Although Josh and Anna had been dealing with a lot of issues as of late, the couple seem to be finding strength in each other's arms. In fact, the two are actually expecting another addition to their family. In a video released via People earlier this year, Josh and Anna revealed that they are awaiting to welcome a baby girl in their family. At the moment, Josh's brood consists of Mackynizie, 5, Michael, 3, and Marcus, 1.
While a lot of people criticized the family for the courses of action they took following Josh's errors in the past, some fans and followers of the show actually commended Anna for standing by her husband throughout the ordeal. For her part, Anna disclosed that she knew beforehand about the issue and even revealed that her parents themselves were aware of Josh's past.
"When my family and I first visited the Duggar home, Josh shared his past teenage mistakes," Anna said in a statement, according to Us Magazine. She added, "I was surprised at his openness and humility and at the same time didn't know why he was sharing it. For Josh, he wanted not just me but my parents to know who he really was - even every difficult past mistake."
