fans are often quick to call them out. This phenomenon took place in a big way this week, when Jill Duggar offered up some painfully obvious insights on parenting on her Instagram page.   1. Jill the Mom Jill is a mother of two, and she obviously takes parenting very seriously. She homeschools her kids and loves to share parenting tips on social media. 2. Helping or Hurting? Some fans find Jill’s tips helpful, while others feel that she tends to be a bit preachy while offering advice that’s already well-known to most parents. 3. Obvious Child Recently, Jill posted a new post on her blog about the importance of allowing children to play outside. 4. Yes, Really Apparently, Jill is under the impression that “let them play outside” is some sort of groundbreaking approach to parenting. 5. Jill Needs to Chill Needless to say, fans weren’t exactly blown away with Jill’s helpful hints. And many of them were quick to let her know that. 6. Sarcastic “Wow!” “A friend of ours called recently to check in,” Jill wrote. “She said that when her girls were little and her husband was in school she would take her littles outside and give them a ball to play with and that they’d play for quite awhile before she brought them home, tired and ready for bed.” View Slideshow

Counting On Recap: Kendra, Joseph Duggar Welcome Baby Garrett!!

Back in June, Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell welcomed the birth of their first child , a precious baby boy named Garrett David. Now, almost four months later, Counting On has aired Kendra’s difficult delivery episode. As difficult as it was for fans to see her in so much discomfort, it was even harder for Joe. It was hardest of all, of course, for Kendra herself. Many Duggar fans were surprised when they learned that Kendra gave birth in a hospital . The Duggar family is big on home births for … complicated cultural reasons. “Kendra would lay down and she would have a contraction,” Joe explained. “So,” he continued. “The only comfortable position for her was standing on her feet.” She was having enough discomfort and difficulty that they went to the hospital. And that was a very smart move. Kendra kept holding her breath instinctively while in pain, but  Kendra’s labor would ultimately last 13 hours. As her contractions grew closer and closer together, her water still had not broken. Fortunately, she was in the hospital, so the doctor was able to help her with that. “Don’t push,” Kendra’s mother coached her as her labor grew more intense. “Just breathe.” Joe was riding an emotional high, but his actual feelings were very conflicted. “It’s exciting because our baby’s almost here,” he admitted. “But also it’s a hard time because I have to see Kendra go through the hardest time of her life.” When little Garrett David was born, however, Joseph was positively over the moon. “He’s here, he’s here!” Joe kept repeating. Kendra chimed in, cooing over her “sweet little guy.” Fans have known about this precious baby for months, but seeing his birth on Counting On gave them a whole new perspective. Part of the appeal of the Duggars is how viewers feel that they’ve been with the family every step of the way, even through births. That can really hook you. That said, a number of viewers can’t help but wonder: what comes next? Obiously, Joe and Kendra are busy being new parents to their baby and Kendra is probably still in the later stages of healing from childbirth. But fans realize that, for most of their marriage, Kendra has been pregnant with their honeymoon baby. What is next for the couple? A lot of married couples have a child early on in their marriage. After they give birth, they focus on parenting but still make time to enjoy their married state. But Joe and Kendra are not most couples — they’re Duggars. Fans figure that it’s only a matter of time before baby #2 is on the way. That said, considering how difficult Kendra’s childbirth was, will she be so eager to try again? And having seen and heard her pain, will Joe be in any hurry to return to a delivery room? Probably not. But they may feel an obligation to, either from family and community pressure or from religious beliefs. And if you spend enough time around a precious baby like Garrett, sometimes the pain of childbirth becomes a distant memory … and all that you can think about is how much you’d like to have another.

