Jinger Duggar’s relationship with her siblings
Jinger Duggar has 18 siblings including, 9 sisters and 9 brothers. All of their names start with ‘J’. A week after Jinger got married, Jim Bob and Michelle welcomed their baby no. 20, an 8-year-old boy. The boy is Michelle’s niece Rachel Hutchins’ son. The Duggar parents took over the permanent guardianship of the boy after Rachel was unable to take care of him.
Jinger’s eldest brother Josh is not in good terms with the family since the cheating and molestation scandal in July 2016. It was revealed that he had molested 5 girls, including his three sisters and had been a member of the infamous site, Ashley Madison.
That publicity distress of the Duggars, which was cited as one of the ’10 Big Scandals of 2015’, led to the cancellation of their reality series 19 Kids and Counting. Josh has made his first public appearance on the biggest family event on Jinger’s wedding.
In 2014, she along with her sisters Jill, Jana and Jessa co-penned a book entitled Growing Up Duggar: It’s All About Relationships. The book chronicles the upbringing of the Duggar siblings in a large family.