School Employee Admits to Losing Her Virginity to 15-Year-Old Student

This is yet another story of a school employee having sex with a minor. A former middle school employee was arrested after she confessed to police. The woman claims that she “fell in love” with her underage victim … and that she lost her virginity to him. Hannah Siboyeh is a former employee of Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. In July of 2017, she was 23 when she began an elleged sexual relationship with an underage student. The student has not been identified, of course, as he is both a minor and the victim. But it sounds like the former Labay Middle School student was 15 at the time. According to court documents, Siboyeh has acknowledged that what she did was the result of “one mistake after another.” Authorities learned about this on April 5th, 2018, after another student came forward to an assistant principal. They had apparently been at the student’s home and they noticed that Siboyeh was allegedly in bed with the student. Court documents state that the student reported the two “lying in bed together and that weird noises would be coming from the room.” That is, emphatically, not appropriate for any adult and minor. Good for that student for recognizing that and having the bravery to come forward. When investigators spoke to witnesses, they confirmed that the boy and Siboyeh were engaged in a “boyfriend girlfriend” type relationship. Court documents say that Siboyeh didn’t exactly hold out under interrogation. When confrontated by law enforcement at the middle school, she is said to have “started crying and stated that she lost her virginity to” the victim. “She admitted that she loved [the teen] with all of her heart,” the documents read. “She described the relationship as one mistake after another,” the documents say. “And admitted that it was her fault because she was the grownup and was older.” Not that it makes anything else okay, but it’s good that she is at least not blaming the minor. It is always the adult’s responsibility. Siboyeh posted the $10,000 bond on Friday and was able to go free. She is of course instructed to avoid any contact with her victim or his family. Additionally, she is to avoid going within 200 feet of any sort of school or child care center, and she is also to give that clearance to the boy’s home. She has been instructed to avoid contact with anyone under the age of 17. A little less intuitively, she has been forbidden from accessing the internet. Presumably so that she does not contact her vicitm … or any new ones. View Slideshow: 31 Teachers 2 Hot 4 Students

Jinger & Amy Duggar Bury the Hatchet … But Why Were They Feuding In the First Place?

Back in November of 2016,  Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo at one of those massively-attended ceremonies that have become a common occurrence in Springdale, Arkansas in recent years. With few exceptions, the Duggars marry very young, and they invite hundreds of guests to their weddings, including, of course, their many siblings and other familial relations. But as fans pointed out following Jinger’s wedding, one of the most famous members of the extended Duggar clan was not in attendance at the ceremony or the reception. In fact, Amy Duggar was 1,300 miles away in Las Vegas. As you might imagine, Jinger’s ultra-conservative family are no great fans of Sin City, and many assumed that Amy’s choice of vacation destination was her way of flipping the bird to Jim Bob and company, Adding fuel to the fire of a major feud was the revelation that Jinger stopped following Amy on Instagram. As  In Touch Weekly   points out , the Duggar obsessives of Reddit went wild when they noticed that Amy was posting selfies from Vegas as Jinger was saying “I do” in Arkansas. “Maybe Jinger and Amy had a falling out,” one fan speculated. “I actually bought the plans excuse. Duggar weddings are always announced like two months prior,” remarked another, referring to Amy’s explanation that she was merely attending to a prior engagement. “They could’ve easily bought tickets to another destination before that.” “I think the family is huge enough now that having every person attend every event is getting increasingly unlikely,” a third fan noted. “There is no rift between me and my cousins at all. It was just wrong timing,” Amy told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “We already had something scheduled.” But fans weren’t buying it.  In addition to the fact that Jinger had cut ties with her cousin on social media, the whole situation came on the heels of reports that the Duggars were no longer allowed to talk to Amy , per Jim Bob’s orders. This week, Jinger began following Amy on Instagram again, but for many, even that’s not sufficient proof that she’s been welcomed back into the family. After all, Jinger’s reputation as the family rebel is well-deserved., and if anyone were to defy Jim Bob’s commands and get in touch with Amy, it would be her. In all likelihood, Jinger never harbored any ill will toward Amy at all. It’s a fact that Duggar wedding dates are often kept secret until just weeks before the wedding, and Amy may have already made other plans. What seems far more likely is that she was ordered to end her relationship with Amy and is now going against Jim Bob’s wishes. Keep an eye on this situation, folks. The feud may be over, but there’s a good chance the drama is just beginning. View Slideshow: Amy Duggar Swimsuit Photos: Girl Gone (Sort of) WILD!

Lauren Swanson: Proof of Pregnancy Posted on Instagram?

It’s been just over two months since Lauren Swanson married Josiah Duggar in one of those massive Duggar ceremonies attended by the entire state of Arkansas. Obviously, Josiah and Lauren are still very much in the newlywed stage, but they’re also Duggars, which means the whole world is already wondering why they haven’t started a family. Yes, rumors that Lauren is pregnant with Josiah’s baby began almost immediately after these two tied the knot. Thus far there’s been nothing in the way of compelling evidence to support those claims, so Duggar fans went digging to find some of their own. And apparently, they’ve already gotten pretty desperate in their search. Josiah posted the photo below to Instagram this week, and some Duggar obsessives think there’s more going on here than meets the eye. See the way Lauren is sidled up close to Josiah? According to a coterie of imaginative conspiracy theorists, that’s not because they’re in love, and it’s certainly not because they feel the need to make up for lost time after being denied all forms of physical contact with one another for the first six months of their relationship. No, these folks believe Lauren is concealing a burgeoning baby bump. As far as we can tell, this pic alone is the source of all the Lauren pregnancy rumors circulating on social media at the moment. Look, we’re not saying that she’s definitively not pregnant — the girl is a Duggar now, after all. But we are saying the folks who are pointing to this pic as proof are really, really reaching. To us, what’s far more interesting than the image itself is Josiah’s choice of caption. “Can’t believe it’s almost been 2 months since I married my best friend!!! -Lauren #2monthiversary #marriageisthebest #amazonoutfit,” he wrote. There’s a lot to unpack here. For one, dude just quoted his wife calling him her best friend. That’s some next-level insecurity, and we’re beginning to grow concerned that Josiah’s male-pattern baldness is affecting his self-esteem. On top of that what the hell is “#amazonoutfit”? Is he saying he and Lauren bought their clothes on Amazon? Is shopping online, like, something Duggars are only allowed to do once they’re married?! Forget pregnancy rumors, we may have just uncovered something far more bizarre and interesting. View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Relive Their Whirlwind Courtship on Counting On!

Anna Duggar: Proof She’s Pregnant with Baby #6 (!!) Revealed??

Earlier this week, Josh Duggar dared to show his face online again, rearing his ugly head in a family photo. Fans were irate — and were so distracted that some didn’t immediately notice that something about Anna’s look was very conspicuous. Now, however, these eagle-eyed Duggar fans believe that Anna Duggar is pregnant with baby #6! Josh Duggar is so reviled that even people who like the Duggar family hate him, and those who dislike the Duggars as a whole still think that he’s worse than the rest. That’s what happens when the world finds out that you molested little girls and got away with it. So it is totally understandable that almost everyone’s attention was fully on Josh appearing in Anna Duggar’s Labor Day family photo. But if you turn your attention to the right of the pic, you will notice that Anna is also partially off screen, even though she and Josh could have easily fit into the picture. She could be hiding a baby bump. But the fact that half of her body is excluded isn’t the only reason why fans think that she’s pregnant. Can you catch it? While most of the comments are either from people going “yikes” about Josh appearing in a photo or, worse, from people defending him, others pointed out Anna’s dress. These fans recognized it as the same floral print maternity gown that she was wearing not all that long ago. While it’s totally possible to wear a maternity gown because it’s relatively comfortable and loose-fitting, fans can’t help but wonder if she is once again pregnant. It has been almost exactly one year since Anna gave birth. Considering that we’re talking about the Duggar family, it is not unreasonable to think that she may be pregnant again. Take a closer look at Anna and her gown. If she is pregnant, it looks like she’s still at an early enough stage of her pregnancy that she can conceal an obvious baby bump by wearing a loose gown and by leaning forward. (And, of course, by cropping off part of her body in the photo) As we mentioned, it’s been a while since she gave birth. Mason Duggar will turn one year old in less than a week — on September 12. Late last month, Anna revealed a health issue impacting baby Mason . Maybe Mackynzie, age 8, Michael, age 7, Marcus, age 5, Meredith, age 3, and Mason, age 1-ish are going to get a baby sibling. As we mentioned, the photo saw a number of passionate defenders speak up for Josh Duggar. One commenter suggested that, in the future, Anna should simply disable comments when she shares a picture of Josh, so that she doesn’t have to look at the “hate.” Another condemned Josh’s detractors, writing “society doesn’t understand true forgiveness,” as if holding child-molesters accountable is a strictly secular value. (For the record, it is not, and we should note that other famous conservatives, including some Robertsons of Duck Dynasty fame, publicly urged Anna to divorce the creep) One commenter even revealed that her own son had “gone through” what Josh had when he was 15, and expressed pity for these men for facing consequences for their actions. Wow . Even if Anna is pregnant, you can bet that the discourse over Josh is not going away any time soon. Some fans feel that, all things considered, it is simply too soon for Baby #6. Others feel that, at this point, she’s as thoroughly linked to Josh as she can be, and another child won’t do any harm. That said, it’s always possible that she was just wearing a comfortable, loose-fitting dress that still complies with Duggar rules. In the mean time, fans think that they have proof that Lauran Swanson is pregnant with Josiah Duggar’s baby already . View Slideshow: The Duggar Family: A Timeline of Endless Weddings

Cardi B Flaunts Naked Post-Baby Body Six Weeks After Giving Birth!

Last month, Offset was arrested — which was a parole violation. His fans fear that he’ll miss part of his baby’s life if his court battle doesn’t go well. For now, though, he’s still free and thirsting after his stunning and talented wife, Cardi B. And he wants everyone to know it, too. In fact, Offset shared a nude pic of her with the world. Take a look: In the captions of the photo that you are about to see, Offset refers to Cardi as “wifey,” “goddess,” and “beauty.” He also adds a number of tongue emojis as well as some ring emojis. Clearly, he remains entranced with Cardi and her incredible post-baby body. Offset is clearly delighted that he put a ring on it when he did. And that’s no surprise — just look at how gorgeous she is! Though Cardi is covering her right nipple with her hand to make the photo Instagram-appropriate, her extensive tattoo is on full display. She is even wearing bright pink hair as well. Offset shared the photo with his fans and followers before performing with Migos at Madison Square Garden. This built up hype for those in the audience who follow him, because Cardi also made an appearance. That was such a treat! Kylie Jenner isn’t the only one who can promote her baby daddy , after all. Cardi and Offset even hyped her presence earlier in the day. The “Bodak Yellow” singer shared a snap of herself in black lingerie on a private plane, captioning it “I’m on my way to you.” Offset, who could not contain his thirst, commented on the photo, writing: “HURRY HURRY HURRY.” This guy was so excited to see his wife that his eagerness spilled over onto social media when he could have said that much and more in a text. But, look at her — can you blame him? The answer is no. It is probably worth noting that  Cardi B was counting down the days until she could bang Offset again . At the time, she said that doctor’s orders were that she had to wait “three weeks and four days.” By our math, it has been about that long since she shared that. We don’t know that Offset taking naked pics of Cardi is necessarily a confirmation that they’re banging again or that her vagina is once again fully armed and operational. All that the photo confirms is that Cardi looks sexy as hell and her husband wants the whole world to know. Some people, especially those who have so recently given birth, are reluctant to show off their bodies. Sometimes it’s because they feel that it’s somehow immoral. Sometimes, they’re ashamed of the shape or features of their body. No matter the reason, it’s a personal choice to be respected. But we should be equally respectful of those who choose to flaunt their bodies, who see clothing as little more than shiny wrapping paper concealing the real prize inside. Cardi is no stranger to taking off her clothes, whether it’s before men who are showering them with money or before photographers who are ready to put her on a magazine cover. Good for her. And good for Offset for being proud of his wife’s beauty instead of strangely ashamed of it.  View Slideshow: 27 Hottest Celebrity MILFs
